Apple yesterday announced updated Macbooks and Macbook Pros. Both laptops are available for order from the web as well as Apple stores. Both laptops now have glass displays, which from some of the graphic designers that I’ve talked to seem to be disappointed. The Macbook underwent a huge change by changing it’s body from the durable polycarbonate to an aluminum body, something a lot of people have been waiting for, including myself. Unfortunately though the Macbook has dropped the firewire plug-ins for whatever reason, otherwise I would’ve honestly sold my current Macbook Pro and bought the smaller Macbook. The wait continues.
