| Apple Store down, MacBook update I've just noticed the Apple Store is down in the UK and in the US. Looking at the front page of the (US) Apple web site, there is an announcement of new MacBooks, with an Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.16 GHz, 1 GB of RAM, and a 200 GB hard drive. I don't yet know if there are any other changes to Apple's line-up...  |

| Apple Stores back up, no other changes afaics. Bit of a lackluster update, I think. A tad faster, 'bit more memory, I guess (I'm not sure whether they had 1 GB or 512 MB at the base before), same prices. Nothing earth-shattering.

| Since they updated the store, the Apple website is awwwwfuly slooooow. The only fast webpage is the main store window. Everything is else is so slow that Safari says "Can't find server" after 5 mins of loading...

| The swiss store was also out and is also a slow-coach and honestly the upgraded products are not so glittering. So is there some other reason for all this?

| i'm still not happy about the ram limits... i mean, before the intel switch when was the last time apple sold machines that you could only double the ram on? i mean, that's going to be bloody useless in 3-4 years! my powermac came with 256 as standard 2 and half years ago, which was just about fine for panther, just as 1gb is comfortable for tiger now. if my mac had the same limits as these intel books, i'd be trying to run leopard on 512mb ram with no upgrade option... that's really bad... in 2 years i've octupled the amount of ram in here.
