Apple is doing a silent (and slight) refresh of it's MacBook and MacBook Pro line as supplies of the new machines hit retailers. While processor speeds, HDs and RAM specs remain mostly unchanged on the MacBooks, the motherboard chipset is being updated to include a 800Mhz bus and the GMA X3100 video card whose drivers had previously been spotted in Leopard (har).
The MacBook Pros now offer the option of a 2.6Ghz chip at a $250 premium and still top out with 4Gb of RAM and 250Gb hard drive options.
This refresh is similar to the silent Mac Mini refresh earlier this year which was made with little fanfare.
Obviously, much bigger announcements are on the horizon in the portable space from Apple.&nb
