Yeah, that basically eliminates the main advantage the aluminum ones had over the plastic one. Now it's $300 for a pretty case and an extra 40 GB.

Well, no....the aluminum MB also has LED backlighting.

Oh man... that really is a tempting offer... if only it was LED backlit.

I think I'm a noob. What are the benefits of LED backlighting, other than the instant on? Just thinner?

Less power consumption, better color reproduction, will always be the same brightness until it breaks, thinner, lighter.

So far, I'm a fan of the trackpad. I didn't like it much until I turned on tap-click. Actually pushing the button down is kind of clunky, mostly because it requires more pressure to do it towards the top of the pad and that's where I tend to click.

Yeah I saw this too, it really makes it harder to decide which macbook to pick up. The LED backlight and the trackpad are the main hold ups now. Does anyone know if the new track pad can do more than the older one (besides the whole thing being the button)?

Well, CCFL's could hold up for a few years right?
