Apple quietly bumped the specs on the white MacBook. Changes to the base specs include:
- Processsor speed bumped from 2.0 GHz to 2.13 GHz.
- RAM speed bumped from 667 MHz to 800 MHz.
- Hard drive capacity increased from 120 GB to 160 GB. Build-to-order options up to 500 GB are now available, up from a previous maximum of 320 GB. Notably, the aluminum MacBook and MacBook Pro continue to offer maximum hard drive capacities of 320 GB.
In addition, Apple now advertises battery life of "up to 5 hrs wireless productivity", an increase over the previous advertised battery life of 4.5 hours. Finally, the new MacBook is advertised to meet new Energy Star Version 5.0 requirements and is rated EPEAT Gold, compared to a Silver rating on the previous model.
Base pricing remains at $999.
Notably, the unidentified "Mobile Computing" device that appeared in Best Buy's inventory system earlier this week was in fact this updated white MacBook.

Moving Outlook Contacts to Mac OS X Address Book
Don’t bother with any of Outlook’s “export as text/cvs” functions, importing these files is nearly impossible. Exporting as vCard is conveniently not an option. “Save As” vCard is possible, but you can only do it for one contact at a time.
Here’s the easy way to get Outlook to save a whole bunch of vCards for you:
1. Open Outlook Contacts list.
2. Select all your contacts. This may be easiest in “Address Cards” view.
3. In the “Action” menu, select “Forward as vCard”.
4. Wait a moment while Outlook creates a new email with all of your contacts attached to it as vCards.
5. Send this email to yourself.
6. Upon receipt of this email, save all the attachments to a location your mac can access, then import them into your Mac OS X Address Book.
