Apple bumps power and price for white MacBook

Apple has tweaked the performance of its entry-level laptop, the white MacBook, but at a price.

The portable Mac now comes with a slightly faster 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and newer, Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics. Maximum battery life has also been improved, from seven tio 10 hours.

All that (plus a weaker pound) adds up to a price increase of £33 to £849 (incl. VAT).

The remainder of the specification is unchanged, comprising a 250GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM and the 13.3-inch, 1280x800 pixel display.
