So here’s the breakdown of what Apple’s offering in the laptop category, starting today:

Apple Macbook

The 13-in. white Macbook, which I presumptively said was a “legacy” model, is now the new standard Macbook. That is to say that the aluminum unibody models have gained a “Pro” and left the unadorned Macbook name to their shinier polycarbonate sibling.A1012,

So what’s inside? A 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, for one, with 2GB DDR2 memory (can be upgraded to 4GB for an extra $100), a 160GB hard drive (several upgrades to 500GB) and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics. Outside, a standard keyboard and the classic white polycarbonate shell. All this for $999, which is to say that it’s a very affordable Apple laptop.
