MacBook 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - Black

Is a Refurbished MacBook 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - Black the same thing as Macbook 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo - black? In other words, 2.16 and 2.2, are they referring to the same cpu?

 

I think that the 2.16 C2D MB might not be Santa Rosa. Cannot guarantee that, though.

 

hat' what i thought, but it has the retail price before refurbished discount the same as a 2.2 santa rosa.

 

Right... the MacBook with the 2.16 GHz C2D is NOT Santa Rosa... and thus is lacks the Intel GMA X3100 as well.

 

So shouldn't it be cheaper? It's only $200 off the regular price of a Santa Rosa macbook. I mean, in May the refurbished macbooks were $200 cheaper than the regular price. THen when they updated the MB with the Santa Rosa, it was another $200 off, so $400 off in total.

Shouldn't it be the same with these ones?

 

I don't know why the pricing's the same...but yes, that is the "old" MacBook. No Santa Rosa, no X3100, no new Keyboard.

 

I didn't know the new macbooks had a new keyboard.

 

The keyboard layout is slightly changed... most notably around the F1-F12 keys.

 

I don't think Apple cares too much about the Refurb store, which would explain why the price hasn't changed.

 

Change in the function key's ordering...like Dashboard and Expose is closer to the left side now, and they added iTunes control keys.

Does the new MacBook's Command key still have an Apple icon?

 

Well I knew about the new keyboard, I just didn't know the new macbooks had it.

 

Yeah, the new MacBooks have minor design changes, not really noticeable at first glance though.

Nope. It just says "Command" and has that same old symbol.

 

I see. So it really is following the new Apple Keyboard's placement and design of keys.
