I'm sure it's me not understanding Apple's pricing policy but would someone care to explain the logic of the new prices?
The 2.16GHz white MacBook costs £829. The black MacBook costs £949. According to the spec details, the only difference between the two is the hard disk: 120Gb 5400rpm on one and 160Gb 5400rpm on the other. However, you can configure the white MacBook with the larger HDD for an extra £50, thus getting a computer with the same specs as the black MacBook for £879, i.e. £70 cheaper.
Does this mean that the nice black shiny plastic costs £70 more than the nice white shiny plastic? Or is there something else in the black MacBook that Apple is not telling us and that would really justify the difference in price?
