meme( the current Apple laptop lineup is a bit of a mess )

I mean, they basically have 5 different enclosures out there right now. They seem to be standing behind 3 machines, the Macbook, Pro, and Air. This leaves the 17" and the white MacBook. The 17" seems to be remaining for people who need a huge matte display. I'm not sure how many people this is. The fact that it didn't get updated, seems to suggest that it's on the way out. Or maybe the new treatment will be extended to this model. It will be interesting to see what happens here. The white MacBook is obviously a different story. Obviously it will continue to sell in huge numbers. They can't go without a machine in this price range. But you get the feeling, they're not really proud of it and wish you'd step it up to a new swishy aluminum number.
