As predicted by many, Apple today announced upgrades to their Macbook and Macbook Pro line of computers. Both feature the new 45nm Intel Penryn processors, larger hard drives, 802.11n wifi, and for the Macbook Pro, a multi-touch trackpad. Both are "available immediately, shipping immediately." No word on the iPhone SDK.

Why don't they do more HW refreshes? I think stories like this would soon get boring if the press reported an update every 2 weeks. Also, maybe Apple are worried about "Osborning" their sales. ATM it seems they do a refresh about every 6 months. That's long enough for potential customers to put the thought of waiting for something marginally more powerful out of their minds. Why buy V1 when V1.1 is "just round the corner"?
