Apple If you thought that Apple kept the white MacBook around only temporarily, you thought wrong. The white MacBook remained on Apple's product listing, despite the introduction of the newer and faster unibody MacBooks. The newer MacBooks were more expensive than the white model, so Apple kept it around to serve the budget market. To confirm that the low-end MacBook will be around for a while, the company updated the machine today.

You can get firewire pcmcia cards. The simple fact is that most people don't need firewire and for general purpose use, it clearly lost to usb. I know apple favored firewire for a while, but it just doesnt make sense to put in the ports by default.

Ah, but where to stick the firewire PC card in a unibody MacBook? There are no PC card or ExpressCard slots.
