The finish, and thus price has now nudged them into a higher bracket and while I don't question their value for money, the entry point (ignoring the single white MacBook left to soldier on) is basically higher than it was. I'd call them a 13" MacBook Pro as opposed to a plain MacBook. I would prefer to see the pricing of the MacBooks remain in a £699 - £9990 bracket. Ideally starting at £599 actually (I don't think Apple can get one out under £500 as it would mean using very outdated components and cutting too many corners).
