We're not sure what's going on in Vietnam these days but it's suddenly a hot bed for industry leaks. Perhaps it's due to manufacturers expanding from China to Vietnam's relatively cheap (but limited) labor pool? Or maybe it's because the kids at Tinhte are just resourceful as hell? Whatever it is, they've just scooped themselves what appears to be an unannounced MacBook update (identifying itself as a MacBook7,1) that includes a faster 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor (up from 2.26GHz) and NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM (an update from the GeForce 9400M found in the current MacBook6,1) -- right, the same CPU and GPU as the entry level 13-inch MacBook Pro but for only $999 (assuming Apple maintains the same entry-level pricing). These minor bumps aren't enough to warrant a model change, however, as we're still seeing "Model No: A1342" stamped on the box. Of course, this could be an elaborate hoax, but Tinhte has an impressive track record and these MacBook specs are right in line with what we'd expect since the white MacBook was last updated in October 2009. No word on when we'll see these announced but it's gotta be soon -- Tuesday perhaps, with a refreshed MacBook Air if we're lucky. Video unboxing after the break and plenty of pics for Zaprudering at the source link below.

Was expecting Gizmodo to be the source
Apple logo on the bottom of it seems a bit weird
Nope, engadget :3:
The original leak is here:

Was he doing that video on a fucking building site or something
Why are they doing it in a warehouse? And could have they not chosen someone with autism to display it? I can't understand a word he's saying.
Apples marketing is genius. Now they're macbooks have the same specs as my Macbook Pro for a cheaper price.

This White Macbook is way too close to my Macbook Pro 2.66 ghz.
that logo at the bottom is odd, Apple has never but their logo on the bottom of the laptops.
Hurrah, my MacBook is losing value.
Those specs are hardly worth getting excited about. Show me a Macbook with 8GB of DDR3 1600, a Core i7 980x, a GeForce 380M 1GB, a 7200 RPM 500GB 2.5" harddrive, USB 3.0, Wireless a/b/g/n/bluetooth/3G/4G, and a 19" LED backlit LCD would be something to brag about.
Oh, and the box says "Macbook" on it, nothing about it being a "Refresh"

I sold an iMac from 2006 for $550USD.
specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86ghz
160gb hard drive
ATI x1600 128mb GDDR3
2gb DDR2 667mhx ram.
[editline]03:59PM[/editline]
got about 50% of it's retail value (Ram was 3rd party).

then again I won that iMac from a contest at a local Apple Store.

what? the boxes always say MacBook, they have an "updated" MacBook.
Refresh = update.
who gives a shit, this isn't going to be under $1,000, 2.5 GHz isn't that hot either, I'd rather get an i5
this is a Mac, stop caring about specs. they're never amazing spec wise unless you absolutely love Macs and will only use Macs..

That's because he's speaking Vietnamese :downs:

Generally if they're speaking Vietnamese a stupid American person isn't going to get it.

The current plastic macbooks have that too.
