Apple has released 2 firmware updates for the late 2008 models of the Macbook, Macbook Pro and Macbook Air. The 1st update is for the EFI and the 2nd update for the SMC (you need to run the Software Updater again after the 1st update).
Note: When the Macbook reboots during the EFI update, you could hear a loud beep. This is normal behaviour.

Apple has released a firmware update for the glass Trackpad on the new generation Macbook and Macbook Pro. Many users had reported an issue where the Trackpad didn’t recognize the input regularly.
The update can be installed through Software Update, and the actual installation of the firmware update requires the Macbook to be connected to AC power.

Over at Gizmondo they’ve put the latest Macbook and Macbook pro head to head in a graphics death match! which seems unfair to considering the spec differences! But it does give you a nice overview if torn between the two.

Price at $289, its pretty expensive yes but it looks cool! This slick black and white looking external blu-ray drive should compliment the new Apple Macbook perfectly. It allows you to burn both blu-ray and DVDs, so you can do pretty much what you want it, be it backup large amounts of data or just play movies etc. The thing I like most is that its USB powered, so no need to carry an adaptor, thoughts?
The Portable Blu-ray Super Multi Drive supports on the Quiet Drive Technology reduces the noise level of audio and video playback while also delivering increased writing reliability. Liquid Crystal Tilt/Blur Compensator plays and records to discs more reliably – the ad Research technology that compensates for warped discs. Dual/Double Layer recording provides nearly twice the capacity of a single layer recordable Blu-ray-R (25 Gbytes vs. 50 Gbytes).

Apple has released updates for Macbook, Macbook Pro and the Macbook Air. The iMac 24inch is set for a update in November 2008 and will be available in glossy black, which BTW looks amazing! As does the new glossy black Macbook, it appears to have gotten the best of the updates e.g. improved build quality, better batter life, LED screen, jump for a more detailed look at the apple blog.
