Question:

What happened to the aluminum macbook?

I was looking online at the mac book (not the pro) and i noticed there was only the white plastic one. What happened?Although I am glad cause i was deciding between the white one and the aluminum one.So what happened? Did it get discontinued?

Answer:

The aluminum ones dropped in price and are now all branded macbook pros. This is so that it will be easier to distinguish between a macbook and a macbook pro. If you were going to buy the aluminum macbook (late 2008-mid 2009), buy a higher spec macbook pro for the same price now.
They have the 13 aluminum MacBook (the one that was actually the MacBook, not just new MacBook Pro version). The new MacBook Pro 13 is a stronger choice for long term viability though. The white MacBook's logic board can support only a max of 4GB of RAM. The aluminum 13 MacBook Pro's logic board can handle 8GB of RAM (even the most basic model). So it can be upgraded longer. Something to think about.
