CPU

It looks like they're using the laptop version of C2D, as there's no 2.0GHz C2D for the desktop. That's kind of a letdown, as the mobile C2D isn't that much faster than a standard Core Duo. Although I'm happy to see that they've lowered the prices and added some more grahpics options.

I just noticed...

...that the cheapest model ($999) has Intel GMA950 grapihcs. The previous base model had a 128MB Radeon X1600. I know people don't buy Macs to play games, but this is still a letdown.
