New Apple for college?

Well, it also has a better optical drive (Combo drive vs 'Super'Drive). And the hard drive is bigger (80GB vs 120GB).
The 0,2GHz will make everything run a little bit faster too.
It all depends on what you intend to do with the laptop and how much you can/want to spend.

The 0.2 won't really be noticeable, but if you want to be able to burn DVDs and store more things than get the one thats $200 more. IMO for a college student you are definitaly gunna want the 2.2GHz one.

Agreed with the above. While the processor speed won't be too noticeable, the ability to burn any type of media, along with the bigger hard drive, are worth the price, especially for a college student. Being a student myself, I sprung for the most I could get, so I wouldn't have to upgrade very much for several years.

I just started this fall semester as a freshman and decided to go with the bigger processor that was out at the time(2.16) that came with the Superdrive and 160gb hard drive and I'm glad I did. I filled up my hard drive super quick with movies and music (you might not need a big hard drive) and I burn DVDs a lot (again you might not need too). I would say go ahead and spend the 200 now and get the upgraded Macbook, you won't regret it.

If I were you I would check out the refurbished store. You can get the better Macbook for the same price as the lesser new one. Best of both worlds and you can't go wrong with the refurbished ones.
