New Macbooks & Macbook Pro's

The latest and greatest Macbook's and Macbook Pro's are now out...
The new Macbook seems very nice, all aluminum like the MBP...

I suspect the faster graphics may make it a viable option for using graphics intensive app's like Motion (but I'm not sure about this...) but, it lacks a firewire port!! So, anyone hoping to use pro audio and video equipment to capture audio or video using firewire needs to look at the macbook pro!
The Macbook pro, again, looks lovely

and the updates seem good. Gone is the firewire 400 port in favour of one firewire 800 port and there is no option for a matte display as the display is now made of glass, much like the iMac methinks...
I should point out the white Macbook is still being offered by Apple at a lower price point of $999 or £719. I mention this as despite not incorporating the better graphics and LED screen and track pad and HD and mard disk space (phew!) it does have a Firewire400 socket :-)
So, what do you think of these updates? Is anyone interested in getting one of the new MB's or MBP's?
