There's a lot of activity going on at Apple these days. By Thanksgiving, there'll be a new line of refreshed Apple notebooks that will come with Intel's Core 2 Duo microprocessors (instead of Apple's own Core Duo), running at speeds of up to 2.33GHz dual-core. Apple has actually slowed down Core Duo MacBook Pro professional notebooks production in lieu of revised and custom-configured models.

Apple has reportedly completed the revisions to its entire notebook product family, including the new 15- and 17-inch professional MacBook Pros, as well as new 13-inch consumer MacBooks last month.

The Mac maker's move was probably inspired by the sales figures of the MacBook. Compared to the MacBook Pro, the demand for the MacBook was far higher on a 2 to 1 ratio. Obviously, the demand for MacBooks has inspired Apple to keep on dishing out new and better versions of it, including the new 13-inch MacBooks. There's still no word, however, whether these 13-inch MacBooks will come equipped with Intel's Core 2 Duo chips or not.
