It seems like hardly a week goes by that we don't see some brand new Apple rumor. For the most part, they end up being just that, panning out to little more than sheer fanboy speculation (I mean, come on guys, an iPhone? That'll be the day). On occasion, however, they actually turn out to be, you know, true.

This week's rumored Macbook and Macbook Pro refreshes fit squarely in the latter. Apple updated its online store with the new models, early this morning.

Both lines will be equipped with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo chips, hard drive capacity bumps, and a standard 2GB of RAM. The Macbook Pro is also getting the new Multi-Touch trackpad that debuted on the Macbook Air, earlier in the year.

The Macbook's new Core 2 Duo processor offers up to 2.6 GHz with 6MB of shared L2 cache. The professionally-minded model also tops out with a 300GB hard drive and up to 4GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with up to 512MB of video memory. The new Multi-Touch trackpad gives users more direct control over apps like iPhoto, Aperture, and Safari. The notebook comes in two 15-inch configurations, for $1,999 and $2,499, and a $2,799 17-inch model.

The more consumer-minded 13-inch Macbook gets processor and hard drive bumps across the line, maxing out with a 2.4 GHz black model with 250GB 5,400 RPM hard drive. All models also come with a standard 2GB of memory, upgradeable to 4GB. The new Macbooks run from $1,099 to $1,4999.

Both models are available through Apple's store.
