may be they should've relabeled the 13" MBP as Macbook and retired the white Macbook, frankly the specs are quite low except for the CPU.. display at 1280x800 :(

But the 15" and 17" inchers look awesome with quads

I think that was the original goal - hence why my original 13" unibody just says "Macbook" and not "Macbook Pro." I think they originally planned on retiring the white plastic model, and either calling all of them Macbooks, or just calling the 15" and 17" models Pros. I can only assume they changed because there was still demand for the slightly cheaper plastic model.

I agree. I'm especially bummed out that the screen resolution is the same as before. I was hoping that it would be 1440x900! Given that the Macbook Air 13" is 1440x900, it's plausible.
