Despite a lack of signs pointing to an Apple MacBook Air refresh, there are some indications of an impending update to the more pedestrian MacBook.
The same Vietnamese Web site that purportedly did a teardown of an iPhone 4G now seemingly has a new MacBook in its hands, according to a video posted on YouTube (below). Specifications for the MacBook that appear in the video include an Intel 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor (updated from the current 2.26GHz chip) and Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics (updated from the aging Nvidia 9400M graphics silicon).
Note that those are the same chip upgrades that the aluminum 13-inch MacBook Pro got when it was updated last month. The MacBook Pro is also offered with a slightly faster 2.66GHz Intel processor.
There is no indication about when or whether the updated MacBook might be available. But if the gent in the video is cracking open a sealed box--which appears to be the case--availability may not be too far off.

Vietnamese website Tinhte has turned up what appears to be the next MacBook from Apple.
The new laptop sports several hardware upgrades over currently available models, including a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and an NVIDIA GeForce 320M GPU.
This story, first noticed by Engadget, is the second major Apple hardware scoop for Tinhte this week; this is the same website that uncovered the second iPhone 4G.
Apple has not confirmed the authenticity of the story, and no details about when the new MacBook will be released are available.
