Apple Makes All Aluminum Unibodies MacBook Pros

So about a month ago or so, maybe even longer, I notice how Apple has no longer put the MacBook unibody or aluminum up for sale on their website anymore. Now everything with the unibody, is a MacBook Pro. You may be thinking “what difference does this make” or “why is this important”.
Well some of you may think of it as negligible, but it is interesting to see how Apple markets its products. A product earlier in the year that is so new and revolutionary named as a MacBook starting at $1299 is now marked as a MacBook “Pro” for $100 less.
Is Apple trying to sell their more advanced line of MacBook Pros to consumers, or is it just simply making the aluminum unibody only available to the Pro version of the MacBooks. It seems interesting because Apple who was advertising the white MacBooks as last year’s models soon to be diminished are now its only MacBook product.
What are your thoughts? Should only the MacBook Pro name be on the aluminum unibodies?

I think calling a laptop a “PRO” model when it has an 18 month old mid range GPU and no ExpressCard slot is an embarrassment.

I agree… the only upgrade you can get is on the 15 inch or 17 inch to the 9400m and the 9600m GT
