- damonic, on 10/10/2007, -5/+141DON'T TASE ME BRO!!!
- avantgardener, on 10/10/2007, -2/+72Agreed, after their accurate call on the new iPod lineup...I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this one!
- uselessexpert, on 10/10/2007, -5/+62Man, the time for me to jump on the Mac band wagon seems more and more realistic every day!
- Carsonauto, on 10/10/2007, -9/+65I like the aluminum look. The new iMac is GORGEOUS.
- g33kfu, on 10/10/2007, -2/+36LEAVE STEVE JOBS ALOOONEEE!!! WAAAAAHHH!
- NeoRicen, on 10/10/2007, -1/+35Makes complete sense. Apple has been phasing out their white plastic products and replacing them with Aluminum silver products.
A move I first hated but now love (thanks to my new iMac).
The new iMac and iPod classics were an indication to me that any MacBook revision would result in Aluminum Black and Silver designs.
Now I'm going to hold off on a MacBook purchase and see how this rumour turns out. Here's hoping for a repeal on the Black Tax. - llsethj, on 10/10/2007, -5/+36Seems to be the new SOURCE
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24Below $1000? I guess you can sleep in that morning.
- NeoRicen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22No one spells Nuclear Nucular, they just pronounce it that way. Aluminum is both pronounced and spelt Aluminum and Aluminium depending where you are. Aluminum isn't an idiot pronouncing Aluminium, it's just an alternative spelling. Hell Safari is giving me spelling errors for Aluminium.
- KevinLiu, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22Multitouch touchpad?
- repmekevets, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19apparently you don't know the difference between a sarcastic remark and a serious one.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21What a funny name for a friend... Reply... haha!
- airiox, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20If they release this macbook and its priced below 1,000 I'll be at the apple store the morning of to preorder.
- fishbert, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21'Reply' is your friend
- habbofresh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16actually it was last tuesday. but since you missed it, all history of it happening is being withheld from you.
- macpro2006, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13less then $800!!!!! are you kidding me. When pigs fly.
- fLUx1337, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16*****.....no chance I'm buying a MacBook now then...
HOPEFULLY these are being released at the same time as Leopard, as thats what I was waiting for...
But it seems this is one of those products which if they announce now, to be released when leopard ships......their macbook sales will drop! So it will be released and start shipping the same week me thinks.
Damn apple, I hate how they announce stuff, why can't they just tell everyone in advance, because these roumors go around like this, and if it isn't true, people will just keep waiting, thus lowering the amount of sales.... - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Then it gets tacky.
- MacEnvy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13The iMac is not intended for graphic design. If you need that level of accuracy, get a good digital CRT or a (very expensive) high-quality LCD.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I'm pretty sure you'll get it either way.
- synaesthesia, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I recommend reading this comment in the voice of Grandpa Simpson for maximum comedic effect.
- abid786, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10It's called the Apple section.
- BrendanM14, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I have been waiting since August to buy my first Mac (white macbook) since my Performa 6110. I figured I might as well wait until October for Leopard.....Now it looks like i have to wait more....DAMN YOU APPLE!!! I just want to get my friggin Macbook already! Can't you see my $$$$ is burning a hole in my pocket!!!!
- habbofresh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8and no more palm stains on the plastic.
- TeebZ, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Come on now, we all now that both spellings are fine, we've been over this before.
Although I must say I prefer the more international "Aluminium". - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I want that.
- themastersb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I was just about to buy a regular macbook. Good thing I didn't, I'm waiting for leopard anyways.
- miniboss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8It's not a stretch to expecct an aluminum Macbook since the Macbook is the last product to be sporting white still. But what I really want is a better video card option. I love my Macbook but the video card is probably the only weakpoint of this machine.
- samuelcotterall, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9I'm a big fan of the white Macs, but I get the impression that Apple are trying to shake off their consumer image and making everything Pro, just some things more Pro than others.
Although it makes even the low end Macs look more appealing to new users, I wonder how many people are replacing their G5 PowerMacs and G4 PowerBooks with Intel iMacs and MacBooks. - sm4llphry, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I have been waiting for a reason to get rid of my clunky 17" dell for something lighter and smaller. I have also wanted a macbook. I can't wait to see them in the stores!
- applebyte, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9Digg really needs a rumor section.
- superjanna, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7To make it super-duper thin. Apple's even patented funky ducking technology for things like usb or firewire connections to allow for a ridiculously thin notebook...
- msgyrd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Most people will be by now, the intel switch was 2 years ago, they're starting to age anyways, and things are becoming more and more optimized for intel. PPC still works, but using my 1Ghz G4 side by side with my Core2 Duo is like night and day.
- DanH, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7there's this new thing called the internet...
- fishbert, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6poor me ... fat and helpless. =(
- alanjsk, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9I have heard they will not have CD drives, but are we ready for that?
- sp1keNARF, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6it's not just the color that's changing, it's the whole package... there will undoubtedly be some extra cool features besides the just way the computer looks
- NeoRicen, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8I wouldn't say pathetically poor. I own one and have no need for calibration and the quality IMO FAR surpasses the old iMac (of which I owned one too). They're much brighter and I can see more detail in my photos. I love the glossy too, even though I have a fluorescent light behind me and I'm next to a window it doesn't cause me any problems.
- Protoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5The one thing that seriously needs to be upgraded in the Macbook is the video card, and AFAIK, Santa Rosa will give it a much better card.
- Protoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5She could trade it in if it was within 14 or so days.
- msgyrd, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/aluminium
The alternate spelling, Aluminum, is the SECOND word on the wiki page and the first alternate spelling in the dictionary. If you're going to be a nitpicking jackass, at least crawl out from beneath the rock you've been living under for the last century. - samdu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5If it's a cosmetic change, I don't think there's a problem with changing the consumer line before the pro line.
- dragon76, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5If you are always waiting for The Next Big Thing you'll be waiting forever. I personally don't see an update to Apple's consumer Macs until Jan mainly because it is not in Apple's upgrade cycle but if they think they can sell a lot of portables for the holidays, it could happen.
- arjung, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5i would buy it without a dvd drive if the harddrive was bigger. just rip movies onto your hard drive for plane rides and use an external when you are at home.
maybe because i dont use my macbook for work, but i think it would be worth the weight/size drop. - rowlodge, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8my sister bought one of those imacs just before the new things came out, like apple does this for laughs.
- proliance, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5"That's not a hair question."
- mollerade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5 = definite maybe.
- samdu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5"couldn't"
