[rockos]

sorry if it has been posted before...but was just on apple.com and you can not order a blackbook...just the white macbook with either core speed...


wonder how long till release now

[robbieduncan]

Still seems to be on the UK store. I can confirm it's not on the US store for me too...

[Peace]

I can see and order the Blackbook right now from Apple's online store.

[Eidorian]

BlackBooks on sale and shipping within 24 hours here in the US.

[robbieduncan]

Wow it's back. Honestly it wasn't there 2 minutes ago :confused:

[Peace]

Apple's having some web problems right now. It's the same with the 24" 2.8GHz iMac.

The cube is also gone.

[SnowLeopard2008]

Yea, I can confirm the black macbooks aren't there. Screen below.

EDIT: Just checked again and now its back. But the macbook pros are gone.

[*Sandy*]

The site has been doing this all day Steve is messing with our minds :)

[Dagless]

Blackbook?

[Elven]

No Quad Core iMac with 30' screen blu-ray and 4870x2 graphics :(

[iParis]

Are there normally only two options for the Macbook Pro?
I thought it was three but I only see two.

[EDIT] Never mind, I guess I also found a bug, when I clicked on MacBook Pro there were only two options, then a minute later I refreshed the page and the middle one was back. [EDIT]

[brendanspah764]

Can someone tell me how to post an image of websites like you guys are doing? then I can show this weird stuff that has happened to me.

False Alarm: I relized I was on Shop iPod.

Well I don't know if you're running OS X or Windows, so I'll just tell you how to screen shot on Windows.
If you're on a laptop hold down hit Fn+Prtscrn
If you're on a desktop just hit the Print Screen key.
Next open up Paint and hit Ctrl+v or right click and paste
Then save the image.
And wa la!

Lol, I just went to the MacBook and MacBook Pro sections and it said that none of them are available.

[X3n0 AcId]

working fine at my end...

[donga]

maybe this is foreshadowing of macbooks to come...

[Saturn1217]

I'm getting the glitches too. If you keep switching back and forth between the different mac lines every once in a while models will be missing and then you click back 2 seconds later and everything is back to normal.

Have gliches like this happened on the apple store before? It seems like kind of a big error seeing as anyone who wants to order a mac online could potentially run into it.

I know I'm just being hopeful and it is probably nothing but could this possibly mean they've made changes in preparation for new products :D:D:D

[tallestof4]

Has anyone else thought about the possibility that apple is updating there site with new macbook pics that wont go online for awhile but are just designing the page. Maby apple is gonna release the new macbooks at midnight:eek:

Edit: ohh great. now there is gonna be a whole new thread about how apple is releasing the macbook at midnight. LMAO

[Dr. JM]

I'm getting the same intresting glitches.

[svndmvn]

no glitches here, loving the new products though, blackbook still missing..weird

[LewisBeechey]

I don't see any glitches

[cdbob]

I don't have that view, why does yours have the new stuff on it?

[svndmvn]

I don't have that view, why does yours have the new stuff on it?

cause it's kinda fake,sorry,i'm afraid we won't see anything new before Tuesday or even Oct 14th,and even then, maybe just macbooks or pros,nothing too special
PS it's all just a glitch:)

[Aperture]

I don't have that view, why does yours have the new stuff on it?

I hope you're joking? :)

Edit: Too late

[cdbob]

I hope you're joking? :)

Edit: Too late

I was :D

[hogfaninga]

I was :D

Now you say it was a joke. :)

[Beric]

They're discontinuing the overpriced Blackbook!

I hope... :rolleyes:

[iGary]

Only see two choices on my end.

[hogfaninga]

Only see two choices on my end.

All three on mine. It is just a glitch. I love to see people overreact. It is funny.

[Beric]

I went just to my online college store on Apple.com. It's up.

[svndmvn]

seriously,they are discontinuing it,at least for a while,I don't remember this kind of glitches in the past,so i'm afraid they're testing the servers and the whole website thing..
I was afraid with the introduction of aluminum they'd wanna ditch the black option,considered too pricy if anodized(??)and maybe re-introduce it with the next update
The pismo rumours claming a hybrid between aluminum and plastic are also weird
still,I wonder why do it on a sunday??
and all macbooks have a 24 hour shipment right now,so the update isn't coming this Tuesday I guess, WHY TODAY??
Edit: oh,wait,what if the next blackbook will actually be a 13.3 or 14" MacBook Pro? Aluminum,new Pismo style or whatever, with dedicated Graphics,matte option,backlit keyboard?
kinda like the old powerbooks, 12"
all that for 1499 or 1599?would be kinda "aggressive"

[iGary]

All three on mine. It is just a glitch. I love to see people overreact. It is funny.

Who's overreacting? :confused:

Right. They definitely were doing something. It wasn't just a glitch. The question is WHAT they were doing, and WHY they were doing it on a Sunday, which everyone always has off.

[Vulcan]

nor any powerbook G5! :mad:

Coming October 14th...

[hogfaninga]

Who's overreacting? :confused:

Maybe bad choice of word. It is still funny. You posted in 3 separate threads about it. I think that is funny. If it is that important how about a toll free call to Apple? They will tell you what I said. Just a glitch. It has happened many times in the past.

[MLDMB41]

All 3 MBs are available for me. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Everything seems to be back in order now. All there's left to discuss is that which the select few saw. ;)

[MLDMB41]

Oh, well. Could mean something, could mean nothing. We'll know when we know. What I do know is that I need to close the Apple.com window before I am tempted to just go for it and buy the blackbook. It's faaaar to easy to click that "Add to cart" button. LOL.

just close it!! we're all with you, i have not spent on apple products since Jul 11th

[Drumjim85]

i don't think its anything... the exact same kinda thing happened about a month back... (i even made a thread about it :o)

Close the window and step away slowly...

[MLDMB41]

Window closed. Crisis averted. Thanks for the support, you guys!

[iwuzbord]

no, sadly this isnt a sign of it. the issue has been occuring with the macmini and macpro and mba, and everything. it would be kinda awkward if apple just randomly decided to revamp their entire line though.

but thank goodness it isnt happening to the ipods...:rolleyes: (sarcasm)

[Phrasikleia]

I think you're on to something there. In one fell swoop, they're going to discontinue everything and blindside us all with completely new product lines. They'll all be made of recycled chewing gum and will glow in the dark.

[maximumsportz]

I just looked in the store and now they only offer 2 macbook builds.

160gb white and the 250gb black... hmmmm something is fishy.

Edited: HA... the 3 builds are back.. that's weird... glitches.

I hope they don't discontinue almost everything and only keep selling iPods and iPhones...
