with the new intel cpu comming out...i hope they don't just stick them only to mb pro... i've been waiting to buy a new mb...waiting until november sucks... but if we see just a minor cpu update (like 2,16GHz becoming the new end of the line) and then 5 or 6months later a big boost...THAT WOULD REALLY SUCK!!!
i don't want to buy a new laptop that becomes OLD 5 months later! Steve, i'm counting on you, don't let me down!
(i only wish those new Intel Penryn become part of mb and mb pro imediately)
I was hoping that apple would update the macbooks with the launch of leopard. That way i would have been able to buy a new, updated macbook with leopard installed and get a free ipod nano, as part of the uk student offer. But the student offer is finishing on the 30th october 🙁 so looks like im gonna miss out on the free ipod nano cos i aint gonna buy a macbook which is so close to the end of it's cycle. SO THIS NEXT MACBOOK UPDATE BETTER BE WORTH THE WAIT!
I think this student offer was because they wanted to sell as many "old" macbooks as possible before they come out with the new mb. So it would be not a coincidence that this offer is finishing on the 30th october, because maybe they'll announce the new mb-s arriving on the first of november.
I'm only guessing, but I hope my guesses are right🙂 It seems reasonable though.
I agree. Though I think it's quite likely that the CPU's won't be upgraded very much. I only hope that they change that old graphic chip, and put an aluminium on the mb.
I think that Penryn will surely not come out in the new mb-s. It would be too early.
I just received my MB White 2.16GHz/120GB which I ordered on Sunday, but I guess after reading this lot, I'll return it unopened. What pain, having it here, and not opening it! 🙁
In any case, Leopard's not in the box (I ordered it from PC World with their £40 discount).
I have a question! i am going to buy imac in couple of days and if its pre installed with tiger n they give me leopard dvd to upgrade it, what will happen if i choose erase and install at the time of installation of leopard? after clean install, how can i get other applications like ilife which will be pre installed on tiger? will i get ilife cd also or i have to purchase it separately?
Refer to the quote by stermania, that's a good news. To double confirm that, how many of you guys bought MBP recently with Leopard pre-installed? I really don't like to have 'drop-in' dvd in my purchase.
