Sadly, there have been several front page articles on this on MacRumors for the past month or two.Arrrggghhh..Noooo... I just bought a Macbook today, well yesterday actually (Sunday.) Of course I drove 2 1/2 hours to get it only to read this tonight. Please tell me I'll be able to call Apple and exchange my Macbook for a new one assuming they actually do release new ones.
It pays to be a somewhat active member and look at what's on the front page.
I'm waiting to get the best value!
UHG! I can't stand the pressure anymore!
I really don't care what's updated, I just want to be able to finally get my Macbook (Although, some nice upgrades would be nice of course).
Same, I'm hoping they match the US and CAD prices, or at least drop the CAD prices somewhat. Again, they did with Leopard.
Especially since the CAD has passed the USD that would be really nice. Gettin tired of being ripped off up here
stop being mean.
The other guy - don't worry... apple has an exchange policy. 14 days i think it is no questions re-imbursement or exchange.
That didn't seem like a "mean" response, IMHO, just an honest one. Heck, the Buyer's Guide says...
Buy only if you need it - Approaching the end of a cycle.
I personally prefer the white plastic designs, as compared to the newer aluminum designs. So, if there is an aluminum MacBook released, then I'll be especially glad that I still have a sleek, stylish white MacBook. But I would love an LCD screen and a slimmer profile. Besides, Apple updates are just exciting!
MacBook Pro with faster processor
Was told that MacBook Pro may be upgraded with a faster processor from its current. Or was that a miscommunication? Or is that for the Mac Pros?
I am just holding back buying the 17 inch just in case it does happen within couple of months.
Help anyone..?

yeh sorry i didn't mean 'mean'.. lol. i was merely stating he's probs a noob and probs wants to get some money back or at least the best product available at the time. i feel for him...
I was aware it was near the end of the cycle but I didn't think they would wait until 3-4 days after Leopard came out to announce an update. I really needed it and this was the perfect weekend for me to go get it. Not blaming apple but figured it would be January before the update. I'm actually glad that they did upgrade, just wish I hadn't been off by two days. If nothing else I'll just call in sick and go back and exchange it. I'll just have to pay a penalty of 10% possibly, but hopefully not.
I have Pismo powerbook that is 7 years old, and just couldn't wait any longer. It still runs great but definitely long in the tooth.

just give your wife the old mackbook and you get the newoneI'll buy at least one, to replace my wife's three year-old iBook. I might even buy another, to replace my year-old MacBook, depending on how significant of an update it is.
If I hadn't used my MacBook for countless hours over the past two months, I'd be very bitter about buying it. But, I don't really need a better GPU, just want one; I don't do anything with 3D. As for the 4GB RAM ... by the time I need it, it'll be time to get a new machine.
So I'm only a LITTLE bitter.
Hope the updates fulfill the needs of everyone waiting.

MacBook != MacBook Pro
November: MacBook (Napa) -> MacBook (Santa Rosa)
January: MacBook Pro (Santa Rosa + Merom Refresh) -> MacBook Pro (Santa Rosa + Penryn)

haha...yeah that would make no sense to update tomorrow* then have another update in 2 months.
Yesssss!
Finally I can be one of those to say that it'll be my birthday on Tuesday. I hope Steve makes it a good one.
