17'' MacBook Pro at NAB?

hmm, seems odd. Im going with the theory that they havent got anything ready in time, or are just holding out till WWDC. OR they plan on showing something off at the booth. probably not, but then again, this is Apple.

They are parking a bulletproof plexiglass trailer in their booths so that devotees may worship His Steveness. :cool:

I can't see Apple jumping into Pro video cameras... just wouldn't work.

I believe the last three years for the releases of FCP 4, FCP HD (4.5), and Final Cut Studio, they held events Sunday night. Not a keynote, but more of an industry gathering.

And Monday my boss and I both received e-mails to a special reception for educational users of FCP. (Our community college has been offering FCP courses (now FC Studio) since 2002)

Here's the invite, sans RSVP link...

I did not read the entire thread (annoying I know), but maybe the reasoning for no official press conference is that NAB is a professional event and Apple has no professional offering right now, but will instead be releasing the MacBook (iBook) at the event mentioned in the invite above. After all, the invite does mention education and the i/MacBook is aimed for that market.

This is a rumor site so why not speculate and read into and connect dots like this? :)
 
Apple Has Plenty Of Professional Offerings For NAB

No. No. No El Aarono. The reason Apple is at NAB is specifically because they DO have Professional Offerings - Final Cut Studio and the 15" MacBook Pro plus the Quad PPC G5, one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, desktops available today. What is disconcerting is that Apple is not having a press conference to discuss any of this nor to introduce the 17" MBP.

This is not a place to discuss the new iBook/MacBook.

You are connecting dots that don't exist sir.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant no NEW professional products to announce, meaning perhaps the 17" MBP isn't ready after all, or is being held back for some reason.

I agree with you there.

Well someone's got to do it! This is a rumor site isn't it? ;)

Perhaps there was no announcement today because the only thing currently ready is the i/MacBook, and at a pro event press conference this would just be out of place compared to offerings from competitors at the press conference. Instead they could have a separate event on Monday (as indicated by the invite) to announce them because they are long overdue. What better way to help your education customers than with speedy new laptops? Feel free to disagree. I have no insider information whatsoever. Like I said, I didn't even read the entire thread!
 
My feeling is that whatever is released as part of the uk store going down - it is going to be little.

Personally i'm after a new smaller isight to be released - its looking a little tired on there now.

Maybe a small improvement to Powermac / ipod ?

But what does this mean? maybe they are releasing a new mouse mat? A leather one that they didn't release until they got it just right. And it will be worth every penny of the $120 they charge. Oh, the excitement and then the disappointment... it is unbearable.

Well you'll see in 1,5 hours... Apple Store Education Finland is opened just few days ago without any notifications so far, and mayde they just tested the website in there... It wasn't shown on the "regular" apple store web site at the same time.
