Apple Document Confirms MacBook/MacBook Pro (Late 2008)

[MacRumors]

Apple has published a support document (PDF) specifically for the "MacBook/MacBook Pro (Late 2008)" models. Besides the name, the document is not especially revealing. It appears to be a service document when replacing the display on the new MacBooks.

Documentation is the best. Hopefully we can upgrade more hardware ourselves.

Very strange for them to release a support document without releasing the actual computers though

Could this be called the "Most Leaked" Apple event in history?

Anyways... AWESOME!

Getting sloppy

 

[ReEIsS]

That was different!😀

so long as safari is snappier, i'll be happy

How could one find this? Guessing URLs?

 

[Cloudane]

And here was me thinking they were only releasing new Mac Minis 😉

 

[Auzburner]

Neat, a little more confirmation can never hurt.

I think Apple have stopped caring about product leaks.

Does this mean no MB Air, iMac, Mac mini?

 

[gr8bob]

So the next AirPort card will be placed in the display assembly? 😕

No more standard-sized miniPCI-E AirPort cards? 🙄

I can read about the support for my new laptop before I even get it! Woohoo (!)

in the article it said apple is releasing macbook/pro at a media event on october 14th

does that mean they will acutally be releasing and presenting, or just presenting on that day?

Probably some random guy browse through apple website 24 hr a day...

If they're using the same manual, does it mean that the casings for the MB and MBP are going to be similar???

No MacBook Air (Late 2008)?

Anyway, I get the feeling that either Apple is sloppy or Apple is purposely doing this to cover up something bigger.

We don't know. It is usually a few days or a week before the event that the product actually starts arriving at stores and such, but a support document suggests that they'll be available quite soon after the event.

Sold my macbook pro today.... if I don't like what they show us on tuesday I'll buy the same machine I had with discount !

I guess it's time to sell now, prices will plunge very soon !!

Airport in the lid

Does this mean the airport card is going behind the display?

possibly reinforcing the rumor of a 2 tone plastic lided macbook, better wireless reception with a plastic lid?

No more standard-sized miniPCI-E AirPort cards? 🙄

I noticed that after reading the two pages. It's getting crazy to work inside theses things.

 

[SchalaZeal]

Let the flood of information begin.

...or continue? At any rate. Hopefully the best is saved for last (i.e. the actual keynote).

 

[theowne]

I thought the big invitation with "NEW NOTEBOOKS" plastered on it already confirmed this.

they probably mean plugging the arial into the lid. often the arials are in the lid, and adaptor is in the body
