Apple Event on Thursday May 18th, 2006?

Well, you'd need 2 diffenernt mainboards then, one for integrated and one for dedicated graphics. But you can always put 2GB of RAM in there, so the 64MB the graphic takes should not hurt too much. The black one looks sexy indeed. Kinda like a mix of Thinkpads and the powerbooks...

Thats another downer. I really wanted anything but white:D . blue black red grey silver may be even green:eek: but not a white. But now itseems I`ll have to get a white again
 
Battery life is mentioned:

MacBook offers up to 6 hours of battery life. (2.5 hours of DVD playback, 3.5 hours with wireless turned on). Here’s how to squeeze out every last second of battery power when you need it.
 
If the MacBook was announced today, what do you think the briefing on Thursday could be about?

The briefing is, and always was, about the opening of the store the following morning. It was never anything else, it never pretended to be anything else, it even said in the publicity that this is what it was about. Only the obsession with MacBooks coming out tomorrow meant anyone considered it might be about anything else.

BTW, I'm predicting MacBooks today, maybe this morning, perhaps sooner.

It was a joke. ;P

I'm surprised they didn't accompany this release with a Stevenote. Oh well.

Definitely no chance of new iPod yet right?

i'm hoping my friend is right about this -
i have a friend who works for nbc and they are working with apple on something right now..
he got an email yesterday saying to hold off buying anything for a few weeks because they would be releasing new products in the near future. nothing specific though.

now, usually my friend is full of crap, but because of the release this morning i'm hoping he is right about the ipod being released in the next two weeks also. my second ipod was stolen last week so i bought a new one, but if he's right it'll be worth the restocking fee to return it and get the newer one in a few weeks. he mentioned something about a touch screen which sounded pretty cool.
 
my ipod photo died so i too will be intrested in a new ipod. i really hope it is released tomorow. :D

I had thought that Apple ran into some problems with the full-screen video ipod, and hence it would be delayed until the Xmas season.

btw - do any of you know if the return policy would still be the same even if the released a new ipod?

Retailers can't change the return policy on you AFTER you purchased it. If you bought an iPod with a 30 day no questions asked return policy and a new one came out - they can't suddenly tell you 'tough beans' just because the new one came out.

You're safe, at least in that regard. The real risk is that you purchase an iPod, and a new one comes out 31 days after you bought a new one with a 30 day money back guarantee! :D
 
People who return opened products to upgrade to a newer one is the reason of high prices.

I hear to many people on this board talk about returning something for this or that.. You wanted it at the time you paid for it right? nothing is wrong with it? keep it!

Don't forget about Blueray ...

... maybe an option at the store for any LAPTOP :eek: :eek: :eek:

Sony just anounced their first laptop with BR.


Maybe an external but probably NOT.

Its strange, it seems that a few months after I outline the ultimate harded modular laptop on Spymac Apple came out with the user upgradable iMac ...

... and has now done much of the same for the laptops ...

... for me the ULTIMATE MACchine would be a laptop that has a LOCKABLE TRANSPERANT ALUMINUM shell :eek:

OH and the OS needs BADLY real security, hole free 1MB digital signatures that are integrated with the Email :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
so that meeting was supposed to be held today right? Do you think we will hear anything about it tonight? Or will that wait until tomorrow morning?
