Apple Invites Media to 'Notebook' Event October 14th

[Adjei]

I think Apple is the only company who people get this excited about their products.

so what processors are we looking at for the macbook chaps

 

[Fidgetyrat]

So glad I didn't jump on the abysmal update in February.

I can finally retire this TiBook!

I was hoping for a more generic new product teaser. Not them saying its ONLY a notebook update.

Yawn

why? so you could be disappointed when it is just notebooks ?

 

[aznguyen316]

lol with all the rumors, the date has been spot on. Well let's see what these new notebooks look like. I won't be getting one as I just purchased a used MB but def curious to see what these new ones will be packing. I am in the market for a iPT and Mac Mini, but I don't know if a new mini will be introduced.

 

[sjc83]

Wow, this is really fantastic news.

 

[xgfx]

I.. can breathe again. This feels strange, not being so annoyed at waiting. Seems like a stroll in the park now, can just quietly wait til they're released.

Yes, I'm disappointed that iPod Socks probably won't be updated...again.

Yawn

Apple: "All new, revolutionary, game-changing laptop computers!"
Rimm: "We have a touch screen phone now."
Apple: "Do you want a cookie?"

I had to laugh out loud after reading this!!!

 

[corinhorn]

There's no folding - it's just the screen part and the keyboard is touch screen.

This makes me wonder.

Gag, the thought of a frickin touch screen keyboard on a Mac would make me not buy it. Touchscreen keyboards are so much slower to type than an actual keyboard with tactile feedback.

 

[marbles]

about time ....

...Yes ! new notebook's , brilliant, ...one product down one to go ...


..where's my new Mini

 

[mackarena]

*grabs everyone in close proximity and hugs them wildly whilst doing unique and obscure victory dance!*

Yay....i am about to purchase my first macbook.....i wonder if they are aluminium whether the apple logo will light up in different colours...?

 

[gusious]

So it's true... New laptops....

 

[polaris20]

Who cares about Notebooks. Where the new Mini?
Where's the revolutionary new product?
Yet another rehash, redesign, updated "look" to existing notebooks. Yawn

SO WHAT.

We need something really different.

• Multi-touch tablet PC.
• Device sized between iPhone and laptop.
• AppleTV/Mini replacement with Blu-Ray, HD record, competitive pricing.

Who cares? How about a huge percentage of the computer-buying public? Let's look at your list:

1. Tablet PC. Tablets aren't that big of a market for mainstream, let alone Apple.
2. The market is already saturated with low cost, low margin netbooks. Again, not a huge money maker.
3. Might happen, now that the Blu Ray/HD-DVD war is over.

More important... Are the Macbook chaps ass-less ???

That's a legitimate complaint.

(not being sarcastic)

I've been waiting for the notebook update, but if you've been waiting for a Mini, etc., I guess you'll have to hold out even longer. I feel your pain. I'm still psyched about my upcoming new MBP, though.

Wow what's your problem?

Here's a comparison with the current MacBooks. Top shot is the invitation, bottom is the Black MacBook. Looks like exactly the same ratio screen and Apple Logo, so I think this is the 13" MacBook (or 13" MacBook Pro?) in this invitation.

[denm316]

With Apple's recent sub-par quality control I am sure these laptops will loaded with bugs and issues.

 

[juststranded]

Came across this on tinypic. It'd be sweet if they had this basic look to them.

 

[corinhorn]

Amen. I swear my co-worker was going to have an infarction if he didn't hear official news of Apple laptop updates.

 

[chedda]

Should Help ?

double posted in this torrent of posts shux

 

[Adjei]

I just hope Apple don't fall flat on Mac updates like they've done recently...

Musts (for me - at the high end...)
- Keep the matte display option, very important that one...
- Blu-ray. Come on Apple... lol
- Up to 8GB RAM would be nice.
- SSD bto.
- Advanced trackpad
- HDMI port
- 9700M GTS - But I feel Apple will end up with a 9600M GT

Would like
- Mobile quad-core would be a great suprise, an Apple first given their 'special' ties with Intel. But I won't be holding out for it. You never know...
- Biometric (finger print) scanner would be also nice, but it's in another of those "Apple stubbonly won't do" pots...

Please no more of these useless gimmicks.

 

[DaBrain]

lmao, as if they could have made it more clear....

QUESTION:

I need a new notebook, should I buy now or wait (that was a joke).

Now!

 

[hamzab]

Wooowwwwww......So thin!
