OMG guys come on keep your pants on. it's clearly a fake can't you tell the way the light shines that light had to be photoshoped. and someone could have easily made up some fake invitations and sent them out to Engadget. come on guys there has been so many of these already we should learn by now 
but seriously I hope it's more then just the macbooks. I'll be quite sad if there is no MBP at this event.

Actually my friend and I were just talking about that today. If the rumors are true and the new MacBooks are to sport an Nvidia chip, why would you buy a Mini? All you have to do is plug a monitor into your MacBook and your have a desktop machine that would be way better than the Mini. You'd have a great desktop and a portable for on the go. If they put a dedicated graphics card in the MacBook then I think the Mini is dead. I see no reason to put a dedicated graphics card in the Mini. They'd cannibalize their iMac/MacBook sales.
I think the Mini will just go away with no mention by Apple. Kind of like the iPod Hi-Fi. Now you see it, now you don't. The Mini was supposed to be a super cheap Mac for people that wanted to make the switch but didn't want to invest a grand in a new platform that they may not like. So it was a way of getting PC users to switch for as little cash as possible. And sure, you could get your feet wet for $499. That's a good price. But then they went Intel and the price went up to $599. Now add an Nvidia card, $699? Suddenly, that "under $500 Mac" isn't so cheap any more. In fact, it's not that much cheaper than the supposed new $800 MacBook. And we all know Apple loves selling MacBooks.
Yes my friend, I think the days of the Mini are numbered.
Wow
This is going to be really, really cool.
Dang, my stupid 1st Gen MBP is still going strong.
Well, actually the down arrow key fell off. And my hard drive is kinda full. I could take my computer to the Genius bar this weekend + clean off the drive.
But it probably makes more sense to buy a new notebook, right?

Well duh, of course. The new one will be able to jump rope, bring the stock market back to 14,000 and buy up all the foreclosed homes. Where the heck have you been??? Apple's products can single-handedly save the entire economy!!!
Hahaha, it makes me so relieved to see this after the months of speculation.
Also, I can now get a new laptop.

Excited Long Time Lurker
After lurking around these forums for quite some time, I wanted to finally register and post my excitement! I am a first gen Mac Book Pro (Intel) buyer and I am definitely ready for an upgrade. I hope the quality of these are much better than my first gen Intel, which has had numerous problems.
I hope the new notebooks are released immeadiately!

Not an exageration. The iPod saved the music industry.
