Apple Invites Media to 'Notebook' Event October 14th

They remained pretty mysterious this time around. I'm excited. I think therell be some things completely unexpected.
 
I saw a guy walking down the street yesterday with a newly purchased MacBook. I didn't know if I should feel bad for him or point and laugh....

Either way, sucks to be him!
 
I know Best Buy isn't always reliable but she has never steered me wrong in the past and she won't say anything if she doesn't know for sure. She stated like with most new apple products they won't get them in the store (where I live anyway) until anywhere from a couple of days to a week after the release which is fine with me because I plan on purchasing mine through apple using the good ol student discount!

Which sounds good for MBPs going for 1799, since the article in that said the macbooks would retail for 799 said 1799 for the pros. Great comfirmation, if we can call it that.

Good I want to see these now, curse time and its linear function.

You might have raised your karma by telling him to check when new MacBooks are to be released before he unpacks the one he bought.

I went to FutureShop (Best Buy) in the afternoon and I aborted 3 Macbook sales by telling the buyers that new products are coming out on Wednesday. The salesman was really pissed.

I've raised my Karma ;)

It kind of impressed me how Macbooks still sell like hot cakes...
 
considering the size of the trackpad on the Macbook and the size of the trackpad on the estimated Macbook Alu case part foto I think the Macbook Alu wiil have a bit more of screen...14"?:D

is there anybody who noticed it?

The only person you should feel bad for or laugh at is anyone on this forum (including you) that live to continually upgrade their Apple toys every time a new model is released.
All this forum is about is, "I GOTTA HAVE PENRYN", "I GOTTA HAVE MERMOM", " I GOTTA HAVE NEHALEM" etc....

That guy you saw is probably the most sensible person when it comes to buying products, he probably buys what he NEEDS rather than what he's "GOTTA HAVE".

Although I stand by my above statement I understand what you mean. I've seen people buying brand new Macs at the Apple store just days before Macworld and they may be just the people that don't look back after their purchase. They have no idea they just bought the last Mac before an update.

'I GOTTA HAVE'... nothing..
I need the best of the best MBP there is for what I'm doing with it, so don't judge everyone and say we're update-addicted.

Ok, maybe I'm update-addicted. problem? :rolleyes:

hehe

Wow, I didn't have to even mention names. It's interesting you are so defensive about it. Yeah, you're right, you are an upgrade addict. What are you doing that the current MBP CAN'T do for you? Nothing. :p

So what?
What's wrong in waiting one month to have the new model with a new design?
Of course we know that the currents models are great, but when it comes in investing a grand or 2 for something, we like it to be the best one there.

In regards to the student discount, if you go through the Apple online website and try to get a discount and you've used yours for for the year, will it tell you?
 
doesn't anyone remember buying the first mac?was everyone a MR member back then? I discovered Apple products in an Apple store in NYC,all I knew back then was Macs didn't exactly offer all a Windows PC could,I also wanted an iPod back in 03, but the shop was out and I had to buy a 20GB Philips that crapped on me something like 2 years later when I had to charge it every half an hour,so I got a Macbook,after using one for a few days in an Apple store,without going on every possible rumor site,actually none, and an iPod Nano that's been faithful to me ever since..I sold the Mac less than a year later,waiting for aluminum updates,also cause I was going back to the States where everything is 30% cheaper..was..it's more like 50%now..I would never laugh at anyone for buying something to be updated in a few days,it's a lot sadder to sell what you have hopin there's something better on the way...by the way, there have been something like 2 useless updates to the macbooks since I sold mine, disappointing for almost everyone..so I had to buy a Powermac to take my PCs place and an iPhone 3g as well..
sorry about the long post but I had to take it off my chest

don't think so.
I think it's going to be a notbook-event-only, pure as the word says.

I don't think they will have enough to talk about if they don't introduce software. What would the "Let's Rock" event have been without the new iTunes? I'm just posting what I saw on macsoda and it makes sense to me.
