Well the online store shows macbooks shipping in 24 hours. So maybe that rumor was correct a couple weeks ago about the macbooks shipping. Maybe they have been staged with Apple distributors just waiting for uncle Steve to give the word.

Those are the current Macbooks. That is not an indication of the macbooks that will be released tomorrow. It may be longer than 24 hours to ship.

I just made $750 on eBay with my one-year-old white base model MacBook. It kept a lot of its value, I'm really surprised. I need that new Mac, Steven. Don't you toy with me anymore.

I disagree with your opinion. Thanks for the response.

In my opinion you make excessive use of the first-person singular personal pronoun. However one understands if ones opinion is not agreeable.

I find it wonderful that people take the time to use some of the less common grammatical elements of the English language. It brings a little class to the web :D

Some consider one to be overly formal, and avoid it. However, in doing so, they encounter problems only resolvable by awkward phrasings or a significant drop in formality.

Great! You should evangelize that to naysayers that complain that Apple's Macs are "Overpriced". There's a reason for their higher prices, quality retains a higher resale value.:)

In that case you should know that "ones opinion" should be written "one's opinion."

Good god, I can't wait for tomorrow, when we can discuss something real for a change. :cool:

Colored macbooks?!

More than likely just placeholders.

AppleInsider readers are cautioned not to read into this information too deeply. While the inventory place holders are likely legitimate, they're also likely the result of speculation on the part of Best Buy management and not representative of any advanced information passed on by Apple.

Color marking may actually have something to do with labels more than it does actually colored Laptops. I am not sure why Apple would release a Yellow Macbook as a top end model.

don't forget engadget but gizmodo will be better because brian lam knows how to work his camera

I dont trust gizmodo, they might turn off the macs and unplug the demos/projecter and mess everything up.

They are filled with bunch of young, 18-24 year old wanna be techs that dont deserve to be invited to ANY tech event ever again,
