Apple Notebook Updates on October 14th? 120GB MacBook Air HDD?

The Tall One said:
Is it just me or does the less interesting laptops get more attention with updates these days than the desktop mac. Back in the day, there used to be many different Mac desktops to choose from... now its the MacPro or the iMac.

I need a new desktop mac with high end processing ability, something that can render HDV well, and has an excellent graphics card with the power to back it up.

Is it seriously too much to ask for a MacPro revision? I mean, come on... the macbook and the macbook pro have had their fun in the sun, lots of updates, plenty of use... but as a professional in need of a super computer, I feel neglected by Apple who use to be the leader in prosumer video editing.

There is no new technology to put into the Mac Pro. You will need to wait until January or buy the current model.

You are asking Apple to do something which is impossible. All other companies are exactly the same.

FINALLY!??!?! I'm glad there are actually starting to be speculated dates. October 14th is OK...but I'd prefer earlier...Like last Tuesday in September so I'd have it in time for my B-day. Or on my B-day would be good too (Oct 7th ;))

Yayyyy I want them now though :( :( Why can't they come out now..

I think on my birthday would be much better for ALL of us (September 15) :rolleyes:

Well, still glad to hear rumors with an exact date. That's a little over a month away. I should have exactly enough saved up by then as long as prices don't go up. Sweet.
 
So it's safe to say the Mac Mini is dead?

Over a year since it was last updated... still using the crappy GMA 950 from over two years ago...

Yeah, it's dead.

9to5 Mac is saying that there will be a "Brick of some sort at this event'...what is 'the Brick'?

Teh Brick iz dah wrongly hack0rz / pwned iPhone. :p

I wonder if an event will come, though... Unless the MacBook / MMP gets a real updated casing I don't think Steve will bother showing his far too thin face again for it...
But, here's hoping for it!
Just like I'm hoping Steve will stop being a vegetarian, and get some burgers down his system!... and maybe a beer or two. ;)

Maybe it's a dockable (connects to a bottom portion of a MB) Mac Tablet?
 
october should be a good month then. then next year apple can focus on snow leopard. the first half of this year has been underwhelming as far as hardware updates. quad-core macbook pro would be sweet. or a more powerful macbook air. those are on my wishlist. that would be neat though if the macbooks were aluminum and they could resemble the new nano design. the white macbook becomes silver aluminum. black macbook becomes black aluminum casing. the new silver nano looks just like the imac with the glass and silver/black. similar also to the macbook air.

Sounds great.

Perhaps prices that are actually competitive this time around, instead of being at twice the price for similar specs of other PC notebooks? The fact that I can equal the $2700 17-inch MBP's specs with an HP for $1300 is kinda sad.

Does the HP run OSX? How long does this HP take to load or shut down, Environmentally sound?
 
If there's an event, I think they'll refresh the whole computer line-up.

Or do notebooks in October and desktops at Macworld.

Glad to hear the news. This makes me feel better.
 
Great news, can't wait to see what they have planned for macbook, and the mbp too.

I'm starting saving right now. Hmmm 4-5 weeks of saving may not cut it, oh well, step up Visa and Mastercard :eek::apple::eek:
 
Bought a Mac + iPod Touch last night

I bought a Macbook + iPod touch under "back to school" promotion last night :mad:
But then it's not for me.. it'll go as a Bday gift for a loved one. Although its a gift, obsolescence would still hurt when the updates come out :(
I have not opened any of the boxes yet !! .... :rolleyes: :confused:
Should I ?.... .... god damn it !!
 
October 20th

has anyone else noticed that the $100 rebate on a printer purchased with a mac ends on October 20th? So maybe the new models will drop on the 20th...?
 
I can't wait! I've been waiting for a MacBook since forever. Hopefully, they will lower the prices a little bit, like they did with the ipods (of course, on a larger scale) :D
But my great expectation is a 15'' MacBook :cool:
 
Oh goody. Like some of you I can't wait. Hope to have sold my MBP before the new ones are coming out.
