Apple October 2008 Notebook Media Event Coverage

[emulator]

Wow. Apple continues to rip people off. 1999 doesn't sound like a good deal.

$899 for a 24" display? even being LED...

 

[billchase2]

"We're introing a new generation of MacBook on top of the white plastic model." It's just like the Pro... yet smaller.

?????

 

[App1€]

macbook: $999

Not too bad I would have liked it cheaper, but its better then 1200

 

[isoceles]

I'm happy with what they did to the MBP. I'll be picking mine up in a few hours.

 

[Artofilm]

Looks like Apple will no longer have any white plastic computers!

 

[gauchogolfer]

Firewire is officially dead. Dead as the floppy drive. Not on the notebooks, not on the displays. Good bye, you had a good life.

You realize there is a FW800 port on the MBP, right?

 

[gadgetgirl85]

Yaaaaaaaaay! I can get a MB

 

[galstaph]

so the new mackbook slots between pro and the white base.... (reminiscient of the 12" pb)
looks nice... slick like the imac

 

[Markleshark]

Looks like the smaller pro machine is back.

 

[jaredtomas]

I'm diggin these Macbooks.

Sorry, I meant FW 400

Unless you ignore the Macbook Pro, which does have it.

Sorry, I meant FW 400

Which is compatible with FW800 ports, if you have the correct cable.

9600M GT..

I thought they said next gen graphics..










MOTHER F...

The 9600M GT (and it's related 9700M GT) are currently NVidia's top mobile GPU's. There isn't anything more powerful currently. NVidia and ATI are both usually a generation behind their desktop parts.

Yes Led Screen On The Macbook!!!!!!:d:d:d:d

 

[billchase2]

were there 3 bald guys yet? if so, i have a bingo.

 

[soLoredd]

Oh Lord, now they are just gumming up the offerings. A new MacBook on top of the current whites? Why not just replace the white?

 

[AppliedMicro]

Alright folks... no more whining around from the PowerBook 12" fans please.*
The new MacBook is made for you.



* Of course it's ont gonna stop if the new boy comes without FW.

 

[redgaz26]

Macbooks aren't low enough, knock off another $100 and it would be much better.

never happy eh

 

[phinsup]

no update on the 17" which is what i was hoping for and I am not all that excited about the glass/glossy screen I prefer the matte.

 

[strikeinsilence]

Looks like Apple will no longer have any white plastic computers!

Kind of like they have no more white plastic iPods.

 

[Yixian]

My feelings exactly. They give us two crap cards over one decent one, with the excuse of an extra hour battery life??

What the hell are they thinking? FFS/

SHI...

 

[The Samurai]

BAcklit keyboard.

Environmental groups must be happy lol

 

[galstaph]

not so sure of the 9400... but this new macbook will seriously cut into mbp sales methinks @1299

 

[tekmoe]

I'm happy with what they did to the MBP. I'll be picking mine up in a few hours.

They hit the stores tomorrow.

 

[priller]

$300 but a slower cpu than the white mb?
