Apple Store down

[lmalave]

Please update the MacBooks too!

I hope they update the MacBooks too. My girlfriend has been weighing getting a MacBook for the past few weeks now. If there's an update and/or price drop, maybe that will be all the convincing she needs. If they update the MB to Core 2 Duo, I hope they still keep a Core Duo model and bump down the price to $999. I think $1000 is an important psychological threshold for consumers.

i'm going to laugh if its just xserves and shuffles

Laugh? Scream more like.

Oh, I can hear the whining now if Merom based portables are not released today....

 

[JDN]

I thought shuffels were already shipping?!

 

[FocusAndEarnIt]

If there's MacBook updates, is it worth sending my MacBook back?

Its not BTO, and is 10 days old. It has squeaky keys, a slightly wobbly screen, but more annoyingly - 'pencil' type marks on the trackpad and button, and surrounding the keyboard (they are slowly fading).

Yes or No, homies?

I would send it back.

 

[dalvin200]

Nope. 20-30 minutes at best.

u reckon? *fingers crossed*

 

[Killyp]

Lucky I have the 'relaod every' extension installed in Firefox, I will know as soon as it's back up

[dmw007]

I would most certainly do the same as well JDT.

 

[dmw007]

Yes, that too.

Yep, my eyes are already shuffling tears just by imagining that...

 

[thefunkymunky]

So I guess new notebooks on the way then. Anyone wanna buy the MBP in my sig.

 

[Killyp]

No, Core 2 Duos bark actually...

 

[dmw007]

No, Core 2 Duos bark actually...

Oh good, I was hoping for a different sound...

 

[Fearless Leader]

No, Core 2 Duos bark actually...

its a little known truth

 

[Radioman]

Well I have my American Express in my hand already...

 

[The Maestro]

[macman2790]

i can't wait to get my hands on this

 

[Kardashian]

I would most certainly do the same as well JDT.

Thankins But, depending on what happens today, we'll see what becomes of my MacBook. I forgot to mention the DVD drive.. its very clunky and noisy. Is it meant to be like that? I mean REALLY loud, it sounds broken, not ''smooth'' like on my old iMac?

Thanks, LilStewart.

Well, have fun everyone. I must be going now since I need to clean out my betta fish's tank. Too bad I won't be here when the store comes back up. Not like I need a new computer anyway. My iBook does more than enough.

 

[Chris Bangle]

I wonder if the new isight will look the same.... also airport extreme thing needs update doesnt it..

 

[lmalave]

compared to..........?

Compared to THE NEEDS OF THE CONSUMER. I can't think of a SINGLE one of my friends or family members that would know or care what GPU is in their computer. Everyone I know uses their computer mainly for web browsing, iTunes, and Microsoft Office (and email but all my friends/family use web-based mail anyway). That's the consumer that Apple (and Intel generally) are targeting, and it represents the vast majority of consumers.

How long does it normally go down for when they update the store?

 

[dmw007]

*Drool*

I want one.

The stores should be back up by 14:00 GMT.
