Apple's New $899 Product is an LED Display and Not a MacBook?

[MacRumors]

Based on information we've gathered it seems the $899 product that has appeared on Apple's product lists is likely an LED Apple Cinema Display and not a low-end MacBook.

AppleInsider also confirms that new displays with a DisplayPort connector and MagSafe adapters. The rumor site also also believes the $899 product is likely a 24" Cinema Display.

This throws into doubt the remainder of the analysis for the part numbers that were leaked.

[kjs862]

Just one display?

 

[mathcolo]

Seriously? Ugh...

Who cares a darn about the displays? We WANT NOTEBOOKS!

AppleInsider says it's a display AND a MacBook. So arn, why say display and NOT a MacBook?

Just one display?

If its just one, id say it really does help substantiate the docking screen everyones been murmuring about.

 

[Grimace]

It's a display dock TV with ethernet -- to put your new dockable MBP into!

 

[MacOSXuser]

I just bought a LG display!! OMG

 

[jade]

So what about the notebooks?

 

[amac4me]

The $899 question ... will it have an integrated iSight camera?

 

[alexlovesmacs]

So the low end MB is $1299?

 

[Chris Rogers]

kind of a let down

Something is definitely not right.

Better sell AAPL now! It's going to head for the ground tomorrow.

Pretty expensive display. I'll take a 24" display from HP for $499, by someone who's got a proven record in the display business.

 

[ziggyonice]

I hope those price points are wrong, or missing some numbers then.

Apple needs a cheaper MacBook to (really) compete nowadays...

 

[brendanspah764]

So the low end MB is $1299?

That is exactly what I thought. This cannot be true. Apple would not rise their price $200 more. How does that appeal to comsumers? If it was 1200, i am getting a Dell. I am sorry.

[twoodcc]

wow. i was really hoping for a tablet. let's hope that's what it is and not a display. $899 for a 24"? i have an acer that i bought for $299

 

[donga]

so apparently the spotlight is on notebooks


and a cinema display?

 

[alexlovesmacs]

I believe that the prices are all wrong the new macbook low end cant be $1299. We just have to wait tommorow 10am PST

 

[minik]

I just sold my DELL UltraSharp 2407WFP last week. Bring it on.

Display Port? Well...

 

[besiktas jk]

One says there won't be a Macbook announcement tomorrow. One says there'll be three Macbooks ($899 & $1299 & $1599). Another says only two Macbooks ($1299 & $1599)...

I am all confused. I should better sleep now and wake up just after the event tomorrow.

 

[Apple Ink]

Expected..... no way Apple's on the netbook bandwagon and no way there's a $400 gap between tow MB/Ps!

For reference and thread mark

 

[mustangsally82]

It makes as much sense as any of the other rumors. A portable notebook with the ability to connect to a bigger display when you're at home or in the office. I'd buy it.

 

[mdriftmeyer]

Make it an OLED display, at that price point using an H-IPS panel standard and you'll dominate the market.

Okay, now back to reality.
