Core 2 Duo MacBooks Tomorrow?

You're dealing with terrible Apple store staff then. Here in Chicago at all of our Apple stores, we have employees that know what products they're selling and what they are going to soon be selling.

ok...

challenge...

i will offer you $500 bux via paypal

if you can get an apple employee on iChatAV at the Chicago store, telling us about future product updates, including timeframes.

They must be wearing a current apple shirt "completely remastered" and an apple name tag.
 
I noticed the MBs in the UK refurb store, too. My 800mHz 256MB G4 iBook is very close to kicking the bucket, and it's way out of warranty--I have no desire to spend money on fixing it because I was always intending to buy a new MacBook after the C2D update, but it's becoming a more and more critical situation. I don't want to buy outdated tech for a premium when I know that an update is just around the corner. I was hoping to hold on for Leopard, but that's just not feasible any more. I'm really hoping that the update comes in the next couple of weeks (and the MBs in the refurb store look like a good sign).

:D you may be right...

Amazon, Best Buy, Circuit City, J&R, MacZone and eCost are out of certain models of the MacBook!!!!!!!!

Plus Amazon is giving a $100 rebate! This happened the last time they sold out of iBooks just before the MacBook!!!!!!

Hope it is tomorrow (7th), but maybe it's the 21st Nov? According to Amazon.com's rebate offer:

Purchase by: Postmarked by: Rebate amount:
11/21/06 12/21/06 $100.00
 
I dont see why more people are not thinking November 16th!!
I know it's not a thursday but that's the 6 month gap between the CD and C2D ones - pretty logical really seeing as it happened with the MBP
knowing me though, probs won't happen :] lol

hope they come out 2mz!!

yeah, does it have to be a Tuesday for releases? Didn't they release the ipod shuffle on a Friday?

both the red products were released on a friday thanks to oprah!!
the shuffle was announced on the 12 of sept(??not sure if 12 was the date)... at the "its showtime event" which was a tuesday.. it just didn'st start shipping yet...

as far as the 6 months thing goes... i hope that will play a factor... because if it doesn't happen by the 14th i think it would be too late since the following week will be thnx giving and black friday... so the 16th pushes the hope on that week for an extra 2 days:D :D :D
 
Ok, now I'm freaking out.

I had heard they might release a new one a while ago, but did not realize it was suppose to be so soon.

I placed an order for a 2.0ghz macbook w/ upgraded ram Friday night. I also bought an incase neoprene case. Both said they ship with in 24 hours. I received notice the case had shipped saturday morning, but have not heard anything yet about the status of my macbook. It said on the estimater thing the macbook would be shipped by nov. 8 (tomorrow), but again I have not received anything and nothing has been billed on my credit card.

Is it possible they are holding my order for the new release?? Seems strange it has not shipped yet and that nothing, not even the case has been billed to my credit card yet.

Or would the delay in shipping just be due to having the memory upgraded??

I'm scared now!!!!

Also I haven't been able to access my order status for most of the day on apple.com. It just gives me this message:

"Apple's Online and phone Order Status services are temporarily unavailable due to a scheduled upgrade to our systems.

We apologize for any inconvenience."

I was going to cancel my order just to be safe. I called apple and they had already closed. And the website won't let me access my account.

Normal, or is something going on here?

Is apple known to hold your order if a new release is on its way with in the next few days??
 
Yes! Apple Store is down! Looks like Apple updated early, just like the MBPs. Sighs..gotta repack my nice MB for a new one... :(

It's also funny that nobody (AppleInsider/MR) saw this coming. Everyone knew it's sometime next week (because Tuesday passed) but didn't know when.

No. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not next month. Next year.
