when you buy an i core CPU from intel you get a package with the CPU, graphics and the chipset in the same packaging. you can add a discrete graphics adapter if you want.

From what I read Nvidia can't sell chipsets that work with i core CPU's because they don't have a license for the DMI patent. Apple can still sell discrete Nvidia graphics but not the integrated 9400M with the i Core CPU's.

my prediction is the entry/ low end will be the intel GPU which isn't as bad as once thought. the discrete is anyone's guess. HP has a nice laptop now with a discrete graphics card with 1GB of graphics RAM

i did a little digging and i read that the intel graphics chipset is lower than the 9400m, which would make me one depressed dude.

So everyone go grab a hot chocolate...its that kind of morning.

The last time I was this excited about an upgrade was almost ten years ago. Apple had released the tibook g4 (400/500) and was rumored to be working on a new one. I had friends inside Apple referring to it an "Onyx" and the big deal was that it bumped the G4 to 667, and included a 16 meg 4xAGP Mobility Radeon that they swore could play Diablo II without breaking a sweat. The thought of playing Diablo II ANYWHERE made me dizzy.

I still remember driving down to Fry's Electronics (yuck, but there were no Apple stores back then lol) and buying it the day it came out. I took a week off work and LIVED Diablo II :)

Ahh...good times.

I haven't been productive at work for almost three hours now... Wish I could have some sort of duck-toy that could hit the refresh button for me...

I can see it now

"The new i7 MacBook Pros are shipping in March, but for those that bundle them with an iPad preorder, they ship today"

Three months later:

New York Times:
"Apple sold nearly 5 million iPads in its preorder phase making it their most successful product launch"
 
I think they should just turn this thread into a Live chat considering were blabbing about this rumor so much. I'm busy refreshing the apple store and this webpage trying to keep up:p

I think I'd fall victim to that trap! Well, as long as they still provided the student discount! :p
