Five New MacBook Configurations for Tues, May 15th?

[MacRumors]

Tuesday, May 15th is the most recent date-on-the-calendar for those awaiting Apple notebook updates. Questionable rumors posted last week indicated that we would see Apple laptop updates this week, while other rumors pointed to "sooner than expected" laptop updates.

Despite varying claims, the final word we've heard is that five (consumer) MacBook models are en route, but no other details are available.

Apple presently features 3 MacBook models ranging from $1099 - $1499 and last updated the MacBook in November 2006. Our Buyer's Guide reveals that the MacBook is approaching the end of its refresh cycle.

Does the word MacBook here also include the Pro's too?

[diehardmacfan]

i really think that this is going to happen

i think there will be macbook updates and the macbook slim to be introduced

there have been so many rumors in the past week for this

Five?

Hmmm....maybe Product (RED) MacBooks?

 

[MacNut]

I would guess 3 screen sizes and the top 2 models will have 2 difference processors.

No MacBook Pros until WWDC.

The new Shuffle MacBook available in five new colors.

For some reason this seams familiar.

 

[Daveway]

Mornin' can't come fast enough, but it's the MBPs I'm watching for.

 

[MacNut]

The new Shuffle MacBook available in five new colors.

For some reason this seams familiar.

I would love to see colored laptops. A nice dark blue.

Brushed aluminum in five colors! w00t!

edit: missed it by that much

Five?

I know, seems like kind of a lot, doesn't it?

 

[mcmillan]

Is this a MacRumors exclusive source?

With 5 laptops to choose from, it might be easier to just spin a wheel and pick one.

 

[coday182]

wow and I was just about to buy one but I decided to wait till tomorrow cause of the recent rumors. A sign from god? lol

 

[Luis]

Is this a MacRumors exclusive source?

It seems so...

I think this could mean the comeback of colors... interesting move i think.

 

[davester]

Sounds like Apple is starting to do another "mid-90's". Remember the Performa lines? Spoilt for choice but at the expense of customer confusion.

 

[VanMac]

Oooooh. I'm looking to buy. Hope it pans out

 

[DMann]

Five

I know, seems like kind of a lot, doesn't it?

With a MacBook 'Thin' in the mix, the updates will seem complete - better graphics capabilities, (for Leopard) Santa Rosa platform, LED backlights, Flash drives, snazzy new designs..... I'm not sleeping tonight

 

[hatcher146]

if there is an update....does anyone know when the apple online store would be updated? is there a normal time?

 

[TheAnswer]

I would love to see colored laptops. A nice dark blue.

I hope they can make a dark blue that matches the red. The current iPod blue is too light for my tastes.

If it's colors...I'm hoping for red, blue, orange, black and silver.

 

[Macula]

Leopard is out tomorrow morning.

 

[BenRoethig]

I'm guessing

1.8ghz 13" $899
1.8ghz 15" $1099
2.0ghz 13" $1299
2.0ghz 15" $1499
Black 2.0ghz 15" with GeForce 8400M. $1699

Black $50 BTO option

Five?

exactly my point....

maybe 3 new mbp and 2 mb? with the old macbook model as the end of the line?

 

[CMC1187]

New Macbook Pro please!! Macbooks were updated after Macbook Pros in November. Pro's are wayyy past due! Macbooks in 5 different colors? I think that is dumb.
