Has 13.3-inch WXGA widescreen display, color white, obviously no Macbook but just blur the image a little in your daydreams and you'll see a Macbook :rolleyes:

EDIT: I must be loosing it ... I just ordered a 13" laptop case in anticipation of my new 13" Macbook, but Apple hasn't even officially announced it will be selling a 13" Macbook. Somebody stop me!!!

It is a prophetic move and will turn out to be accurate.
 
It does seem that Apple hasn't really redesigned any Mac for the intel transition, which is quite remarkable for a company that is so about designing products. I do hope this changes when the Macbook comes out.

About the student issues: I will get money for my birthday, and buy a Macbook for college next year. A lot of other people are in a similar situation. We start in September, so I can wait till June, although my birthday is in May (though time ahead of me, plz stop me from buying a MBP). When you want the new iBook, you will wait, but people that are less interested won't, they'll see "better" PC laptops (makes me :mad: ) and buy those instead.
This, together with windows apps on Mac, could have been a breakthrough, but I fear it will miss a lot of people with this delay.:(

Why redesign something that is already fairly new and works well? Under PPC Apple had redesigned the iMac for the G5, and then made a slight revision with Rev. C adding iSight. Apple retained the exact same form factor for the Intel as Rev. C PPC. No sense redesigning a design as awesome as the current iMac.

If you read the rumors, they all say the Macbook is the one big redesign in the Apple lineup. That just make sense, since Apple is switching from a 12" 4:3 form factor to a 13.3" widescreen one. How much can you really redesign a laptop? I don't think much, other than move ports around, and make it a tenth of an inch thinner. You are limited to the screen size in a laptop for the size of the thing. I'm looking forward to the new Macbook. Pleeeeze, any day now!
 
has anyone been to store.apple.com today?

looks like they resorted the macbook pro in the middle of the page. not sure if the "ships in 24 hours" is new. and there is an error in the "macs with powerpc processors" title?

someones been playing with it. :eek:
 
The UK store in unaltered but the US store page has been cacked up - the words are all over the place Intel Pro Cessors....etc.

v. poor:eek:

So far it seems that the aim is to convince Mac users that the Intel move is more about similarity than difference. What better way to do this than by releasing the exact same products which run the exact same software?
 
Buyer Opinion

I am going to be purchasing a new notebook and making the switch to Apple. I plan to purchase a new notebook when I return from abroad in mid-May. I am very interested in buying the new MacBook Pro, however I want to entertain the idea of a slightly smaller and more mobile notebook. Does anyone know if they are going to come out with MacBook Pro's in a smaller version? I don't want to sacrifice the power of a MacBook Pro and get a 12 inch PowerBook or IBook, but I would prefer something smaller than a 15 inch. Thanks for the help.

macbok and 17" in may?

good, now, i hope this adds up to an announcement at NAB. i can wait till then, i do not know if i am physically capable of keeping my money beyond that;) :D
 
It's funny how TS reports 30-60 days, and MacRumors already said june like a week ago, both about the same(30-60 days would be june or late May):rolleyes:

Any more reports on the core duo maybe coming out less that $1299? I read another thread saying the price of the processors were to decrease soon, just throwing that out there
