Neither... iPad promo stuff
I think this it the most likely content of the box. I doubt Apple would send out iPads this early especially considering that they are apparently having problems manufacturing them
Got a tip for us?

maybe his holiness, god-emperor Jobs was inside the box holding secret information about the next MBP within his brain.
Definitely iPad collateral material. But I can't help wondering if there aren't some iPad accessories in there....
I don't understand how that bag works. Why are there 4 flaps? lol

This is a Rumor site after all so he can post whatever he wants. It's call MacRumors for a reason, otherwise it would be known as MacFacts
Fortunately, there is such a site.
That's what we were always told to quote when I worked there. If it's on Apple.com, then it's okay to talk about.
Well, well, well, the new post says we might be getting it on March 26, it seems very close to the date you said. It did say the will get training for it on March 10, though. Maybe they'll only get 1 iPad to screw around with.
I'm still hoping those are MBPs, though. And considering they are opening it the 26th, it could still be. Or it could be to prepare the iPads for the customers.

I typing this as I hear it so it will be jumpy. 6' High 500 pounts. A whole skid wrap in black wrap. Came from Cupertino CA (my dad doesn't know that that is where Apple is based). Sorry I know that's not well worded but I typed this as I heard it.
Well, that's interesting, much heavier than I would think promo stuff would be. I still don't think it's retail hardware, but maybe it's a big iPad replica that they can display in the storefront, I think they did that for the iPhone...
Are you upset every time a rumor(This is something different than a rumor it's more like evidence but still not definite) from this site doesn't come true? If so you probably slit your wrists when the iPad came out.
I would buy it as a joke
Actually... Here It is!!! I'm going to buy it definitely.Definitely iPad collateral material. But I can't help wondering if there aren't some iPad accessories in there....
Wait... Thats a joke right?
i was joking, kind of. if its truly just a rumor then we can't be upset, but when people deliberately lie to us about saying they "know" something is going to happen or that their dad or sister or cousin told them something when their family member doesn't have anything to do with apple or shipping companies, its frustrating. If you are telling the truth, for which I have no reason to doubt you, then i can't be mad at you. but there is no reason to be defensive if you are telling the truth...
anyway, i wouldn'd be mad at you. we're all in this waiting game together!

Okay I understand
. I want the new MacBook Pros to come out quickly even though I couldn't justify buying one as I just got the most recent 17". I hope Apple really does a good job on this product, as I have been underwhelmed with the last 8 months of products from Apple.One last thing: Is there any kind of NDA that can get me/my family in trouble for posting something like this? My father didn't sign anything abnormal, so it's okay. Right?

I wouldn't have much hope to be honest (I already gave up a few hours ago once I realized Apple wouldn't be releasing anything, and as a matter of fact, my punishment for it will be no money for Apple during 18 months at least...)
The day the iPad sale starts, there will NOT be any other sale at the same time, it wouldn't make sense to sell new MBPs that day... Apple wants people to spend money on iPad even if it's cheaper than a MBP (don't forget that iPad has the AppStore, iTunes Store and... iBook Store!!!).
That leaves either next week or the week after for new MBP, and more likely, it should be next week because it wouldn't be good to put both sales (iPad and MBP) close in time... 8 (I obviously exclude the week of 26th, March because that's when the media says iPad sale will start).
That is, either next week or I think it won't happen till WDDC, and if Apple hasn't cared for this even after all this complaining (I'm sure Apple knows about it), I think they won't care either.
After all, many people here has proven very reliable for the company, they are willing to wait forever, no matter what. Some people are willing to buy a refurb, or a cheap laptop, or a second hand laptop, and once Apple presents the new MBPs, they will sell them right after getting one (because they have kept the 2000$ safe for Apple).
Get ready to wait till June... some people were kidding, I was too... but now it seems very very real, I'm afraid for those of you who will continue waiting
I'm sure all news we get from now on will be related to iPad
Sorry, that's Apple's greed. They get much more money with the different stores, than selling a laptop; besides, they don't even have to invest time and effort, as well as much money on these, as almost all content is third party Well done Apple, well done, but you're risking me as a customer for more than 18 months... and probably many others, though there are still many fans
i finally had saved up enough to buy the mbp i wanted but then i saw that they would be updated soon so now i wait... and wait. i use the new 27" at work but i can't take some of the work home with me because i have a pc. I don't need the mbp right now but it would be a lot of help once i get it. plus, since i have been working on a mac a work for a few years, i won't buy anything else but a mac. a vista update killed my sony laptop!

Well **** (expletive deleted) me!
I don't think I'll buy one (or two, my wife wants an 'i' thingy) - just a bit embarrassing - maybe?
