Leak or Typo: 2.6GHz MacBooks?

Apple's hot news page is rotating an advertisement for "The new MacBook. Up to 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo."

The only problem is that the current MacBook tops out at 2.4GHz. It appears that this most likely represents a mistake rather than a true leak, though there were some unconfirmed rumors of a MacBook/MacBook Pro update last week.

I'm thinking typo... but then again, given the recent amount of reports and leaks - this may very well be a hint.
 
That would be pretty epic, I can't lie. That's like three processor upgrades within six months. Seems pretty fast..especially compared to all their other machines, like the Mac Mini 🙄
 
Looks like it has been fixed to say it is for the Macbook pros:

EDIT: Nevermind, I saw the image come up just now. Probably a typo.
 
That is the main reason I am waiting on a new MB, not for a redesign, but for a proc speed bump. I don't need a super drive, but do want a 2.4 GHz proc. I'm assuming this means there will be a speed bump of some sort, maybe only as a config choice though. I was personally expecting updates next week for the MBs in line with the last two years.

I guess that at WWDC the current combo drive will die, it can't cost them less than the SD in any significant terms.
 
2.6GHz in a MacBook is probably going to happen eventually; but for now its probably just a typo.

For a typo, it's now been there quite a while 🙄

Sometimes Apple's webmasters aren't that fast. After the most recent iMac update, the German Apple site sported an embarrassing typo for several days: An iMac banner proclaimed the systems were running at up to "3.06 HGz". (And no, they never explained what kind of unit "Higagertz" might be. 😛 ) So, it could be a bit before they correct it, especially since today's Sunday.
 
probably its a typo.
they wont be upgrading the MB and MBPs until the all-new MB(P) line in summer. or autumn.🙄
 
Probably an oversight as they are so busy preparing the graphics and information for all the new goodies we will get at WWDC!
 
i don't think it was a typo since why would they edit the page to start with if there was nothing to change cuz i don't think there was any new news at there page

Most likely just a goof but a 2.6 Ghz processor in a Macbook would be nice.
