It opens Tuesday, September 26, but the Apple press event is on Monday, September 25, so I suspect that any new hardware will be announced on Monday.Multimedia said:

That makes sense and is consistent with what Apple has done in the past. After the first Intel systems went on sale, Apple discounted G4s to deplete inventory.tekmoe said:
I'm still not convinced that the shipping times quoted on the Apple site convey anything about a new model. Ideally, Apple would want to wind down their inventory ahead of a new model. But demand for certain systems may also have been overestimated, resulting in excess inventory and therefore short lead times on orders. If a new model is released, Apple will just discount the older systems until they've sold out.DHagan4755 said:

makes sense to me... the higher end MBP's are being phased out because Apple doesn't want to lose a lot of money on these models when they introduce the new Merom MBP's.
I do hope that uesday brings up hope and joy in the form of new MBP's cause frankly I am tired of waiting as many of us are for the merom chip in a notebook.
if we do not see a revised MBP line I guess I will have no choice but to buy a 15" CD MBP since I can not wait any longer.

Has Apple even done that lately (in the U.S.)?? I'm betting any excess inventory will be sold as refurbished or kept in inventory for repairs / replacements. I could see discounts at non-Apple retail stores, though.tekmoe said:
So, a 90 minute press event, starting at 10:30 a.m. for those of you on Eastern Daylight Time.shecky said:from Ars Tehnica:
"Apple Special Event Presentation: September 25th 16:30~18:00h
Gürzenich Köln,
Martinstraße 29-37
50667 Koln
Cologne, Germany
Registration: 15:30h and reception to follow presentation."
there we go
I smell more that just an incremental upgrade of Aperture and iSight. Either another new concept in Photo editing software, a radical upgrade of Cinema Displays, or Merom MBPs, take your pick...

on MBP's back.
who can see it?
MacinDoc said:
not disagreeing, but its also possible that the 90 minutes mentioned in the invite could be 30 minutes of presentation followed by 1 hour of "play around with what we just announced" time in the next room.
just speculation. all i know is i am good and ready to buy a C2D lapzilla, and i am tired of speculating about it

I would fully expect Apple to spend a good length of time demonstrating any newly announced features to Aperture, but in the post describing the Apple Event, it was mentioned that a reception was to follow the event. It isn't a stretch to imagine that any playing around with the product will be done by journalists during the reception and not the announcements. If so, that leaves a 1.5 hour announcement with only Aperture as a lock for release.
Other announcements would appear to be coming. Whether it be new iSights & ACDs, or new MBPs, we'll find out tomorrow!
