Something's the matter with US online store, plain and simple. I've got these glimpses in both Chrome and Firefox, someone had in Safari, so it's not browser related. Anyway, most of the time if you delete the part of the URL behind the question mark, you get the normal site.

well I notice the "GB" icon on the laptop product pages is in black, not the gray like it was before. and they gavce a bit more info on whats inside the box and what leopard is......
Never noticed how often something photoshopped arrives at a rumour site, and how many people especially mac users seem to excel at photoshopping?yeah i'm sure everyone here has photoshop
plus why would we all do that anyway
See above.
Suurre, Chris just because I tend to disagree with your utterings, I must be about "starting trouble"
Oh, and I don't have Photoshop. Hell, I don't even have Gimp. I'm amazed you can get so much out of me giving two possible explanations. Trying to start trouble, are we, Chris?
The Pro line needs to stay as it is, in terms of thickness. In fact, even thicker would be better. If anything "has to" get thinner, I hope it's the
If they do update the MacBooks first, they won't be better than the Pros in any spec way, like FSB speed, max RAM, and RAM type (besides the HDD).
Unless the upcoming MacBook update is a really big jump, then there will still be a significant gap.
I use Keynote for all my "photoshopping."GIMP is free.
Heey everyone
Hey guys! Started checking this site often and now everyday since around mid-summer since I started hearing more and more rumors about new macbooks, decided to finally sign up and post. (By the way, is there basically only guys that go on this site!? Just from the post you can kinda tell there's hardly any girls)
So, last night I had a dream that I saw a new macbook commercial, hahaha you know you're desperate when. The lowest end price point was 799 and they were avaliable in multiple colours, and it was a really kind of cool and groovy ad campaign.
Definitely a dream.
Honestly though, if they stayed at the pricepoint they are at now I really don't care, I would dish out that much no problem, I love them. I'm with the person that said they hope that the MB and MBP get released at the same time, because I too might go upto the Pro if they are dropping the prices aggressively. This Tuesday would be awesome but, sounds like it's pretty much on or before Oct 14th, that's fine with me!

i have a feeling this is what it is going to end up being..
$899 really isnt that drastic..
I agree 100%. After all, what people forget is that the Pro line is supposed to be just that, a "Pro" line. Meaning it is to be for power users who care about specs and performance. If Apple would stop caring so much about "thinness" on it's pro line, we would stop having super-hot laptops, and laptops that are light years behind in graphics card power. And with more thickness comes more specs.
I'm afraid the current "Pro" line is just a bunch of super-expensive, 15" and 17" Macbooks that happen to have a medium-class graphics card. It's no wonder the Macbooks don't have dedicated GPU's. If they did, it would be more obvious how underspecced and overpriced the current MBP's are compared to both the Macbooks and the competition.
You sure it wasn't an iPod commercial?
Haha no it was a macbook, and I remember checking the apple site right after seeing the commercial cause I was so excited, and all the colours were on the main page like the nano-chromatic campaign, all groovy and stuff.
Man I want one so bad I'm dreaming about it, lol.
Below midrange. The wonderful realm of 64-bit memory interfaces, even fewer shaders, and super IGP's with dedicated VRAM.
I'm sure it boggles Apple to think that Mac users want choice.
I can personally verify that there's at least one girl who reads/posts here. But what does it matter, anyway?
Girl here. I am sure there are LOTS of "fangirls" like myself and Erin above. You just can't tell because of our user names.
I lurk here many times a day but rarely post but this thread is exciting! Can't wait to upgrade my 2.5 year old SLOW macbook pro. Please let it be Tuesday!
That must have been exciting!
Busted!You sure it wasn't an iPod commercial?
If the speculation about the current MacBook and MacBook Pro lines merging into one "MacBook" line is true, then I hope that the "MacBook Pro" line is reintroduced as a thick and very powerful notebook line. So Apple would have three types of notebooks. Thin (MacBook Air), "regular" (MacBook), and thick and powerful (MacBook Pro).
This will be even more obvious once the MacBooks go aluminum. I'm afraid that Apple's response to the smaller difference between the two lines is to further cripple the MacBook, rather than making the MacBook Pro better (some changes can be made without making the MBP any thicker).

well tosser you went on and on about how we all could be photoshoping this. when close to 10 people reported the same thing...
may be if we tossed you around a bit your attatude would change and you wont be pissing people off.
My G3 iMac is starting to feel sluggish. I think it's time for a shiny new 17" macbook pro with a cinema screen and 4gb RAM. I can't wait. I deserve it.
If apple are planning to do an announcement for the launch of these new macbooks it is very unlikely that it will be the 23rd because they usually send out the invitations to the guests that are invited to the announcement a couple of weeks before just like they did for the “Lets Rock” IPod announcement........so if they had sent out invites and were going to make an announce on the 23rd , surly someone on the net would of mentioned that they had received a invite for an upcoming apple announcement.
If Apple ARE NOT planning to do an announcement, the 23rd is still possible for the release of the new macbooks.
If Apple ARE planning on doing an announcement, then the 14th of October or maybe a week or 2 earlier is still the likely date as it gives them time to send the invites out to the guest a couple of weeks before the event just like they did for the recently "Lets Rock" iPod announcement.

I don't normally think that anyone deserves any product.
But if you've held on to a G3 iMac with a 15" CRT all these years... yes, I think you actually deserve a prize.
