Barrons reports on an analyst note from Citigroup's Richard Gardner who claims to have received confirmation that new MacBooks are shipping.

The report cites "field checks" as the source of the information and describes the new MacBooks with a "very thin aluminum casing, an LED-backlit display and an aggressive entry-level price point."

This description matches many of the circulating rumors, including photos that claimed to depict the new MacBook. Also, the "aggressive" price point could also represent the lower margins that Apple predicted for future quarters during their Q3 2008 Financial Results. At that time, Apple described a "future product transition" which could impact margins.

The most recent claims have pinpointed October 14th as the possible day for the MacBook release.

Hi all :)

As a long-time reader (and HUGE fan of the live event coverage), and a new poster; I have one question about the supposed product updates on October 14th.

My apologies if this has been covered before; but as an owner of a Feb. 2008 MBP with major GPU issues (that Apple Cust. Relations kindly offered to replace with the new model upon its release), have any sources other than John Gruber of Daring Fireball estimated this date?

There seems to be much speculation on the date, but all of it (CNet, ZDNet, AppleInsider, and others) looks to be based on one person's estimate (along with any [unverifiable] sources he may have).

I don't know about any other sources for this particular date, but many rumors pointed to fall, so October/November release is very probable. And since we don't have another rumored date... you know... ;)

On a new topid, you know how some say that Apple do not care for those like us (as in semi-fanboys to proper fanboys)? IMO - if it werent for them, not many would change to apple! I mean, before deciding to go to mac, people always ask friends/family with a mac or they can go on here to get Mac users opinions right? So technically we are providing free marketing (word of mouth!) ;)

I asked this question before but never got a response. Does apple do surveys or what ever to see what consumers want? And do they take anything into consideration?

They do have surveys of their online support. I've no idea whether they take them into consideration. I never heard of any concerning products, only possibility to send them feedback.

I haven't seen other sources for October 14, but multiple sources do say October.

I guess at an Apple store is fine or on the internet.
Calling Apple could be a good alternative:D

'Who said Oct 14th?'
'Website, employee at Apple Store in Austria, Steve Jobs sent me an official email'
'Well that sounds good'
'October 14th right?'
