Macbooks Tuesday, May 9?

OK here's an on-topic point:

What time do Apple's retail stores close?
How long until then in hours?

I can't believe that if these 'do not open until...' boxes do exist, someone could resist the temptation to reveal all this evening. They wouldn't get caught.

Maybe a better question would be, which Apple Store has an elevator? :p

Ohh damn, I'm sorry! I will write useful posts now.

How many hours till a possible release of MacBook?

Btw how can you see it? You aren't a Moderator :p
 
So, of all those 1000+ posts, how many people out there are actually going to buy one?

If I could get a high end MacBook for under 1500, I will buy it as soon as CompUsa has it.
I want
>=100gb drive
Core Duo 1.8 or 2.0
bluetooth
802.11g
512mb RAM (expandable to 2 or 4gb)
FireWire (800 would be nice, but doubtful)
3 or more USB 2.0 ports
SuperDrive (dual layer 8x as an option maybe)
at least 1280x800 resolution
10/100/1000 Ethernet

and still under 5 lbs.

Here's hoping... :)
 
I remember the fuss of the MacBook pro - the large event and so on

Doesn't it seem awful quiet to you right now, from the position of Apple, I mean.

Thats a macbook pro, i still cant understand why people have so high specs as expectations, its going to be for student!
o and btw. all rumors are still based on: I WANT....... and actually believing it themselfs that apple wont do it for less.
will see, i hope a smaller macbook pro 13inch, so costs less... but not sure that price will actually make much differents

My *PERFECT* machine that I realistically hope they offer is:

Intel Core Duo 1.66GHz Processor
13.3" TFT
512MB DDR667 Memory (will be U/G to 1.5GB)
80GB HDD 5400rpm
Radeon X1400 128MB GPU + Upto 512MB Hypermemory
SuperDrive
iSight and FrontRow
Better speakers built-in/Audio in-out please w/ 5.1+ Support
Airport+Bluetooth+Standard stuff (can do without a modem)

$1499/£1099
 
dont know if this has been mentioned but no ibooks in the refurb store at apple. i just check 1 or 2 days ago and i know they had some then.

yeah i noticed that too...but it could just be a temporary thing. they dont have refubs EVERY day.

that's always changing from day to day. by the afternoon, they're often gone. in the morning, there are usually some available.
 
I will buy MacBook! But I have to sell my iMac 17 " first, probably can get the expensiver one for that. :)
 
appleinsider has just posted a story saying essentially that it will probably be later in the month not tomorrow

I don't think its that unreasonable. Note I said a HIGH END macbook.
I think 1500 is more than reasonable for those specs.

Now, that has an 80gig drive and can only go to 1gig of RAM, but it is also more than $500 less than what I was proposing.

This, I think is realistic, except I'm not so sure about everything on your audio line: I'm guessing the built-in speakers will be about the same, you won't get audio in on a non-Pro computer, and no 5.1+ support.

You'll get everything else, though. Maybe even a 100GB HD.

Also, what is Hypermemory?

This isn't too crazy, but I'm guessing the processor on the MB will top out at 1.67 DC for now. And more likely 2 USB ports, although I agree that 3 would be nice.
