More New Apple Products... This Tuesday?

are we all pretty sure that WHEN (not saying it will be this tuesday) apple does update the MacBook, they will get rid of white plastic totally?

it would be kinda cool to go for Nano colors!

Sure, but like I said. Apple is NOT implementing Multi-Touch that way. The touch screen will be in the new Newton. The laptops and desktops will ditch the keyboard and have a full Multi-Touch surface NOT on the screen, and this is after they ease us in with the MacBook Air style track pads in about 2 years when 10.6 comes out and they have it fully implemented into the OS. Look at the freaking signs people, can't you see their strategy???

I agree about the signs and the strategy. I'm just complaining about it. I actually agree with it all, however, I just wish they'd give us that additional option to touch our screen if we wanted to.
 
when it comes to a multi-touch screen i think that apple will come out with a tablet style computer with a swivel screen and an optional use stylus. However I don't think it will come out for another 2 or 3 years.

I love that everyone keep suggesting that it is just the time capsule even though arn already said it was clearly not that.

I'm pro MB style keyboard, mag-latch

That is freakin' pretty! but I'd want the normal speakers on the side of the keyboard.

Best Buy has them (Time Capsules) advertised in their circulars in my neighborhood (probably all stores). I could be wrong but Steve is probably waiting to issue the MBP update as "one more thing" at the iPhone SDK release.

LOL, good point. That one was a quick and dirty mock-up :)

Forget the MBPs, I want a new mac mini. Plus the longer they drag it out the more entertaining it is on the boards ;)

Agreed - A new SR based Mac Mini which can take 4GB RAM, have a better graphics card (X3100) and the ULV Core 2 processor and 7200 RPM HDD would indeed be sweet.

I love my Core duo Mac Mini so much sans the limited RAM and weaker processor.

All that sounds very likely and exciting, and I agree with it; I'm just saying that we should also have the option to touch the actual screen if we wanted to.

Getting a bit hostile and defensive aren't we? People need to chill out! Also, what's with so many postings containing your same viewpoint?? We get it... you want to touch your screen, so touch it... touch it all you want! It just won't do anything, but you can touch your screen as much as your heart desires...

The way you give your iPhone a quick wipe down, you'd do that to your laptop.
Big deal. What Apple should really invent is a screen that defrosts or defogs :)
This way we can touch all we want!!

Umm... when you touch something it doesn't fog up, it gets smudges from the oil your skin glads produce (unless you are one of the few % who don't leave finger prints because you don't produce said oil... lucky you), so defogging a screen would be dumb... i hear when they release the new notebook with touch screen it will come with a monkey housed inside (all squished up because it's going to be a teeny-tiny computer) with a squeegee so that any time there is a smudge on your screen it will come out and clean it for you! Wow that would be a swell computer wouldn't it? Come on steve please make that one next... ;)

Do you honestly think Apple will go back to using a stylus? That would be like mankind going back carriages....
 
theddie said:
If there is a new MBP coming out, which I pray that there is, I hope it looks nothing like that. I think the keyboard on that image would be way too much like the MB keyboard and that it would totally destroy the effect of having a "Pro" notebook.

Well Apple thought it was good enough for the freakin' expensive MacBook Air, so I guess we will see.

Thats an insane comment. After Steve publicly put the stylus in the coffin at the introduction of the iPhone by stating "bleck... who wants to use a stylus", you think they are going to introduce an advanced device that uses a stylus?

Multi-touch is the way of the future.... Multi-TOUCH... the stylus is dead.

My guess is the iPhone SDK. Apple even announced it would be released at the end of Feb, and the reports that it is delayed aren't necessarily credible.

errr no, the iPhone SDK will be a download for developers, you probably won't even hear about it unless you have an ADC account.

Exactly... there is no need for Apple to reinvent the wheel- they are simlply going to fly :)

There was speculation of a press conference including a detailed explanation of what the SDK capabilities were.

Talk about "hostile". Obviously, I meant touching your screen with multi-touch you shmuck.

I mean it's thick and old. Apple can definitely thin the thing out by now and make it lighter and it's time that they did. It's a great machine, but it's way overdue for a serious revision. And, Apple must be able to execute this by now.
That's all I'm saying.
Why don't you keep your MBP and I'll by the new and I'll buy the new & improved one?
Click to expand...

LOL. Have you even seen a PC laptop??? Ya they are about 3 times as thick. The MacBook Pro is very thin and even Apple can't make it much thinner as long as it has a disc drive. Unless you want to give up a bunch of stuff, so just get a MacBook Air. And I will be getting the new one thanks. :)

Here we go again lol.

i think this would look cool, for the pro.

they should make the outside of the screen look like imacs front two tone (white, balck) the keyboard shell make that all black, make the keys them self white, with backlit. and the back all black with an illuninous apple logo.

and maybe where the usb eithernet cables r make that all white.
does anyone agree.
 
Will God (Steve Jobs) finally grace us with a new MacBook Pro? Let's sure hope so, that way we won't get a slew of threads about people wanting to purchase new MBP's.

On the other hand, we'll then get another slew of threads with people hating something about the new MacBook Pro. Great.
 
Finally!!!

YAY I hope this is true!!!

Thn the old macbook pros will drop in price and then even the PowerBooks will drop in price!!!!

Come on :apple:!!!1
 
March?

Um, Time Capsule. Due data "February".

Wouldn't that be one product that could logically be expected to be out this coming week.

It's not jazzy or sexy -- but then again anything jazzy or sexy would have premiered at Macworld.

Just my .02

I think Mine is scheduled to be delivered March 6, if that helps you.
