lol. I really could see tomorrow happening. I was thinking it once I heard about the Back to school deal last week.
I just ordered one, sorry couldn't wait till after today. Now the update will come next week for sure. A side note: I ordered at 5pm est and by 8:50pm est I had already received a ship confirm. Its shipping from Ontario, CA which is weird since I'm on the east coast, stuff I order usually ships from PA. They could be out of stock at the other warehouses. I think if a new one was due this week they would of held my order. I think they are trying to clear out current gens. Fast.
Speed bumps...
Sure there may be a few changes meant to inspire new purchases, but I have to agree with those that reminded me that Apple likes to offer new laptops for graduation/back to school markets. Announce at Macworld, release in May/June.

Apple also has a record of announcing new laptops after the back to school season as well.

Yes, I told my friend to buy his iMac three hours ago to get the rebate...he was probably gonna wait weeks for his first Mac
That may very well be true. But even as a consumer, and a big apple fan at that, I still would not make the trek to Macworld. Macworld is like the Comicon for Apple Fanboys/Girls, and they are not likely to have a low-end MB like most of the people that will buy for Christmas.
What they ARE likely to absolutely blow their brains out over is a brand-new souped up, sexy redesigned MBP with Penryn and upgrades galore introduced by Mr. Steve Jobs/God himself. Let the salivation begin.
Then there's more salivation when Jobs/God keynotifies a new Macbook in May.
Spot on. Apple cannot possibly continue beyond November to charge $1100-$1500 for a laptop with a chipset and GPU that is A YEAR AND A HALF old, or older, just because it's cool looking and has OSX. The Apple premium only goes so far when it comes to technology.
Or Leopard for that matter. lol Or was that the first thing that was being compared to 5 months? lol
besides the whole intel chip will there be a desgin change and will this include the Macbook Pros any ways will they be avible in other colors other that balck gray and white
Attention all Canadians!
Did anyone see the national tonight about parity? It didn't say anything directly about apple. However MAJOR suppliers and retailers are inevitably going to have to lower the canadian prices of goods, with special emphasis on the holiday season being around the corner. The retailers besides many independant buisnesses will put competitiveness before profits in many cases. Imagine the impact of people going Christmas shopping in the States this year. It only makes sense and has been reported that many are going to lower prices soon or allready have
This hopefully this could mean cheaper apples!

Exactly. And that's why Apple will release an upgraded version of the MB in the next week or two. But it won't be a completely revamped design. That will be reserved for the MBP in January, with the shiny new MB redesign in April or May.
Hello first time poster. Ive been wanting to buy a macbook for a while now too and i hope these updated ones come asap. Just hoping to get some good cash for my pc on ebay or something. btw best buy seems to have all macbooks back ordered. Estimated arrival time is 11/14 - 11/28/2007. Could this be of any relevance?
It's simple, really. You see, every MacBook is pre-loaded with a Space-Time-Continuum Reflexive Self-Adapting Capsule. It's what makes the Apple logo on the front cover glow.
Anyway, this capsule actually means that the MacBook exists nearly two years in the past, and merely appears as if it is here right now.
Of course, just kidding. He was referring to the graphics chip, which was from 2006.

They have updated the site already. The ads for the back to school action have been replaced with ads about all news macs being delivered with Leopard.
Nothing new. =(
i consider the "back to school" ad to be the same as the "students who buy a mac get an ipod for free"-ad. it was deleed from the german site too.
i cant wait to get my new MB!
