I can't wait to see what the new ones look like, I'm in the market for a new computer but with the macbook air's having the core shutdown issues and the macbook pro's having their graphics issues, I started looking at the macbook. But oh wait, those crack. So really what's left?

I'm waiting for the next generation apple laptops before I make a purchase. Hopefully we will see big changes in all of Apple's laptops in the next 6 months. :D

I have to say that out of the 3 laptops Apple makes, the MacBook has the best quality and best engineered.
I even have a Core Duo MacBook that's over two years old and it hasn't cracked on me or had any problems. It's still going strong and I call it: "PowerPC-Intel Mac". ;)
 
Thanks, I use a sony now and want a laptop and the other Mac's dont really fit my needs so I guess I will wait for the new ones, just ordered a mini also and have been waiting a month for that :( so here is another wait.
I have used a Macbook Air and when you hit Flash it a nightmare, also want a user replaceable battery.

You really think so? What makes you say that, if you believe in it that much heck I might buy one. My ibook is on it's last leg...
 
What is new about the macbook coming up does anyone know? is it just the looks and maybe a little tweek in performance? this summer has a great deal for college students and i'm still debating whether to buy the new coming macbook. i personally like the black macbook look and don't mind it.

low end - 2.26Ghz Montevina
high end - 2.53Ghz Montevina

both processors should run cooler + more efficiently = battery life++
DDR2 800Mhz
hopefully LED screens!

I'm all over a new MacBook too! I wanna get the low end one & bump the HDD to one of OCZ's new cheap SSD's!... OK maybe not cheap..
 
That link makes it sound like it won't have montevina...or am I misreading it?

August 18th sounds amazing. I hope it's true. Actually, I hope the MBP comes out at the same time, so I can compare.

I have high expectations. I can't wait.
 
I hope its a little sooner than August 18th. It will take a couple weeks to get to my house, and I need it by around that date. :)

Maybe I should call Apple, too. :rolleyes:
 
Speculation says we won't see MacBooks until mid-late September, however we may see MacBook Pro models earlier than that. I really hope Apple updates the MacBooks in August, because I need to buy before September for university. :eek:
 
Aug 18? Nah...I think they'll wait til the Back to School stuff is done. At least they have in the past I think...
