I am most interested to see what CPUs and Chipsets Apple uses. I am predicting Penryn across the board to be able to stick with Nvidia GPUs until they can figure out what to do with the Arrandale/Intel integrated graphics problems.
All signs are pointing in one direction, and nothing is going towards anything substantial, so as far as i'm concerned it's a done deal. We have heard no other announcements or events so it can't be anything big. I called that most likely all that would change is how thin it is.

I've been checking over the past few days, and this is the first time I've seen this. It is still 24 hours in the regular store, but two weeks in the edu store. Eh, who knows. Apple, my productivity is going down the crapper here. Release something already!
Which store was that? US still has 24 hours.
EDIT: Never mind, US Education. Wonder why the education has 2 weeks but the regular store has 24 hours...

If Macs weren't hot and underpowered enough, now they're going to make them even thinner and more underpowered? The thinner a computer is, the less powerful it can be and the more cooling it takes, which also takes room. The issue isn't with thinness, it's with being so thin you can't fit any good hardware. My Macbook of 2 years ago heats up during Youtube videos, even web browsing. Can't imagine how hot they'll be now, unless Apple has invented some new cooling technology, which I doubt.
I don't know about that, I'd rather have a fast computer then a thin one.

As in how loud are the speakers? If you max it out you could probably hear it resonating through your entire house so long as the doors are open.
No, not speakers, fans.As in how loud are the speakers? If you max it out you could probably hear it resonating through your entire house so long as the doors are open.
Oh, quiet as can be from my experience. I barely even notice the thing's running half the time.
On the iMac9,1:
Aside from the usual humming from the power inverters and an occassional spastic cooling fan, it's pretty quiet. Still runs hot as hell, IMO though. I personally wouldn't mind seeing at least an move to LED displays on the iMac.
The 2.0 GHz Clarksfield (55 W instead of 45 W) is most at risk.Thinner imac's.. Is this lowering the chance of us getting quad core and/or a decent gpu. Because if im not mistaken quad cores are obviously going too take up more room. So no doubt its going too c2d's again.
Even if it is not an absolute downgrade it will be a relative downgrade and that is what matters.
When they say MacBook, does that include MacBook Pro as well?
I plan on getting a 17" MBP, just wondering when the next update will be....
