Does anyone have any logical reason to believe the MB will be updated within the month?



Logical reasoning why they WONT be updated is welcome too.



I ordered a Blackbook on the 12th with 2-3 day shipping and it says estimated delivery is the 26th. Could this be a sign or are they really that backed up on orders?

    Found the following on Mac OS Rumors. It is an article that gives a fair amount of positive weight to the arrival of upgraded MacBooks and MacBook Pros at the Photokina event. Here is the link

    Dude we are talking the MacBook. Screw the pro. I want to hear MB news. I'd really assume it would have to be updated soon, within the next month, for the holiday buying season. It's already been out for months.

    As LCD screens come down in price (as they did for the new iMacs), any chance they might bump the screen size of the regular MacBook? I'm trying to get my Mom to take a look at one but am a little concerned that a 13" screen might be a bit smallish. Paying $1000 more for a MBP is overkill for her and more than she wants to spend just to get the bigger screen.

    she could always spend $150 and buy a 17" tft as a second screen. Granted thats not portable, but it means you have loads of extra space while you are docked, but retain the pricepoint and portability of the macbook.

    "Or even more exciting.....the "Gamer's Dream" MacBook? Stay tuned for all the dirt!"



    I would like to believe the article, but at the same time, a "Gamer's Dream MacBook" would not have intergrated graphics...and the only thing seperating the MB and MBP would be the gfx and a little bump on the cpu. I think if anything they will seperate them more, add a few more features to the MBP to make it worth the money.

    yeah but I hope they keep the all white/black look to the macbooks. I like the look of the macbook pro, don't get me wrong, but macbooks look sweet.

    Now that Apple has released an anodized black aluminum iPod nano, I wonder if the black anodized aluminum is in store for the MacBook Pro?
