    Not that Apple even gives battery life ratings on their laptops anymore...



    Then again they're not even "laptops". Their "notebooks". Laps beware!

    I'm in a bind with one of these MacBooks because my oldest daughter has her birthday on Sept. 7th. a week too early.



    I may consider an Apple Store gift certificate or a home made MacBook IOU so that she can still take advantage of any upgrades.

    I just don't think the MacBooks are going to get there until January. The MBP's probably will get the newer processors first. MWSF is a good place to update the MB's.

    I don't know if Apple can get away with waiting that long for the MacBooks, but I do agree that the upgrades are going to be done in two steps, with the Pro's at least 2 weeks before the consumer variety.

    Oh hells no!



    One of the good things about going with Intel is we know when new processors are coming out, and for Apple to be competitive with all these Dells they enjoy comparing with they had better keep up with them. If processor X comes out next month, I don't expect to see it in Janurary from Apple. Makes no sense.



    Time to spin those wheels Apple and crank out updates.

Like I said, it's not really needed, but I think it's possible -- especially with a move to the Core 2 Duo chipset.





    It wouldn't surprise me. I think Apple has been holding their breath waiting for users to get used to the intel idea, and they have new designs to match a whole new intel strategy just waiting to thrill us.

    I hope it involves the Multi-Point touch screen technology developed by Jeff Han. An iMac with a detachable screen. I need one of these yesterday but i'm sure we will have to wait another 3-5 years; especially software wise. God damn

    I think it's going to include a new iPod, Phone, and a Home Media center sometime this coming year. I hope it has a convertible tablet.
