  • Personally I think this is just a "seasonality" effect, but Apple could help sales by releasing black across the line... I agree that for males, 99% will want silver or black (probably mostly black)... black only in the 8GB limits choice.... not tha…

  • Not to knock Apple, but the most likely reason for the backlog is the surge in orders for back to school - I'm sure a LOT of students (and educational institutions) were waiting until the last minute just to make sure Apple didn't revise the Macbook…

  • WOW What a beauty!! The case and component designs alone are worth there weight in gold - nice one Apple... I need to get a notebook first but my next desktop will definitely be a Mac Pro!

  • Who knows, maybe Apple will have black and white as standard MacBook color choices... then offer a color option for an extra $100-150 for red, blue, silver, etc. as a direct from the Apple Store exclusive??
  • This could be a nice little psychological ploy by Apple to help tone down the pre-show hype/speculation/rumor by all of the fan sites and so called "insiders." Jobs is still going to be there, apparently. Who says he needs to have a formal keynote…
