I doubt it would be as powerful -- especially not since it might need a low-voltage Core 2 to get strong battery life. Also, don't be surprised if there's no integrated optical drive, unless Apple can make even the VAIO TZ seem thick.

I'd expect a modest update somewhat like the C2D update at the end of last year where it's the architecture and not the clock speed that changes, though I wouldn't be surprised if Apple wanted the same treatment for the MacBook as for the iMac -- ev…

If you're going to wait at all, wait until Leopard. But I wouldn't realistically expect an actual hardware update until early 2008, when mobile Penryn (i.e. 45nm Core 2 Duo) is available.

I've got one. I haven't noticed any dithering effects, so I'd say the colour accuracy is as good as it will be for a glossy display. Very bright (half-brightness is about right in a moderately dark room). The screen area is great, that's for su…

Liked it so much that I bought once the store was finally back up (two hours after it was supposed to be!). It's a stock 24-inch 2.4GHz model, but I plan to drop in an extra 1GB of RAM later. I'm looking forward to it as my first ever Intel Ma…

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this! Many of these companies will literally wait until AI makes a definitive claim before they put out a report.

No Blu-Ray in the iMac until 2008. LG's desktop-sized Blu-Ray combo drive (i.e. can't write Blu-Ray, just read it) will cost $400. Now remember that notebook drives (the kind Apple needs) will typically cost more. It would be too expensive as a B…

Blu-Ray in any Mac? Late 2007 update to the Mac Pro -- unless there's a major delay, I know it's going to happen. iMacs and notebooks? Not until 2008.

Pretty much bang-on, Myst -- I've noticed that TS is echoing a lot of what AI says lately. Though narrowing the release window to August is a bit different than the July/August window AI has posted so far, so maybe they finally got something of an …

Apple makes both iTunes and Quicktime. You can figure it out from there.

I'm not counting on the iMacs anymore, though I don't think they'll be too long after WWDC (2-3 weeks). An hour and a half may be used to sum up the iPhone, general updates, and Leopard.

I'm calling it. From what I hear, it's virtually certain: - 2.2GHz and 2.4GHz options (yes, Santa Rosa) - LED-backlit displays (15-inch models) - 160GB baseline hard drive (options unknown yet, likely 200GB higher up) No more details yet, b…

I suspect they're blowing smoke, because they've obviously never dealt with Apple before. When was the last time Apple ever put up a demo unit before something was technically (if not officially) on sale? They don't give Best Buy a new iPod demo…

If the 20- and 24-inch only story is true, I can already imagine what Apple will be doing: 20-inch: 2GHz - 1GB of RAM - 250GB hard drive - GMA X3100 graphics - possibly no Bluetooth or Apple Remote 20-inch: 2.2GHz - 1GB of RAM - 400GB ha…

Here's my inclination for the MacBook Pro update if it's anything more than a CPU bump: 15-inch: 2.2GHz - 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo - 2GB RAM - 160GB hard drive - 8X Superdrive - 256MB Mobility Radeon HD 2600 - LED-backlit display (possibly higher …

Apple has so far only said it would take photos. It could in theory take video since the CPU is probably fast for a phone, but you may be forced into taking MPEG-4 clips. I can't imagine live H.264 encoding is realistic.
