Apple Notebook Media Event October 14th.


Recommended Posts

I've been thinking of either getting an iMac or MacBook Pro and giving my MacBook to my wife. Depending on what happens next Tuesday, that will influence by purchase. If they change the MB to aluminum I hope they don't change the MBP too much - I like the current look.

Looking forward to the event, I am excited to see what they are coming out with. I switched to Apple at the beginning of the semester (I got my pretty white Macbook) so I won't be upgrading for a while but I am excited to see what they are going to do next.

*hugs his soon-to-be-outdated MacBook* :(

GPU for the MacBooks maybe? :D

Yeah, I'm sure there will be nVidia cards in the next iteration of MacBooks. Apple would be silly not to, what with Photoshop now supporting GPU Acceleration, and things like that.

There is a way to find out wether we're getting alm. macbooks or not.

Someone measure the size of the apple logo on the MBP.

Also note the size ratio compared to the overall width of the MBP.

Measure the apple logo in the ad. Calculated it should give you the size of a 13" or a 15".

Problem solved.

Only problem is photoshopness or perspective of course. But it's worth a shot.

The much-expected apple event of next week has been officially confirmed. Invitations are supposedly already being mailed.

It's worth mentioning that this event will feature laptops as the main item. Link goes to appleinsider's page.

Considering how long people have been waiting for a true MacBook Pro refresh, wouldn't it be interesting if Steve Jobs revealed the new MacBook models and then... BOOM! The keynote is over.

I shall be getting a new one as soon as they're released :D

+1!

After owning PC's my whole life it's finally time to get a MBP! I can't wait!!!

Too bad I can't step away from Windows just yet...damn you Pro/E... :pinch:

No the rumours where that the "brick" was a slab of aluminium with each macbook being machined from that "brick".

I dont think the Macbooks will get a dedicated GPU, they will probably be upgraded to the Montevina platform with GMA X4500.

They meant Nvidia GPUs not chipsets, the Macbook is Apples bottom of the line notebook i dont think they would put a dedicated nvidia GPU without a price hike, the Macbook will stay with integrated GMA. There would be no point in buying a Macbook Pro then since they use 8xxx series Nvidia GPU as well.

"They" meaning the rumours or the comments in this thread?

If you mean the rumours, those were suggesting nvidia chipsets

TUAW believes that the upcoming MacBooks will indeed be powered by NVIDIA chipsets and will be delivered on October 14th.

But the more often I read your post, the more I suppose you meant previous comments in which case I totally agree with you: No dedicated GPU in the bottom line MacBook. *Perhaps* in the new BlackBook.

I don't see GPU-powered-MacBook sales eating into MacBook Pro sales, though. Bigger screen-size and an even better GPU would be enough reasons for going Pro.

What I see is :

- MacBook Event : 3 brand new MacBook lines : MB, MBP and MBA. Then, there is a slight chance that we see a quick overview of iLife 09 and iWork 09.

- MacWorld : Cinema Displays, finally...

- Somewhere in December, without any special event : new iMacs.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
    • Macbook Air is an appealing option, as are plethora of Windows devices with various different CPU's
    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
