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*hugs his soon-to-be-outdated MacBook* :(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

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
