Apple Notebook Media Event October 14th.

I can't believe they can't propose a 17" MBP yet. That rumor was one of the funniest IMO, and it's actually true...

If he said "here is the 17" blah blah, available in a month", fine. But not proposing it at all ? :s

Anyway, I want him to talk about MBs now. No more of this MBA and MBP circus :p

[Unto Darkness]

SHOOT! No backlit keyboard on Macbook! DAMN!

[CY:G]

awesome, for a second there, i thought they were not updating the Macbook

[Ayepecks]

Scha-weet! The MacBook is getting the same treatment as the MacBook Pro... I think I may have found my next laptop :D

That would have been a horrible end to a very long wait. Thank god for uni discounts!

[sundayx Veteran]

I guess the 13" and 15" are the sellers, so there's less emphasis on the 17".

[tunafish]

thank god for teacher discount and no VAT, this is going to be some epic discount for me :) oh yes!

[Unto Darkness]

YEAASSS!! Backlit Keyboard! <3 Apple

SHOOT! No backlit keyboard on Macbook! DAMN!

Only on the $1599 Model =/

[ritsuke Veteran]

My Air is going bye bye for that new MacBook.

-drool-

[CY:G]

ahhh the new macbook is still too expensive, i was expecting < $1000, oh well

[chaos_disorder]

$1299 and $1599 for the new MacBooks? Good God man.

[tronmaster]

$2500 for a P9400, 4GB RAM, 9400/ 9600, and 320GB hard drive.... that's a little steep. You can buy a comparable laptop for at least $1000 less.

Kinda hard to be a comparible laptop, when these are the first to use the two new Nvidia chips, and has features that some or no other laptop has i.e. LED screen, aluminium case, glass trackpad, displayport, and of course the Leopard OS.

I am disappointed that most of the rumors were true except the Blu-ray drive.

[sundayx Veteran]

I think I see how the touch button glass multi-touch pad might eventually hit the iPhone...

I second that... *Prepares to kill Kevin Rose*

[tunafish]

why oh why cant apple release a laptop with a finger print reader, i mean god those things are usefull, the lenovos have them sony vios have them and a few others.

[PyX]

Yeah, uni discounts will be seriously needed.

But at this price point, I'll be freaking scared to bring it on the bus and in the subway... :-\

I wanted this 4GB for sure, so I'll have to go for the high-end model now... which wasn't my plan before. Also, I'm going to sell my iMac and buy another one in like 10 months, so I think I'd need that 250GB of storage once again. I'm flush with that.

[Ayepecks]

The $1599 is actually a pretty good deal IMO.

[CPressland]

MacBook for sale :p

I'm going to be ordering my new one as soon as I can sell this one. It's teh sex!!!!

Albeit the only thing it has over my current MacBook is the metal casing, faster processor, DDR3 memory and 9400 chipset.

[crazzyyfool]

That manufacturing process looks simply awesome.

Oh, and my MBP is now for sale :p

[Unto Darkness]

So Macbook + 2" + 9600 + $400 = Macbook pro [$1999]? Okay..

[JoHideo]

Can anyone chime in on if it possible to sign up for ADC (Apple Developer Connection) for a discount on these new laptops and how one could go about doing that to get signifcant discount?

[sanctified Veteran]

I will get the new MBP as soon as the store is updated. Hopefully I qill find a buyer for my current MBP for the end of the week.

[rajputwarrior]

those are ugly, thank god i have the white macbook. I'm keeping this baby forever

[KeR]

Nothing unexpected. The Notebooks are upgrades on existing ones but nothing to salivate over, as the price is just ridiculous. I was going to sell my MacBook Air but will keep it now as there is no real reason to upgrade.
