Apple Notebook Media Event October 14th.

I am really really really glad I didn't buy a macbook last winter/spring.

These new ones look kickass and what they come with....I MUST get one of these this summer haha.

[CPressland]

And on that note, does anyone still use "Mouse Buttons" on a touchpad? I've not for years.

Store is dying from demand :p

[Quillz]

Wow, both the MacBook and MacBook Pro are nice. The MacBook Air isn't bad, either, now that the same price will get you a 128 GB SSD.

[what]

So the price drop on the white plastic Macbooks means that we now pay ?20 more (?699 > ?719).

And Apple reckon that a entry-level metal Macbook with a stupid glossy screen that you can't use outside priced at ?949 is going to rock the market here.

Yeah right.

I might phone them tomorrow to ask what the **** Steve was on today.

Anyone know when Apple Stores get demo units up for display? (preferably Canadian stores)

[PyX]

I'm wondering the same thing. I really need a laptop for my exam on the 23... but at this price point, I want to see it before. And I want to know about the right click as well. I'm not control clicking everywhere, that's clear in my head.

[guruparan]

I didnt see much big in this event...but Apple is doing great in there products! (Y)

[houlty]

uk store is up

Use two fingers on the touchpad :)

uk store is up

It's been up for a while, albeit slow, but the education store is still down

[PyX]

Ohhhh I see. I skipped that part of multitouch a little on engadget, or maybe they just didn't write it... Well that clears a point in my head.

Now :

- High prices

- Bad university rebates

- What's going to happen with my iMac

- I'll have to install Undercover for sure... I'll need some reviews for this before. And also, if it gets stolen, how much will be covered by the insurance.

[PowerOutageBaby]

Who the hell do they think they're kidding with those prices for macbooks. What a disgrace. Hope sales are low. I know Apple has that extra something that justifies some of the price but it's just getting ridiculous.

[Quillz]

omg just saw all the updates, that was some F5 Mania, they sure do write damn fast (every time i F5'ed something else :p)

that display looks like a piece of crap tho, rest is fine, doesn't matter to me anyway.

kinda evil how they picked on vista, that was freakin cruel lol, they pointed vista vista is why we're so good, makes them sound not so good but only an cheap alternative.

Apple picking on Microsoft... What else is new? But hey, it's comforting to know that Vista runs far better than Leopard on Mac hardware. Apple may make good hardware, but they still aren't as good at making software.

[WigglesTheFish]

I am impressed with the look of the new MacBook and the graphic performance. Of course I am not looking to replace my current MacBook for a long time... :(

[Neztea]

Great presentation, and its totally great products they released :)

[CPressland]

A bit pricey :'(

[chrischua83]

The mac book just similar tot he Vaio F series.

[Brandon]

Apple blew it. They didnt do anything to the $999 macbook. They needed to update it to the new X4500MHD, but its now already outdated.

Hackintosh, here I come

[PyX]

Canadian store is down once again.... better educational prices ? :|

Impossible, but one can still hope.

[Xero]

Ugh, why the hell did they make the new Cinemas glossy. That is the biggest pile of **** I've ever seen. The name Cinema would lead you to believe it would be ideal for watching movies. Anyone with a glossy screen knows that its reflective surface makes for horrible dark scenes in movies. I was hoping they would show some intelligence and offer it with a matte finish for the monitors. Dammit apple, way to screw everyone because of their obsession with making things shiney.
