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*hugs his soon-to-be-outdated MacBook* :(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

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).
