Interesting, if true. What about a new Mac mini?
The MacBook update shouldn’t be anything earth-shattering – I’m not sure it will be a “new MacBook”, more likely an updated one.
I wouldn’t hold my breath regarding the mini. The latest version came out fairly recently.
2 rumors = confirmation?
MacPro, MacPRO, MACPRO.
I can’t wait til Jan 08. I need it this year for a tax write-off.
Well, if that would be true, then there is a 24h Oportunity to get a iPod AND a new MacBook (Special offer includes 30th of October)… I don’t belief so, perhaps after the iPod-Special-Offer-Action, and that doesn’t necessarily mean: Tomorrow

About the X3100:
I would be very lucky to have this Videochip inside, but why should Apple do so? This would reduce the span between MacBook Pro and MacBook significantly.
I belief, that the Drivers are for the MacMini. A MacMini with a more advanced Grafic-Chip wouldn’t be a concurent for the iMac.
Just my 2cent

Wow, my new Santa Rosa MacBook feels “snappier”!!
Well there’s a German site called http://guut.de which is a clone of the U.S. “woot.com” and it is selling MacBooks today.
@Marcel,
The x3100 is better than the 950, but it still rates below average as a video solution, at least per the reviews I’ve read.
“… by the first half of November”.
Don’t know about the Apple Store near you, but the three near me are doing great business based on the Leopard release. What would another release so soon bring to the table? OK, two weeks from tomorrow … things will have settled down after Leopard but not yet started revving up for the holidays. Not that the latter is a major concern, just something to consider.
Dave
Yepp, I know this shop. But it shouldn’t be rated to high. They could think like “There are rumors about new MacBooks… Time to get the “old” ones away”.
guut.de makes such special offers every day, with different things, I don’t belief, they have insider-infos.
Topic X3100:
Ok, just found my mistake, I thought MBPro comes only with a 8400, but was wrong, it comes with a 8600. And so there is a significant difference.
According to Dave, I think that Apple first wants Leopard to be the hype, so why kick the cat from the top of the pyramid so soon?
Considering OS X is engineering more and more of its work via the video cards, Apple should be committed to supplying whichever cards are considered the best in the appropriate price levels of Macs. That goes for VRAM as well. It’s not just the CPU.
What in the hell happened to the OSX Tiger update???
boop, patience, that may come tomorrow as well. Personally, I think Apple didn’t want to release X.4.11 with Leopard. Plus, being the final Tiger release, I’d rather wait for them to get it right as I have a couple of machines that can’t be upgraded to Leopard and this will be there last “major” update besides security issues.
Crap, just bought a new Macbook for my mom on Saturday, with my $100 iPhone coupon.
What in the hell happened to the OSX Tiger update???
I was thinking the same… But maybe they’re figuring out what the most common upgrade issues are so that they can pre-fix those on Tiger machines. Makes sense, no?
I would really like some MacBook Pro updates… A whole design overhaul would be nice, it’s not as attractive as it used to be.
MACPRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED ONE MACPRO RIGHT NOW AND I DONT WANT BUY THE MOST RECENT OF APPLE STORE, FOR SEE 1 MONTH LATER A NEW ONE! I CAN KILLE ME IF THAT HAPPEND HAHA!!!

How bout first they address the first run Macbook May of 2006 widespread hard drive failures…I am on HDD # 7 now and will never buy a first run mac ever again…. Apple continues to do nothing…
I want a new MacBook for XMAS!!!

What about the Mac nano?
http://www.Free-America.com
Loru, please tell me more about this, as my first release Macbook also had the hard drive bite the bulllet a few months ago. I am disgusted about it, as I was only a month past my warranty and the kid at the Apple store said there was nothing he could do and handed me a sheet of paper with white room data recovery starting at $500 per drive…all I want are some of my time- consumed Garageband music files.
New iSight. For us Pro’s and MacMini users. Maybe a new display with one integrated.
I LOVE MY MINI! Even if it is a PPC. MINIS RULE!
Go MINI!!!!

Hey Boo Boo Bear, Go to the Apple discussions, go to Macbook, and type in “hard drive failure”…
My sympathy goes out to the Apple Retail Stores who will have to deal with people like Steve, if the rumors are true.
Let the whining begin.
Personally, I think it will be a waste to even invest in a MacBook at this point if the only updated is a new chipset and upgraded graphics. The two largest problems with MacBooks right now are the monitor lighting/flickering issues as well as cracking of the casing. If tomorrow will bring the brushed aluminum casing along with the updated chipset, great. Hopefully Apple has been working to square away the display issue as well. I can tell you as a MacBook owner who works full time on it, the brushed aluminum sturdiness is well worth the extra money when your case starts to take a beating and it cracks (not to mention the display).
I can’t see them releasing a new Macbook without redesigning it to be silver metal or multiple color choices.
All white looks to be no longer fashionable in the minds of Apple.
Black and white are sooo yesterday…
I doubt the rumor. Especially since it didn’t come from a drunken high level executive from a chinese multinational.
If you want a really good Apple rumor, you have to hang out at karaoke bars in Singapore during coin beer night…
Screw the MacBooks, they are slow and have annoying glossy screens which are just about useless to use.
Now I have been using a MacBook Pro with matte screen for a few months, my Dual 2 Processor G5 PowerMac was in storage.
Well I just got to fire up my Dual 2 Processor PowerMac G5 with a boot RAID 0 pair of Raptor 10,000 RPM drives and 30″ Display yesterday.
HOLY FSCKING SHEET IS IT FAST!!!
It make my new MacBook Pro with Intel Duo Core processors SLOW AS HELL in comparision. The Dual 2 G5 even boots faster, the entire Finder is loaded in mere seconds!!!
Ok, understandably it is the RAID 0 as a boot drive and not upgrading the OS that has kept this machine fast as lightning.
But also the fact that the Dual 2 G5 processor has a VERY LARGE BUS PER PROCESSOR. Unlike the Intel Processors which each core has to share a slow bus.
Now for CPU intensive tasks the Intel Cores may due a better job on large jobs, but to get data in and out of processors fast, to hard drives and graphic cards, to run multiple 3D games at once, you can’t beat a large bus on seperate processors.
Now I have tried the new Mac Pro’s, with a RAID 0 as boot as well, intensly multitasking the machine. It just doesn’t do it, programs crash and freeze up. It’s because the data is trapped in the cores behind a slow bus on the Intel Processors.
So let this be a message to those going to spend the big bucks and tweak out their MacPro’s and 3D game with it.
You better off 3D gaming with a PS3, that’s the honest truth. It’s designed for 3D gaming and has a extrememly powerful 9 core processor. A hell of a lot cheaper too, and you can hook it up to a large HDTV to ge the big screen experience.
Meanwhile I’m not upgrading the OS or anything on my Dual 2 G5, not hooking it to the internet as I got a laptop for that. This will keep the G5, and all the programs I need, running as fast as possible for a long time, until the hardware gives out.
How about an update to the Mac Pro. nVidia 7300s…how old are those?
Where are the invites?
Ummm, it’s tomorrow since this drivel was orignally posted and new MacBooks shamelessly rumored. Guess what? No new MacBooks, loser. Keep trying, you’re bound to be right some day!
