“According to sources, the wheels are in motion for Apple to deliver new MacBook updates as early as this Tuesday. While an exact date has been hard to determine, MacBook updates are expected within the next week, with evidence pointing to Tuesday,” arn reports for Mac Rumors.
“This confirms previous rumors from ThinkSecret that Apple would introduce a new MacBook by ‘the first half of November,'” arn reports.

And maybe a new Mini as well. That would be nice.
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 ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
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 ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
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.

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.
