MacBook Announcement Expected on Tuesday
wwhsgrad2002 writes "Both ThinkSecret and Apple Insider are reporting that Apple could hold a press conference as early as Tuesday, May 9th, to announce their new line of MacBooks. The laptop will be the Intel-based successor to the company's popular iBook line. The 13.3-inch widescreen MacBook is expected to sport Core Duo processors from Intel Corp and pack novelties such as a completely magnetic latching system, built in iSight video camera, and MagSafe power adapter. Additionally, each MacBook is expected to come bundled with Apple's Front Row and PhotoBooth software applications. A coding glitch with Apple's Web site has all but confirmed the MacBook moniker for the new consumer laptop."
And by floppies, of course, I am referring to your testicles. Be very careful when snapping your mac book shut if you aren't wearing pants.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
... and on this Tuesday Apple made announcement that they will announce on Saturday the date of the next announcement about their laptop.
I do not believe in karma. "Funny"=-6. Do good and forbid evil. Yours, Oft-Offtopic Flamebaiting Troll.
If you had your testicles in between the keyboard and the lid when you shut the machine, then I'd be very worried.
By summer it was all gone...now shesmovedon. --
how else do you cum on a chick's face?
If you're gaming most of the time at college -- hey!
Are you my brother?!
Mom says she isn't paying for you to play... or read Slashdot.
Get back to your studies!
Print outs.
Do you have any idea how far away Tuesday is?!?
This guy's the limit!
They do seem to be moving away from the brand of 'power'
Holy shit, you mean to tell me now that they no longer use powerpc chips, they are moving away from the power brand? God damn, mod parent +100 insightful.
As far as your speculation that they might just stop updating the pro desktop lines... WTF? Seriously, there's nothing else to say but WTF.
It would be nice if Apple was less focused on the US car driving market and considered releasing a sub-notebook (
Yeah! And they could call it the Newton!
The Intel i9XX vid cards are actually pretty impressive. If you can look past the shared ram, they can definitely go up against a pretty modern ATI or Nvidia card.

Laminated, obviously.

I work at Apple and can confirm that there will be Intel processors in this line-up of notebooks. Hope this valuable information helps.

Perhaps Jobs is sitting in his execs chair reading /. stroking his white cat and laughing manically as his latest plan comes together.
So that means its safe sex. Right?
At least it's better than MacBook Con. ;)
Actually, it's not a Rosetta chip. It's a Rosetta stone. For some reason, Apple decided to put a small engraved stone inside every Intel Mac. This stone is read by a very tiny scribe that lives inside the computer and translates instructions on the fly for the processor. The scribe gets bored after a couple of hours, hence the inclusion of the iSight camera on top of the screen of most of their new models to allow him to get a view of the outside world, like a periscope, and the lackluster performance of the Mac mini: the scribe can see nearly nothing, which makes him angry. He has to move to the IR receiver for the remote control to watch something else than a hard drive or his personal stone.
I'm guessing the cat is black. Otherwise you would see white cat hair on his black turtleneck sweaters at the keynotes.
If you mod me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
We use Macs and PCs. On the whole, I find PC users to be ignorant and useless, and Mac users to be arrogant and annoying.
I have to have time for both, but I wish I had time for none...
Well, even MacBook Con would be better than the MacBook Wii.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
And be rather pungent.
