Merom in MacBook and MacBook Pros in September?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the time-to-upgrade-already dept.

Kevin C. Tofel writes "If you want to see where the computer industry is going, you often have to watch the computer component manufacturers, and that's just what DigiTimes did. AsusTek and Quanta both produce Apple notebooks and sources appear to have just revealed that September is the month for 64-bit Merom CPUs in the MacBook and MacBook Pro line."

    "First, by the time you need more than 4GB of RAM, you'll also need a faster processor"

    Why?

    "your laptop will obsolete in several other ways "

    Well, it's a good thing we've got you to make these decisions for us.

    "Most laptops only have 2 slots, so even if you did want to put more than 4GB in it, you couldn't."

    And I'm certain that that will never, ever change.

    What are you after here? Did a laptop with more than 4gb of RAM touch you in your bathing suit place?
