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."

    ...I'm officially declaring Spring 2007 "but a new labtop" season.

    Not to be a grammar nazi or a spelling nazi or both, but only on /. could a statement such as this be "interesting"

    Finding other idiots on /. that agree with your opinion doesn't make it any less stupid.

    Core Duo is a great chip. If you're kicking yourself over getting an Intel Mac, don't. This year's Core 2 Duo Macs would be made obsolete next year anyway,
    This is such complete bullshit. At least when I was buying a PowerPC based Mac I could know that there would be 4-5 years between PowerPC generations, but now with this Intel crap my computer is obsolete the minute it rolls off the assembly line. Bring back the PowerPC!!!
