New MacBooks [Double Question Mark]
by Chris Hardwick on September 17, 2008
I had thought it was odd that the rumor carnival that preceded Apple’s “Let’s Rock” event last week failed to include any chatter about a refreshed MacBook. They’re about due, and I had heard “Fall of This Year.” Lo and behold, today there is the much anticipated chatter. I spotted this Mac rumor on MacRumors, although I was told by someone that it also appeared on PerezHilton, but was unable to find the posting to see if there was a MacBook with a wiener drawn on it.
So far the specs are sketchy but the general consensus is that they might resemble the wafer-thin (pronounced /wah-ferthin/) Air in sleekness and aluminumnity, a fun new word I just made up.
At least this update will have cut & paste.
fall of this year would be actually be Q1 fiscal year 09.
oh boy something new for me to want and not be able to afford! huzzah and sigh… damn you, stock market crash fall-out!
unless the “aggressive entry-level price point” is like…$100, that is. I could go as high as $150 maybe.
i’ll just have to live vicariously thru this blog, methinks.
I don’t even know why I wrote “09.” It was late. I just took it out altogether. For shame…
Supposedly the new macbooks and pros might have a glass trackpad. I highly doubt they will but there have been some pretty cool mock ups on gizmodo and engadget. It seems kind of pointless but if they made it a touch screen trackpad, it would be cool to have a few icons to quick launch some apps of your choice. Hey Hardwick, are you a member of torrentleech? Hit me up if you need an invite.
Let’s hope they keep up the awesomeness that Macbooks always have. Oh, and CUT AND PASTE FTW!
Might this be it? http://tinyurl.com/3qv3ph
