Hey
Actually Daniel has raised a good point that I forgotten was raised
in a few chats. If they did update the MacBook (Which there
guarnteeded todo before the christmas rush) then it will be par with
the MacBook Pro and technically theres very little between the two.
The MacBook Pro has better build quality and a few more features but
apart from that..
I predict that the MBP will be bumped in October/November (once stocks
of Meroms are back after the iMac rush), then MacBook bumps will be
during MacWorld SanFran in January (they need at least one hardware
announcement to pad out a 2 hour keynote!).
I'm also hoping that next week Apple announce that at least the UK
will
have tv show downloads available via iTMS. At least that will be
somewhere outside the US that will have something other than Pixar
shorts and music vids :-)
I wonder if we can take a clue from the new iMacs. Even the entry
point has Core 2 Duo, with the Intel Integrated Graphics as one of
the main differential points, so it seems quite possible that all the
laptop models could be similarly bumped. There's a Significant Apple
Event coming up on September 12 (next Tuesday), so I guess there's
still a chance Apple could announce something then. I won't stop
twitching until after that.
