There could still be a MacBook coming in the next few days. There's not really any solid evidence to suggest that there will/won't be a MacBook.
Yeah, that wouldn't be good for circulation...buryyourbrideau said:yea keep crossing.
but dont hold your breath.
I halfway expected to wake up this morning with "Apple Store Down" threads all over the place. And new MacBooks in the store.

September! Dude i can expect them by september too. But i don't want to wait that long, if you said april that would be a different story.
I'm pretty sure he was just joking here. Obviously September was a safety blanket. Hell, we might even see the next PowerMac at least introduced by then.lamina said:
For what it's worth, I think April or May at the latest... They want to get them out and in the hands of students and educators. Wait to long and they will miss the market. I see a quiet update on the website, not a media event, that introduces the MacBook.

Hope its soon i'm in need of a laptop. But don't want to spend 800 on a use 12 powerbook. Hopefully they'll make a new 12 powerbook, something small and cheap but current. Can't hold on much longer.
in two minuetes the macbook pro will be released.
it's really opinions, theories, rumors, and speculation. it's rarely reliable.
my estimate is that it's in May.
10 months for update is pretty reasonable. the update for the powerbook from april 2004 to january 2005 took 10 months too. so it is a reasonable time.
oh, how about this: when windows vista is released, or the phantom gaming console is released.

You really gotta learn to understand the definition of Rumors.mashinhead said:
There is always someone on this site that claims that Apple is gonna release the latest and greatest on whatever date seems somewhat significant.
I say June probably. I say there's no doubt they are going to be updated, it's just a waiting game at this point.
What's the name of this website?mashinhead said:
rumor : noun : a currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth
Waiting until June would be a very BAD decision. Many students receive a laptop as their High School Graduation present, which is usually sometime in the beginning of June.
Apple should release them in early May at the latest.
