Apple has posted a streaming video of today's October 2008 event featuring a keynote by Steve Jobs and the introduction of new MacBook notebooks. The company has also posted a MacBook video that highlights the re-engineering that went into design the "uni-body" MacBook.
Apple held a media event today focused on their notebook line, and made quite a few announcements about product updates and a new cinema display. Unfortunately for iPhone fans, there was no iPhone news to speak of at this event.
The MacBooks get the biggest overhaul with new aluminum enclosures, an LED-backlit screen, a backlit keyboard, and better graphics. The MacBook Pros also get better graphics in the form of a new Nvidia GPU, new enclosures, and an LED-backlit display. Both lines get and the new Mini Display Port and a new glass trackpad that can recognize additional finger gestures and that is a button in itself. These new models will be available in stores tomorrow.
The Apple Store has gone down in preparation for what most expect will be announcements of new notebooks. Images have been leaking througout the Interwebs, most notable have been major changes design to the MacBook Pro.
Rumors abound regarding the new "brick" process and the announcement of new notebooks from Apple. Those rumors proved true as Apple has sent invites to attend a Town Hall event in Cupertino next Tuesday. Still no word on whether these will be MacBooks, MacBook Pros or perhaps a new low-cost $800 notebook. We do know it's next Tuesday at 10AM PST, so stay tuned.
