new macbooks to come - Page 2 - iPhone 3G

Or maybe they're "strongly suggesting" they stock up for back to school promotions. This week at best buy, we're having our annual "tax exempt" weekend for back to school, and we expect to sell a LOT of macbooks... Apple is doing similar promotions too. And it's not just this weekend. In the next four weeks there are gonne be a ton of macbooks moved for back-to-school.

doesn't mean anything in my book.

I only have enought cash for the low end MBP ATM. Would saving up for the mid be worth it? Could .1 more GHz make a difference? Is the vRam in the MBP replaceable? I can easily change my hard drive for cheaper and more qaulity storage.

the vRAM is not upgradeable... i play a few games on mine, so i opted for the upgraded version. depends on what you're gonna be doin with it really...

So that means te video card is not upgradeable?

I would like to game, but not a lot. Well, I was goin to stick with a low-end Macbook! I am pretty sure the low-end MBP would deliver while gaming?

I would expect that these macbooks would be running Snow Leopard, which means they would have fewer bugs than existing OS X

I don't get the catch of having a glass trackpad unless that means an extra screen which I highly doubt. Even if it was only for design, the prices would be higher. I am just going to get a current gen MBP. I will probably buy Snow Leapord(new release or update?).

Does anyone think that the "new" Macbooks will see an increase in price or color changes

-Cause I've wanted the white Macbook so it could match the white iPhone, and if I remember correctly the cheapest Macbook-that being white- is/was like 1000+ dollars which is an awesome price for a guy on minimum wage

I'm sure they will be more expensive, but I think they will have the same price. I don't mind as much, because I think I will end up with a MacBook for my grad gift (plus it will come with free iPod, which I can sell).

They won't be running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) if they're released this year or a good part of next year. Snow Leopard is not even near being fully developed yet.
