Black and white MacBooks tomorrow?

ThinkSecret, that paragon of truthiness, is reporting that tomorrow Apple will announce the MacBook (Intel iBooks to you) sporting a slimmer case and a 13.3 inch widescreen. They also mention that it will cost slightly more than the old G4 model.

Only time will tell if this rumor is correct, but I find it strange that there was no mention of a builtin iSight and FrontRow.

What other features do you hope the new MacBooks have?

Gosh, all you whiners. $1099 ain't all that much diff from $999. Or $799. Stop eating at Subway for 2 weeks and you won't notice at all. Furthermore, #7, Andy, perhaps taking a peek at Monday's AppleInsider.com article aptly named 'Apple's Intel Mac mini sales surprise analysts', despite the $100 price hike, might be confusing to you, but I suppose that's understandable in a world full of truthiness.

Actually I was talking about the ones that continue to haunt iBook G4 users up to this very day.

What logic board issues, the ones that were fixed on the G3 iBooks three years ago?

I'll be happy if Apple is able to put it's iBook logic board issues to rest with the new intel architecture.

Correction to post 29:
It was reported as a seminar to demo the new iBook.

Engadget pulled a post that said Apple was running a seminar on Wednesday. It looked fishy, said it was at a CompUSA store.

Blogs shouldn't pull without saying why.

Lower prices will not happen. The Intel chips, even if their prices are reduced by half, are far more expensive than the run-down G4s that they are replacing. The best one could hope for is the same pricing, but even then, I think that we'd be complaining about the product and why it's so cheaply built.

The mini's price wasn't raised 'just because,' but because the chips that power them are ridiculously expensive. That's the price you pay for cutting edge technology, especially when replacing years old stuff.

I'm hoping for teleportation, built in ATM functionality, built-in dye sublimation printer, and organic LED display with dual backlight.

What? You asked what I was hoping for, no mention of being within reason...

You want to pay more money for a product so that other people won't use it? Now that's dedication to your platform. ;)
