MacBook pricing and part numbers?
According to posts appearing on MacRumors and BoyGeniusReport tonight, Best Buy has been receiving new part numbers and pricing for unknown devices that are shipping to stores right now. MacRumors took the part numbers and price list and came up with the following assumption for what's going to be announced during tomorrow's notebook event:- K29, MB382LL/A $899.00 - MacBook?
- M97, MB466LL/A $1,299.00 - MacBook
- M97, MB467LL/A $1,599.00 - MacBook
- M96, MB543LL/A $1,799.00 - MacBook Air
- M96, MB940LL/A $2,499.00 - MacBook Air
- M98, MB470LL/A $1,999.00 - 15" MacBook Pro
- M98, MB471LL/A $2,499.00 - 15" MacBook Pro
- M88, MB766LL/A $2,799.00 - 17" MacBook Pro
What do you think about this pricing rumor? My personal feeling is that the numbers are valid, considering they're appearing this close to a major event. Leave your comments below.

Hope the $800 one is a noce little netbook like MacBook....
Or else I would have to go for an EeePC or something........
I don't know if it's true, but I hope so! I didn't think I'd be able to buy another laptop when my Powerbook died (I have a new iMac for my main computer), but at $899 I might be able to swing it.

- either the $800 could be base and then for $900 - $950 you get to step up to the next model.
- or the $800 would be the 10"-11" MacBook
Sounds like neither will be the case.
K29, MB382LL/A $899.00 - MacBook nano

These might all be correct, but I think there will also be more announced as well - this could simply be the ones that BestBuy are going to stock, not the full lineup - which would also explain why some of the numbers don't match up, the K and M etc.
I know there are 12 new stock numbers (or so my informant at the apple store told me). So where are the other 4? Do you think they are just configuration options for some of these 8 products? Or do you think will we have 4 new products announced tomorrow (along with the ones already spoiled by best buy)?
Can't wait till 10am!
We will actually know in a few hours -aye!
So, I will not only not speculate or mentally mast-ur-bait (misspelling intentional) here nor will I even try to guess what will happen with the dangling chads in November....
;)
This comment was brought to you by the number 8 and the letter K. Hmmmmm. K. K..... M is for Mac....K is for.......what could K stand for? Keychain? Kinetic? Kernal? Karma? Koolaid? hmmmmm. ahhhh. The suspense!
