Apple aren't that sheltered that they don't know about the gaming industry's event of the year. Back seat until next week sounds sensible.

Can't wait for this mythical Macbook to rear its head!]]>May 9th 2006 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 9th 2006 5:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 9th 2006 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 9th 2006 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 9th 2006 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/
Now that's marketing!

I wouldn't be surprised someone from Apple had management approval to feed these rumor sites every once in a while.]]>May 9th 2006 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 9th 2006 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 9th 2006 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/
The've been saying the 13" MacBook will be coming out every Tuesday since freaking Feb.

Someone tell them to shut up and tell us when it happens.
All they are doing is trying to get people to go to their sucky sites once a week to click the google ads.]]>May 9th 2006 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 9th 2006 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 9th 2006 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 9th 2006 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/

So not only does he have to sell an old machine, but also essentially let everyone who signed up know that a new one is coming, but just not this week.]]>May 9th 2006 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 9th 2006 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/
A current product is not obsolete. Neither will it be when the MacBook arrives. That is like saying CDs are obsolete because we have DVDs. Or DVDs are obsolete because we have HD-DVDs and BlueRay. Laser discs, 3.5" and 5.25" floppy disc are an example of obsolete.

The iBooks and Powerbooks that you purchased a couple years ago are still functionally viable and still have bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. The only difference is that they're not as fast as newer models. ]]>May 9th 2006 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 10th 2006 2:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 10th 2006 4:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/May 10th 2006 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/
Well, it looks like it didn't happen. Imagine that!]]>May 10th 2006 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/so-how-about-that-macbook-launch/
Aside: I don't think there will be a Core Duo version. Only Core Solo. That way you avoid a lot of thermal issues while drawing a very think line between your "student" and "pro" laptop lines.
