Oh - did I tell you? Steve Jobs called and told me that they were updating the entire laptop line to c2d chips.

OMG We have the same last name!

Good idea leaking through Switzerland, I don't think Apple's NDA gestapo has claws in a neutral country. Then again, salesmen will promise anything :P

I doubt this is true, because i was talking to the boss at the Apple Store London and he said they will be out on 24th, he is gonna give me a ring once they come in, i thinks friday is when he will get his shipment to go on sale tues, i will let you know if i get a call on friday.

...because a couple months down the road, you're more likely to remember HDD/RAM size than X.XX Ghz Core X Duo blah blah.

The former is what you use; the later is what the machine uses.]]>Oct 17th 2006 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/Oct 17th 2006 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/
Not to mention, if everyone runs around Cupertino with the cone of silence permanently affixed to their heads, why on earth would sales folks know? I think it's the same thing that's going around all over the net... one rumor site drops a Mentos into the soda pop of the web and before you know it, the game of telephone takes on a life of its own and is used to confirm the rumor it was based on to begin with.

Entry level = older processor.

BTW, those of you that say the Core 2 Duo is standard already.... not necessarily. There are STILL notebooks that are sold with Celeron chips. Remember that the MacBook is to be the entry level Mac notebook. A Core Duo is hardly entry level... compared to a Celeron.]]>Oct 17th 2006 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/
Whatever it is, they need to hurry and get this done. I've got a Vaio on my shopping list that I'm ready to take the plunge on if they can't make this happen in the next couple weeks.

What I'm saying is they should use a full keyboard like they do with their desktops, since it's a 17" model they have the space to tack on the numeric keypad. 109 instead of 78 keys - all the way to the edge like the 12" PowerBook did.]]>Oct 17th 2006 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/Oct 17th 2006 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/Oct 17th 2006 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/
i will decide whether i want it or not when it's out - i just sold my powerbook and i am looking for a replacement mac.

but this time around i will wait at least 45 days after it's released and scour the forums for any problems before making a decision. it's true that mac users are a particularly picky bunch but the last few releases were plagued by problems. it should also be said that Apple has taken care of all of them, in due time.]]>Oct 17th 2006 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/Oct 17th 2006 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/Somebody from the ETH Zürich?
So in their student bargain-sale(Neptun http://www.neptun.ethz.ch/ ) they sell the "old" Core Duo just before the new Core 2 Duo are released?]]>Oct 17th 2006 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/
And their "Apple Models Fall 2006" were announced only 4-5 days before the project kicked off (few months after the sales window was set).
What's more is this messsage
* Specifications and prices listed may change up until the opening of the sales window.

Quite a conservative act! (those shrewd swiss)

Didn't PC Magazine test Core Duo vs Core 2 Duo in PC laptops and conclude that for most things C2D was only about 7% faster..?]]>Oct 17th 2006 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/

Have you actually used a notebook with a built-in numeric keypad?

I *really* dislike this arrangement on notebook computers. Makes for awful ergonomics - it means the keyboard isn't centered and your typing position is all screwed up. I'd bet my car that Apple will never produce a laptop with this arrangement for precisely this reason.

I would absolutely never consider purchasing a machine with that setup. If you've used such a setup and enjoyed it, more power to you, but I think most people asking for such a setup have never actually tried typing on such a beast!]]>Oct 18th 2006 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/will it be false advertising or a wonderful surprise.]]>Oct 20th 2006 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/Oct 19th 2006 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/Oct 19th 2006 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/Oct 20th 2006 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/Oct 20th 2006 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/core-2-duo-macbook-and-macbook-pro-due-this-november/Nov 8th 2006 9:14PM
