The rumors were true folks. Apple is staging an invitation-only Town Hall event in Cupertino next Tuesday, October 14th at 10AM PDT. It's absolutely safe to say they'll be showing off new laptops... and you know we'll be there live! Will this be an unveiling of a whole new form factor? Will this "Brick" mystery be put to bed? Will they come in rainbow colors? Tune in to find out.
Yay!

(read/sing in the tune of the k9 advantix commercial)
Engadget is covering an Apple Event? Thanks for telling me, for a second there I thought maybe you guys weren't.
Thats not even clever.
@imac matt 09....very nice!
Actually imacmatt09, it's Allan Sherman - Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp). You probably weren't even born yet.
@ o rly
I figured that it was some other song but more people probably would know the tune from the commercial than the song alone. And yeas that was way before my time.
'It's not like your Surfin Bird record walked away... well, my Allan Sherman record walked away'
So then you weren't around for this either:

Actually, o rly, it's from Ponchinelli's La Gioconda - it's called "The Dance of the Hours".
Definitely before your time ;)
"(read/sing in the tune of the k9 advantix commercial)"
Really? You've never heard of "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh"? Poor Allan Sherman.
And of course I make the fatal mistake of replying before refreshing. Argh.
Regardless of where it came from
it still gave me a good lol
Actually vnangia@uchicago.edu, the tune is from Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours, however, the lyrics/lines that imacmatt09 is "remixing" / referring to (re: advantix commerical) are from "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh."
Yes, I'm nitpicking.
This has been the most pointless set of comments I have ever seen.
@ o rly
Dude, there the same tune.
ok now i have to change my pants
jupiterthunder, dude, they're as in they are. The lyrics are still to "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh."
Yes, even more nitpicking.
Allen, Ponchielli, Crest ... blar. -- I liked his remix, but still the marijuana version comes to mind when I hear the tune.
Then again, I still think "batman smells" when I hear jingle bells.
YES! Can't wait. Its about time!
And I just got my macbook in June.... Should have waited.
@Mehul - Don't worry. I think this update concerns the MacBook Pro's which haven't been updated in god knows how long. Your MacBook should still be up to date come Nov. 14th.
Hehe, I'm feeling very smug right now because I was going to buy my first apple laptop a couple weeks ago but decided to wait :D
Err, actually. The Macbook and the Macbook Pro got their last update simultaneously. So they will probably be updating the both of them. You can check at http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Air
@mehul and konstantin
the macbooks should go aluminium like the pros.
Koo
beautiful
Amazing!!! Pre-order one for me!!!
I hope its not too expensive. and its around 10" inch to 13" inch !!!
Same day as Canadian elections eh?
Yep. For my part, I voted already and got Vaio Z. Got tired of waiting a year and half for Apple to release a new notebook, only to be disappointed by Air. Unveiling new stuff now is like unveiling your election platform a a week before the vote. For people still in the market, I hope it better be worth it.

That link has times for people in other parts of the world.
When the Canadian elections are on, no one outside Canada knows.
When the American ones are on, the whole word must know!
Canada has elections?
Jk...
Wohoooo!!!
SWEEET!
i love that this comment somehow got low ranked
It's gotta be the hair...
Er, what hair?
MacBook Hair
@harley3k
You sir, are a Genius
Huzzah!
Now I just need an excuse to put down the coin on a new compy... these things better make me breakfast.
Well, with the overheating that some Apple laptops have been famous for, it just may!
But actually, if they do have single-piece aluminum construction, it should actually be a lot more effective at dissipating heat away. Heatpipe from the CPU and GPU dies to the body of the laptop? Might be they way to a fanless, and therefore silent, laptop.
I hope they only announce features that should have been available in the first place and introduce nothing new.
Like what?
A DVD burner in the base MacBook model would be nice.
wait... they dont come with dvd burners?
The $1099 one just has a reader. all the other ones have dual-layer DVD burners.
hahah oh pathetic. yet another reason why not to buy a mac.
you're an idiot.
