Apple advertising the Macbook (iBook)?
Melablog.it notices that Apple appears to be advertising under the keyword "MacBook" in Google.it's search results.
The top sponsored result returns the title "Macbook" and a link to the Italy Apple Store. This is not necessarily interesting in itself, but it describes the "Macbook" as starting at 999.
No MacBook Pro starts that low, and the current iBook starts at 1049 in the Italy Apple Store.
(Of note, the Google ad has now been changed from "Macbook" to "MacBook Pro".)

Was there macbook or macbook pro? in the second case, I guess it's a typo:o
Otherwise, I hope we can expect the iBook within a few weeks:)

It seems the process of preparing for a web centric product release is so complicated that even a company as sophisticated as Apple cannot keep track of every little detail prior to the official release.
Someone should write some software or something :)

If it is real then we probably will see the Macbooks at the April 1st event.
The slightly lower price would be very welcome, too (I always thought the intel chips were at least 100 $ more, that would lower Apples Margin a lot).

That's quite cheap, and like plinden says, it's less likely to be a typo if it's nothing like the macbook pro price.

1259Euros would make me think it's a typo.
I reckon this is a real leak, I don't see anything that says otherwise. (Edit: Unless the web site itself has just fed me a photoshopped image)Integrated graphics would keep the price lower ...
With a price this low, I hope it's not a Pentium M.The google translated (poor) article is here: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://www.melablog.it/post/1620/su-google-tracce-di-un-macbook-a-999e

Just in case anyone hasn't looked, the current 12" iBook is selling on the Apple Italy store for €1049.
Edit: Sorry - the translated page makes that quite clear. Didn't see that.

Yet another slip up. Most items seem to be "announced" before they actually are, anymore. Here's to hoping Apple releases something unexpectedly that most of us like (of course there will always be someone to complain about something, like I am doing in this post :))
