New iBook Seminar? [Updated]

I expect someone at CompUSA is guessing, and ironically it's at an event posted at Apple.com :)

"most affordable iBook ever"

I doubt it. That day will come when Intel Core prices come down. But right now, the new iBook/MacBook will almost certainly cost a little MORE than the last one. Just like the Mini.

And like the Mini, it will be so much improved that it's still a great deal.

(Plus, mention of "iBook" is suspicious. Few believe that name is here to stay.)

'most affordable iBook ever' probably refers to the iminent price drop of the current iBook once the new MacBook arrives. so the events could be intertwined somehow.

I'd love to see a price drop but not at the expense of dedicated graphics. I'm not going to be the one whose complaning of a price increase as long as we keep our graphics cards.

While suggestive, CompUSA and these training sessions typically do not have any inside knowledge of upcoming products, so this is unlikely to represent a true "leak".

Well, Apple could've provided CompUSA with this "flyer" and this information; CompUSA might have nothing to do with it.

But how could this not be about the new "macbook"?! Is it fair to call the existing ibook "all new"?

3PM - 4PM EST. That would make for a 12PM PST launch of the new laptops. We get up the earliest here in the States on the East coast. Why do we have to wait? :eek:

seems strange for anyone to promote a product that is over half a year old, regardless of how affordable it may be about to become.

Exactly, "new" is used in multiple places so obviously this is not refering to the current iBook offering.

The 10th is Wed, and MacBooks are more likely Tuesday/tomorrow.

But since I've decided to be difficult and predict that they won't come until later this month, I guess I have to stand by that no matter how much it hurts! :o

Products have been unvieled on Wednesdays as well.

Someone should just call CompUSA and ask about the event. I doubt mr. part time knows what a NDA is, but may have more info.
