Core 2 Duo MacBook - November 13th?

Thursday November 2, 2006 10:44 am PST by Arnold Kim
Play.com posts a product listing for a Core 2 Duo MacBook duo for release on November 13th, 2006.

The accompanying specs simply describe the current 2GHz Core Duo MacBook, however, so no additional details are available.

A release date listing of November 13th is particularly specific and in line with circulating rumors of an updated MacBook before the holiday season.

That being said, Apple resellers have never been given pre-release information for exactly this reason, which means that this information is far more likely to speculative than based on insider information.

Id much rather the macbook get a real graphics card over the core 2 duo. Oh well any bump in the lineup is a good thing.

Totally bogus, especially because a simple reseller would never get such info beforehand...and also because a change of processor would be followed by many other smaller enhancements.

FAKE.

Play.com have simply made a spelling error in the title.

Further down the page


Product Description: Apple MacBook Core Duo 2 GHz - 13.3" TFT


and also


Processor: Intel Core Duo 2 GHz ( Dual-Core )


They have clearly just decided to start selling Mac's.

There is also the fact that none of the other specs have been updated at all which makes this one the most suspicious, I would expect at the very least the Black Model to get 1GB RAM.

the specs are clearly the old ones. that being said they also sell the Core Duo MacBook on a separate page.

Well I have contacted Play.com to see if they could clarify the situation for me as I am interested in buying from them but only if its C2D (:rolleyes: ) SO we'll see what (If anything) I get back.
