Boxes of MacBooks Arrive at Apple Stores

Thursday November 1, 2007 12:22 am PDT by Arnold Kim
We've heard multiple reports that shipments of MacBooks have made their way to Apple Stores with specific instructions that they are not to be opened. While it was originally presumed that these new MacBook shipments simply represented MacBooks with Leopard pre-installed, the instructions not to open the boxes raises some questions.

We've heard various (conflicting) claims that they represent the upgraded MacBooks we've been waiting for, but we're not sure why Apple would ship them out so early.

I can't believe they're anything other than minor updates. I suspect:[LIST]
[*]Santa Rosa, plus the associated speed and graphics bumps;
[*]Maybe LED backlit screens;
[*]Super-drive as standard across the range would be nice, as would price drops! :D[/LIST]It wouldn't make sense for Apple to do anything more at this time. The MacBook is still a hot & trendy product, and the Leopard release will already be giving it a sales boost.

Steve will be saving any major laptop updates (aluminium, touch screen, ultra-thin, magic trackpad, gold-plated, whatever) for the Expo in January.

I'd wish they'd introduce the 12" again:(
The 13" is small, compared to a 15" MBP, ut it just doesn't feel small enough!
Anyone with me?

Apple is pretty good with timing, so I'm guessing this is not simply the delayed arrival of Leopard-based MacBooks.

I agree. There would not be this much secrecy if it was just a speedbump. It's not just "delayed leopard" macbooks.

I am satisfied with the current lineup, I just would like to get newer for my money. I'd take a CPU/GPU and LED screen.
