MacBook Speculation Increases While We Wait
For lack of any new details, a lot of speculation has focused on the "Brick" codename that was first revealed by 9to5Mac. It seems any story about a possible Apple product tries to tie it to the mysterious codename. The problem with most of these predictions is that they ignore that the origin of the name relates exclusively to the new MacBook. There seems little chance that "brick" represents a new class of product.
The July rumor that Apple may adopt alternative chipsets has recently gotten a bit of traction with speculation that Apple could adopt the NVidia chipset which is scheduled for release on October 15th.
Readers may recall that October 14th is the rumored date of the Apple notebook refresh. There have been some incorrect reports that Apple had planned some sort of announcement on September 30th, but that simply turned out to be a routine conference call with their resellers.
And no lead up to a release would be complete without likely fake spy shots which claim to depict the new MacBook Pro.

While many readers await definitive news of a MacBook update, the void of legitimate rumors have triggered ongoing speculation about the anticipated updates.

wait, if the chipset isn't going to be released until the 15th are we looking at an even later release for the macbooks?
I'm going to give it until the October 14th date that's floating around, assess the rumours and news then and then possibly make a purchase.
Here's a hunch that I admit could be totally wrong. Apple's trademark secrecy maneuvers broke down this year. Rumor sites have nailed many releases. Why? Maybe because Steve Jobs was ill and spent time away from Apple. Maybe now that Jobs is back, and furious no doubt about the leaks, he has put new measures into place to prevent them.
You can't blame Steve Jobs for wanting a few more keynotes like the iPhone in January 2007. No rumor site spoiled that announcement so the combination of surprise and a blockbuster product resulted in the best keynote ever. Are we in store for a similar keynote this month? One can only hope.
Aluminium 16:9 ratio MacBooks are coming. :D
I think in the current economic climate Apple will wait until MacWorld to make any major changes to the MacBook lines..
I'm really craving some info on upcoming MBPs. I have the cash all ready, but the way my finances are going, if the new machine doesn't show up soon I might blow the money on food or something. ;)
You must be very hungry!
