Rumors have been flying around for the past two weeks surrounding the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros. John Gruber spills it all, a couple of hours before the keynote. Hopefully there is still “One more thing…” he doesn’t know about.
BTW, prepare to see Apple stock stumble during/after the keynote to last week’s low nineties as a result of the missing $800 laptop. Better put in his words:
Also notable is that the 2.1 GHz white MacBook remains in the new lineup, at a new price of $999 — technically breaking the $1000 barrier, but nowhere near the $800 price point some financial analysts have been whacking off to.
What analysts need to understand, is that Apple is no Dell or HP. The don’t sell the cheap, low margin stuff, only higher end PCs.
