It must be a slow news day? I agree with Jason (this is becoming a
bad habit) that this is just too speculative. What with the economy and
the MS ads, why add ultra high things like OLED. My feeling is that
many in the Mac world want constant releases of products to blunt the
negativity surrounding Job's health.
As a Mac user, 24" iMac, I am not in need of new hardware at this
point. My iMac has the 2.8 Core 2 Duo Extreme cpu with 4 gig of
RAM. It still has 2 years left on the Apple Care Plan. My wish-list
centers around Snow Leopard. I lean more toward software
improvements via free updates. Did you Windows guys see that?
Yeah, a Mac user who likes free stuff!
Maybe after my HP laptop dies I might look for a MBP replacement. I
wish that MS guy in the ad would give me the laptop challenge. I
would be the first person to buy a used or refurb'd MBP ... LOL
I’m filing this one squarely in the rumor category but a source at 9-to-5 Mac claims that Apple is planning “minor” updates to MacBooks and MacBook Pros at WWDC which runs from June 8-12 in San Francisco.
He said he wasn’t sure what the minor upgrade was but there was speculation that there might be some sort of 3G hardware built-in and/or speed bumps. Perhaps even non-removable batteries on the smaller sized laptops. Again, that part is just speculation at this time.
The story was updated today (via The Register) saying that the MacBook Pro could get an OLED option:
An LG staffer has made the very bold claim that 15in Apple notebooks equipped with OLED displays will appear within months… the mole added that once Apple’s unveiled its 15in OLED notebook, LG will then launch its own standalone 15in OLED panels later in the year.
The 9-to-5 source also said to expect a “big” Pro apps update which we could assume will include Final Cut Pro, Aperture, Logic and Shake.
