Apple jumps the gun on new MacBooks

For days, the Internet's rumor mill has been screaming about Apple's new MacBook laptops. Of course, everyone's been screaming "next week" when, in fact, Apple just officially dropped the new MacBook Pro models today at about 8:30 EDT.

What's so special about these new MacBooks? They've got the latest and greatest Intel processor: the Core 2 Duo (in 2.16GHz and 2.33GHz flavors, if you're curious). Both 15- and 17-inch screens are available, and there are all the usual Apple goodies, like a built-in iSight camera and an Apple Front Row remote control for playing music, photos, and videos.

If the sound of a new MacBook makes you immediately reach for your credit card, keep in mind there are three models to choose from. You can get the 15-inch version with the 2.16GHz CPU for $1,999 or the 2.33GHz CPU for $2,499--or splurge for the 17-inch, 2.33GHz model for $2,799.

As of now, the 15-inch models should ship in 2 to 4 days, while the 17-inch will take 7 to 10 days.

re: macworld

One thing you have to learn about apple is that there's always a cloud of rumors surrounding their products. Plenty of things could be announced at macworld ranging from updates to any one of their computers, to the 3 year iPhone rumor, all the way to specific details on the new iTV that is supposed to be launching. Don't forget that leopard is due in the spring as well.

As for your video blogging, I'd suggest getting an iMac. Those are wonderful machines.

iTV/Mac mini upgrades

Its gonna be dedicated to iTV and the minis will be upgraded as well. A true
video iPod may also debut to go with the iTV. Throw in iLife 07 and you have a
keynote.
