The only time you buy a new apple is when they announce them. Otherwise you just never know when something new will come out.

If they don't announce on the 20th I have to do it anyway. I'd be finished editing this wedding days ago if I weren't constantly sitting around waiting for LR & PS to crunch. I'm way behind.

Not happening. Because Intel's integrated graphics doesn't support OpenCL while's Nvidia's integrated graphics does. BUUUTT Nvidia doesn't have the licensing rights to use their integrated graphics chips with Intel's Core iX chips. So in order to get OpenCL capable graphics with a Core iX chip Apple must use Nvidia discrete graphics. The problem with this is power and space requirements, there isn't room in the 13.3 chassis for CPU, integrated GPU and discrete GPU and there isn't room for CPU, discrete GPU and chipset northbridge. So they have to stick to the two chip combo of CPU and Nvidia IGP and since Nvidia doesn't have a license to use their IGP chip with Core iX chips then Apple is stuck using C2D chips.
13in MB logic board:
compared to 15 and 17in logic board:
but take everything I say with a grain of salt cause remember I don't know anything about technology, I just talk out of my ass.....

that's a lotta money for a thin n light
I've been watching the whole video stream on my iPad. Much better than reading a liveblog
I'm not too excited about lion, I want to see more features.
and I was hoping for more from iLife but the new audio features in imovie are cool.

adding a keyboard shouldn't double the price. Honestly I'd take an ipad with osx 10.6 and a keyboard for 700.

No new MBP 
Guess I'll take one of the pos's already out there.
I don't even have iLife installed..don't care. The Air is worthless at the price point. Irritating.
