get a macbook

5 more days. I can do this. Only 5 more days. But there still isn’t any confirmation of October 14th… I’m gonna be mega pissed if October 14th comes and goes with no new MacBook release.

‘Brick’ Refers to the MacBook Manufacturing Process

Mac Rumors
9to5Mac finally puts an end to ‘Brick’ speculation and claims that ‘Brick’ refers to the new manufacturing process for MacBooks.

The MacBook manufacturing process up to this point has been outsourced to Chinese or Taiwanese manufacturers like Foxconn. Now Apple is in charge. The company has spent the last few years building an entirely new manufacturing process that uses lasers (w/o sharks) and jets of water to carve the MacBooks out of a brick of aluminum.
9to5Mac speculates that this will give Apple strategic and technical advantages over other manufacturers, including improvements in complexity of case design, strength and quality. They also point out that Steve Jobs has been known to focus on the details of factory design with his NeXT startup in the 1980’s.

The site also ties this back to recent comments by Peter Oppenheimer that Apple will continue to introduce state of the art products that their competitors are unable to match.

Finally, they expect that the MacBooks will indeed be released on October 14th.

But, I resisted the urge.

According to this, we should be expecting an October 14th release date.

Oh the horror… It seems so far away!

Thanks to Carsten Neubert I’ve discovered that Apple is expected to update the MacBook by October 14th. Shit. That would mean that I should wait until then to purchase one. I’ll keep my eye on the rumors and put off my purchase for a little while. At least for tonight.

I’m finally going to break down and get one tonight. I’ve wanted one forever and I think it’s time. I’ve been spending HUGE amounts of time on the Apple website drooling over MacBooks. Oh, and putting together my cart and typing in my card number and then changing my mind.

It is time. I’m wasting half my work day drooling over them!

Windows: good bye, I hope we never meet again. Linux: Take care my friend. Leopard: Welcome, we finally meet!

I have other plans.

In September of last year I got a MacBook Pro for graphic design classes I was taking in college. I love it!

Last night the other bottom corner of my screen broke as well. So, the screen is basically a goner. :/
I want a MacBook so much, especially after I’ve seen Antonie use it.
But I don’t know where on earth I’d find the money for it. I will try to save money for it, we’ll see. In the meantime I hope my laptop will stop falling into pieces.

I got macbook pro.
Macbook pro is beautiful and powerful.
