I’m pouring as much $$$ as I can into apple. I have a feeling that their stock is going to skyrocket this week (or at least tomorrow)

The article it was on actually said “for most people, they dont find anything to get excited about a new wave of laptops.” and said to use this game to make the event fun.

should be no suprise… apple waits until the kids buy all their back to school computers… then they have a sale to clean out inventory… then the release the new ones.

My god people in the apple store today were calling and asking about this.
Seriously, I see why Microsoft doesn’t have a store. I can’t believe the questions and shit these guys deal with on a daily basis. People complaining that their laptop has a dead pixel or gets too hot or “Cant find the icons”.

No, the MacBook Pro had a dedicated card. ATI or NVidia depending on the model.

Yup. Apple has an agenda.
Word is too expensive and not worth the upgrade with the new model. Watching the release now.
