Steve Jobs To Unveil New MacBooks Today, Leaked Photos And Rumors Abound

Today Apple will make another product announcement and followers around the world will swoon. The tech gurus are launching a revamped line of MacBook laptops at a special event on Apple’s campus in Cupertino, Califronia.
 

The big guy Steve Jobs will make the announcement sometime today, but avid Apple-philes don’t have to wait until then for ideas about the updates. Thanks to the internet we can discuss, speculate and obsess to our heart’s content. Engadget’s even provided a leaked photo (see above) for our viewing pleasure. Is it real? Is it a hoax? Is it the greatest laptop to ever exist… ever?
 

For more Apple dirt, here are just a few rumors and buzz swirling around in cyberspace:
 

• One model will be priced at either $899 or $999 for mass appeal
• It will be made of a solid piece of aluminum
• Two NVIDIA graphic chips will be inside
• It will feature a DisplayPort instead of Mini-DVI
• The laptops will have up to 2.8GHZ speed
• A touch screen will replace the trackpad and single button
• Longer battery-life is expected, described as “extra long”
   

I may not understand computers, but I know an “extra long” when I see one.
