a very good article to read: Click here
Also, an very important note to all of you that's going to buy a Mac in this 2 weeks, [b]Hold On[/url] Because Apple is having an major event on August 7, and there'll be new Mac, new revision to previous products. So just hold on till then. Else you'll start complaining ur 2 weeks old mac is outdated. |

It's a Apple Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) and this is one of the biggest events for Apple in the whole year. Everybody is waiting for this year's WWDC because of; Mac Pro, Mac OS X Leopard, iWork, iPod, and others. Hope this can help you to understand more, uSeLeSs
 Oh one more thing, you should read the article that posted by wei, by doing that will make you understand much much more  |

My reckoning is it will be the launch of the final segment of the Mac platform to make the jump to Intel-based chips. The desktop "Pro" mac.
Will the G5 case be replaced? Will it be better? Aug 8 should be an interesting date.... |

The blu-ray drive is still damn exensive, I don't know how much will the new Mac cost if Apple put it inside
BTW, Apple is still talking about HD, right?I think Apple should not put in the blu-ray drive just need the 10.5 Leopard is ready for blu-ray and then there's space for user to upgrade it by themself when the price of the blu-ray drive become cheaper Some links for the price: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=25901 http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=blu-ra...roogle&ct=title BTW, I hope they will also upgrade the MB to Merom (Core 2 Duo Mobile) CPU same as MBP because Intel's targeting 50% of notebook user will use Merom CPU in 2007. How can other Windows user is using merom for their RM4k machine but Apple still use Yonah?  I could not find the links for Intel's 50% target in 2007 but I remember read it somewhere. maybe in magazine |

I dont think that there will be any new products (hardware) to be released except for new iPod since the sales of iPod has been kinda slow for Apple standard. 50% of Mac Pro will be out, i dont know this is my guess.
