News is circling on the web that Apple will be announcing a new laptop tomorrow (14th October)

New MacBooks announced October 14th - 10 Oct 2008 - Mac Planet - NZ Herald Blog

Anyone heard any news on this? Only asking as I was going to be buying one but have held off when I heard this news around a week ago.

Not heard anything, but I'd definitely hold off, as it means current models will drop in price :icon_thumbup:

Just wondering if you use your laptop just for taking to meetings with clients etc and have a main desktop PC at your office?

I used to have a Sony VAIO laptop only at one point, the damage working on that did to my back and neck :icon_crying:, much happier sat at a desk with my desktop PC now.

Thats right, I'd use it for meetings out of the office, accessing internet /blogging etc while travelling etc

I certainly could NOT design on a laptop, although I know some people do and that's fine if that's what they prefer. Like you said Boss I wouldn't recommend using a laptop for long periods, if its not on a desk at least.

Though I did used to work in an office space with 2 ladies who just used their laptops and they were fine, each to their own!

Like you said it depends on the length of time you are sat using your laptop, believe me it was maaaaany hours and I paid the price

Infact this has got me thinking, going to post a new thread in a moment...

EDIT
...and if by magic: Exercise, do you?

Anyone heard any news on the new mac laptop, I've not heard anything, maybe it was just a rumour after all?

Can't say I'm WOWED by the new range.

Yeah I'm not over wowed either, its a great design, interesting engineering and a great in terms of its lack of impact on the environment. But its expensive... still.
