Report echos imminent MacBook sentiment
While Apple Computer has been working hard to meet demand for its new MacBook Pro notebooks in the UK, recent moves also offer evidence that the company will soon introduce its MacBook line of consumer notebooks, Jonny Evans reports for MacWorld UK.
Meanwhile the same report comments on speculation that Apple will announce an Intel-powered replacement for its current iBook models, explaining that an announcement could come as soon as next week on the eve of the company's financial release (April 19).
"Apple has an arrangement with a UK firm under which that firm disposes of all Apple's ex-demo stock," Evans wrote without specifying the firm's identity. "That company this week announced a number of iBooks and eMacs at slightly discounted prices, inadvertently furnishing potential evidence that a move to release new consumer portables could come soon."
