Aluminum MacBook Sooner Than Expected?

Rumor has it, that the new aluminum MacBooks are already on their way from China to Apple’s storage facility here in the United States. This news is concurrent with speculation that Apple is going to unveil a notebook refresh some time in October.

According to Citigroup analyst Richard Gardner, “a very thin aluminum casing, a LED-backlit display and an aggressive entry-level price point” are all characteristics of the new MacBooks. As most other Apple items are turning to aluminum, this new MacBooks makes sense. Rumor also has it, that the “aggressive entry-level price point” is one aspect of the mysterious “product transition” Apple announced, perhaps making their products more available to a wider audience.
