New MacBooks Have Begun Shipping?

The first shipments of Apple's new 13-inch MacBooks have left mainland China ahead of a large-scale manufacturing ramp scheduled for later this month, according to investment bank Citigroup.

"Field checks confirm that shipments of new MacBooks have begun, with a sharp production ramp planned for September and an introduction planned for early October," he wrote.

I would.... With the amount you save from the new macbook, you could get the rest on ebay/torrentz and still be ok :)

Of course! I just ordered my MacBook Pro this afternoon! I probably won't feel TOO bad, though, since I got a free printer, a free iPod touch, $200 off for educational discounts, and about $1600 worth of Adobe software for $300. (Yes, I know that CS4 is being announced next week.)
