With the rumor mill spreading that Apple will release the brand new Aluminum MacBooks on the 14th of October, I’m wondering whether it is too late for them to announce a Special Event in time? Apple have typically held an iPod themed event every year, in either September or October. Well we’ve had the iPod event for this year, so what next? I see the Aluminum MacBooks as far to big an announcement to be just quietly introduced on their website.

Could this be a sign that the 14th of October date circulating is false? Im sure they would love to have these laptops out in time for the holiday season. If indeed Apple does announce an event I suspect the MacBook Air will also receive an overhaul, and should sport the new slim 120GB hard drive found in the latest iPod Classic.
