Either I am a pollyanna or these various "PC watchers" (not apple analysts) are so incredibly bearish on the entire industry, they just CAN'T BELIEVE that Macbooks could be a killer product, and are trying to explain away all this evidence that Macbooks are exceeding expectations. - We have had news from some china pubs as well as EMS news who said Asustek shipped 500K units last month, and yet all these sources say no way, this can't be apple etc. Well- we will find out soon enough. From the following article "tipsters" say apple has slowed production. What tipsters, who? If apple really had slowed production then macbook would not be at the top of all of these hot lists. And besides there is not much wrong with any of the apple laptops. Whine and moo are standard Dell fare. MacBook wait times rise as EDU season rolls in By Prince McLean Published: 12:35 PM EST Estimated wait times for Apple Computer's white MacBook consumer notebooks rose sharply this week as the company began fielding large orders from educational customers while simultaneously attempting to root out some ongoing production issues. On Thursday, wait times for the 1.83GHz and 2.0GHz white MacBooks models through the company's online store increased from 1 to 2 business days to 5 to 7 business days. The 2.0GHz black MacBook, however, still carries a lead time of 1 to 2 business days. While some tipsters have suggested that Apple may have slowed production as it attempts to rectify some outstanding issues with the notebooks, this does not appear to be the case. Historically, July marks the core of Apple's educational buying season, in which the company handles a flurry of large orders for its consumer and educational computers. appleinsider.com
