Lizzie, You might be right. Were the initial numbers on the macbooks 300,000 per month? If that is the case, then your numbers might make more sense. Also, with the new mac pros out and some of the articles on the web mentioning that people like the machines and the price as well as the fact that many were delaying purchases of the pro line until these things were announced(besides those that are still waiting for the photoshop universal binaries), then if you are right and they could do 1.6 million laptops, then a 2 million cpu quarter could happen.

>>Apple did 800K notebooks in the June quarter with only 6 weeks of macbooks available.<< Lizzie - The article you linked to said this (emphasis mine): "Its share of the US notebook market doubled to 12 percent in the six-month period ending in June. Apple shipped 800,000 notebooks in that time frame, a record for the company. At that time the backlog had already begun." It's still an impressive number, considering the fact that the MacBook Pro didn't start shipping until March, and the MacBook first shipped in mid-May. - Allen
