Apple Notebook Event Set for Next Week
New laptops to debeut next Tuesday.

October 9, 2008 - After a solid month of rumor and speculation, Apple has finally issued invitations to a press-only event in Cupertino, California next week that will focus on the latest additions to its notebook line. The event will be held on Tuesday, October 14 at 10:00am PST. Unfortunately there is little to be known about the upcoming event beyond a deliberately teasing invitation, which states "the spotlight turns to notebooks." Nevertheless, if the rumor mill is right, as it has sometimes been before, the announcement should hold a complete revision to the MacBook line, fully-integrating aluminum casing, and the introduction of an extremely economically efficient model below $1,000.
The October 14 event and date have been rumored for several weeks; however, as time wore on and no formal announcement came from Apple, the tech wire became increasingly skeptical. But now, less than a week before the event is scheduled to occur, Apple has let the proverbial cat out of the bag. Whether or not Apple will discuss the recent Apple "Brick" rumors, which have alluded to a super-efficient manufacturing process, remains to be seen.
Be sure to tune in to IGN Gear next week for all the latest on the Apple event.
