Apple COO Tim Cook gave the following comment during last weeks Goldman Sachs Investment Symposium:
"We just received word on Monday that Apple surpassed Dell as the number one supplier of portables to US higher education for 2007," Cook claimed. "The ceiling for the Macs is nowhere in sight. Even if the market itself isn't growing, for us, switching Windows users is an enormous opportunity," Cook said.
This is great news, and can be supported by the numerous images of college lecture halls dominated by the Apple symbol. This story comes accompanied by the latest Apple idea, 'iPhone University'. Apple's laptops are highly appealing in education due to their durable, reliable nature, as well as the many great graphic and textual applications for macs only.

Update 3: Got the full scoop. Penryn in both Macbook and Macbook Pro (see here). Check out Mac Rumors and Apple Insider coverage. New NVIDIA graphics cards (still integrated in Macbook-shame). Check the Apple store for full specs.
Update 2: The Macbook Pro’s now come fitted with multi-touch, LED screens (on all models) and faster processors. No word on the inclusion of Penryn just yet. The Macbooks don’t include multi-touch (why not?), but their processor speed have also been increased.
Update: The store is back up. Well, what have we here. Not only the promised Macbook Pro refresh, but also a nice speed bump for the Macbooks.
Its happening. By the time Tuesday is over, Apple will have at least released one new product, if not more. The Apple online store has been down, worldwide, for about an hour.

Sources close to Apple have tentatively revealed that numerous shipments of new Apple products, including Time Capsule and possibly the new iPod Shuffle 2GB, are due tomorrow. The latest idea being flung around indicates that the Macbook Pro will finally be released on Tuesday, shipping immediately.
I must be honest, I’m beginning to lose faith that an update is even coming at all. This is the last Tuesday in February, and that was the indicated release window. So will the new Macbook Pro finally be unleashed tomorrow? Let’s hope so…
Best Buy have a registered shipment of the following model numbers, which are possibly the new version of the Macbook Pro:
MB402LL/A - $1999
MB403LL/A - $2499
MB404LL/A - $2799
These price points are identical to the current models, but many Best Buy employees have indicated that the actual ‘in stock’ date is 3rd March. If this is the case, we have an even longer wait on our hands.
