I always get excited about new Apple products coming out and new notebooks are long overdue in my opinion. Â I love my MacBook Pro and I got it when they first came out (yes I am one of those crazy people). Â Sometimes you just have to have it I guess. Â That exciting time for new notebooks has finally come again though. Â Apple will announce the new MacBook and MacBook Pro models on Tuesday the 14th and will likely explain all of the new exciting features. Â I have been checking out the rumors and general rumors and photos indicate a few things about the new laptops:
 - There is going to be an aluminum version of the MacBook now and not just the Pro
 - The new notebooks will be using a dedicated NVIDIA graphics cards to provide higher quality graphicsÂ
 - The larger trackpads that are included on the MacBook Air are going to be on the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros
There are other rumors surfacing about possible LCD HDTVs made by Apple that would include the Apple TV functionality right out of the box.  I am not so sure about the HDTVs, but most of the notebook stuff seems to be feasible.  the other thing is the possible inclusion of Blu-ray drives in the notebooks rather than the DVD drives included now.  We will have to see on Tuesday how it pans out.  In  the mean time take a look at
these pictures at Mac Rumors; they should wet your appetite for the new all aluminum notebooks.Â

The sharp-eyed folks at iphone savior spotted a MacBook Pro cameo on the season premiere of The Office.
In it, receptionist Pam appears in the Scranton branch from New York via iChat video.
While it’s easy to understand that Office followers — wry code monkeys and creative types alike — would appreciate the nod, Dunder Mifflin seems so much more PC than Mac.
How many places like that use MacBook Pros?

Those people who couldn’t wait for Apple to release an official Mac Tablet, and who instead pre-ordered Axiotron’s Modbook alternative, will be getting a New Year treat as the company announces the pen-based OS X portable is finally shipping. We first wrote about the Modbook - basically an Apple MacBook Pro rebuilt with a Wacom touchscreen digitizer to make a tablet - almost a year ago today, but the $2,290 device suffered a number of delays prompting many potential customers to hit the refund button.ÂÂÂ

As far as I’m aware, our boy Vincent has never been described as psychic but with his trials of a 64GB Samsung SSD NAND drive in a MacBook Pro over at SlashGear it could be that he’s pre-empted Apple’s latest laptop move. AppleInsider quote analyst Gene Munster who has highlighted the solid-state drive as a likely candidate for inclusion in a new addition to the MacBook range, possibly in the form of the subnotebook many have long suspected Cupertino of working on.
“We believe NAND Flash drive sizes have now reached capacities that Apple would consider large enough to include in a new MacBook model. As a result, a new, smaller version of Apple’s MacBook, and possibly an entirely new product, is more likely to be launched at MacWorld in early January” Gene Munster, Analyst

Like vanilla-flavored cheese I’m just plain stupid when it comes to programming, which is why I’m so impressed by TUAW’s Erica Sadun. She’s come up with a really useful application designed to make file swapping and archiving simple; it sits on your Mac desktop and then grabs a copy of image files you send from your iPhone.
