So, Engadget posted their invitation deets to the October 14th event being held by Apple to announce something about notebooks.  From what I can tell it’s unclear (well they never leak details before so this is all from rumors) if they’re doing an accross-the-board product refresh, if there will be redesigns of the MacBooks and/or MacBook Pros, or if they’ll unveil an entirely new form factor.

Engadget has a link with some images of a supposed new Air-like form factor.

MacRumors has an image of the supposed “brick” casing.  Rumors have gone back and forth on whether or not “brick” would be an entirely new product line, or if it was a new manufacturing process that would carve cases out of single pieces of aluminium.

You may remember when Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer, in an unusual move for Apple, hinted that earnings this quarter would be lower due to an undisclosed “product transition”.  Since then everyone has wondered what exactly he was hinting at.  Looks like next week we’ll finally find out.
