I just got back home from a trip to the Apple Store. Geek that I am I trekked to get you some hands-on photos of the new MacBooks because that’s what I do. What I found was…. nothing. In spite of the clear statement that Steve Jobs made yesterday that the new MacBooks would be in Apple Stores today that is apparently not the case. They not only had no inventory to sell but didn’t receive display units either. The sales staff was none too happy about that as everyone was coming in and leaving unhappy that they couldn’t fondle the new toys. They were told that at least display units would come in tonight and should be able to put them out for tomorrow but the Apple rep didn’t sound like she believed that. So save yourself some gas and wait a few days before you head up to the Apple Store. I feel so used.
