Based on all other reports I've been reading, the new laptops are expected to begin pricing at around $799. This is actually a positive for Apple's stock as it will allow them to compete in the sub-$1000 laptop market. The reason this is even bigger news today than it was a month ago, is because the lower price market is going to be 95 % of sales with the economy headed down. Investors are looking forward to Tuesday's announcement. Low Price laptops that will sell in high volume at BestBuy.

It happened because the $800 laptop rumors leaked around that time yesterday.

Any objective analysis of products, services, trends, and media penetration in the computer industry points at Apple as the one true 'horse' to lead us out of this mess.

Apple is historically undervalued. This market could actually help them.

After all, if you held your Apple stock more than 2 years, you are STILL ahead, even in THIS market.

Apple is still a winner. Market, economy, etc be damned…I want another iPod Touch or iPhone. (Note: I use my wifes and that simply won't do)

Anyone who touches one since the 2.1 firmware release will agree….the only problem….I can't have more apps installed!

I am very close to buying Apple again! The fundamentals are very strong despite the pending economic disasters.

Is the author honestly too stupid to know that the new Macbook event was announced yesterday to take place on 10/14?

It was announced Thursday afternoon, and their price went up. It's not rocket science.

Do some research, geez.

ex ped: The author doesn't claim to be a genius, but he did suggest that the Oct. 14 "The spotlight turns to notebooks" event may have been a factor in the turnaround.

For the record, Greg, Apple sent out the press invitations at noon and the stock fell pretty steadily for the next three and a half hours — down roughly 5.5% — before reversing direction.
