It’s about 7:15 a.m. out here on the east coast, which puts us just under six hours away from Apple’s announcement of the new MacBooks. Never too early to get ready for some new MacBooks, though, right? Stick with us here at Appletell, as we’ll be providing ongoing coverage leading up to the event, and will offer a live blog of the announcements from this very spot.

Can’t wait until Apple’s MacBook event later today? Do you need that news now? Same here. Especially when one of the rumors is that the MacBook will finally, finally, contain a by-God graphics card. But until Steve walks onstage, we’ll just have to content ourselves with what we already know…or think we know. Following the break are links to all the news/rumors that have surfaced within the past month regarding today’s event. And throughout the morning, be sure to check in on our Apple MacBook Event live blog for up to the minute news and announcement coverage.
