Apple’s Cleanup Hitters On Deck

Apple is poised to unleash its redesigned MacBook/MacBook Pros on us.

AppleInsider reports that Apple “issued an advisement bulletin to some of its channel partners hinting at a manufacturing ramp down of iPods and certain Mac notebook models, which will result in limited supplies of those products in the coming weeks.”

This is standard practice indicating that a new product launch is coming. I believe it will be on us by October 1st at the latest.

What he have to look forward to:

-redesigned/updated iPod Touch
-redesigned/slimmed MacBook
-redesigned MacBook Pro

Apple stock isn’t cheap, but it’s trading at a 15% discount to its price in early June. With these impending product introductions and the ensuing monster sales revenue, Apple shares could be buoyed, but the specter of lower margins due to the entrance of the low-price netbook into the market could be a destabilizing factor. In the end, perhaps, it’s a wash.
