Intel's Problem causes Minor Delays for MacBooks

  Earlier this month intel announced a problem with its Sandy Bridge processors and rumors and speculations said that this have caused a major delay to the new MacBooks release date.

  But persons familiar with this matter have informed ApplesInsider that the new laptops suffered only a minor delay:

However, one person familiar with the matter tells AppleInsider that some -- not all -- of the company's upcoming MacBook Pros were affected by the situation. According to this person, the Mac maker elected to make minor tweaks to the logic boards of those models, but that those changes would translate to a delay of less than two weeks.

Reading between the lines can only lead to speculation that Apple was an early recipient of some of those Cougar Point chipsets from Intel, and that the changes it's making involve tweaks to SATA ports that those MacBook Pros will utilize.

 The new macbooks are excepted to be released by apple in the near future probably in April or May. But until then these are rumors and speculations and we will have to wait for Apple to make the announcement.
