I got MacBook Black, but it was a bit slow for me. Got New Mac Book Pro. Really like it. If you put in specially designed for it Stucano Work Out carrying bag, the entire thing is very light and ergonomic.
Mac Book Pros will effect earnings, though there were selling less than a month for June quarter.
I think margins will be high, but Apple again will reiterate that this is not sustainable. Mac sales will be the highest in the entire Apple history (as expected by AFB board).
iPhone would at best contribute 1-2 cents to June quarter.

Margins, Macs, and favorable dollar rates (high margins on international sales) will result in earnings that leave Wall Street estimates in the dust again.
However, the weakest link would be iPod sales. Let us not forget that the market valued AAPL so far mostly on its growing iPod sales.
Of course, the central point would be guidance. If Apple execs decide to feed bears another fat and juicy lunch, the stock can revisit June lows.

The falling dollar will have an extraordinary impact on earnings. Most analysts will discount this as a temporary benefit. iPod sales should be repectable, not stellar. Apple needed to take time to address other product lines and it’s healthy to take a pause from time to time. The iPod quarters are Q4 and Q1.

Mac sales should carry the day. I’m expecting some big surprises from the education sector of the Mac market.
