    This occoured..ocourred...okkurred.. thought came to me there a while back, but I'll air it here in case anyone will know the truth of the matter...

    Will the new Intel Macs be shipped wth those terrible "Intel Inside" stickers on them?

    The idea of an iMac or Powerbook with those things stuck to them sounds terrible to me. All todays macs have a lovely finish to them, and those stickers would really take from it. Anyone know for certain?

    They changed it recently to "leap ahead" and i would think you could peal those stickers off. Have a look at the future

    It depends on the deal they have with intel. The bigger companies such as dell HP etc get discounts, perks and allowances for the the "intel inside" goop you would see before.

    This includes the soundbite on the radio ad's and the silly video at the end of almost every Dell ad on TV.

    So its possible that if intel cross Apple's palm with silver it may happen. I hope it doesnt, but that also means either more expensive machines or lower margin for Apple.

    If it came to that, just use the Apple logo sticker that comes with the Mac :D
    I have mine adorning my bass right now

    I think there's an answer, I haven't seen one of those stickers on any of the Macbook's (That is a TERRIBLE name) pictures yet. Might just get away with it! :)

    Apparently, they will not be using all the intel branding.
