When Adsense ads with new Apple products start hitting Dutch, Italian and Austrian Google searches, you know updates are coming soon.  You also know that there will be a job opening shortly for a Google European Ad manager.

Google Translation: Mac mini: Faster and more affordable than ever. From only € 499. Order immediately. [FYI current starting price is €599]

Google Translation:MacBook: Thinner, lighter and stronger! Free delivery. Order today.

Google Translation: iMac: Ultra Thin 20 & 24 inch models. From only €1099. Apple Store

The ads largely line up with previous predictions made by Wedge Partners.

I am waiting along with my IT guy to make a major purchase as soon as they are released.

Let's go!

FYI, it doent say anything about thinner, lighter or stronger in the dutch text about the macbook. The other translations are correct

Indeed. It just says "Discover the new macbook. Free delivery. Order today."

If you goolge for it yourself (in google.be) you will notice it does says thinner, lighter and stronger :)

"Dunner, lichter en krachtiger! Gratis bezorging. Bestel vandaag."

Hopefully Multi touch trackpad on the white macbook, seeing as its the only member of the macbook family WITHOUT it! :)

If you google for Macbook yourself on google.be you will see it does says thinner, lighter & stronger :)

About the only thing Apple NL does is maintain the website and they can't even do that right...

Just in time to make people think twice before buying a "Windows 7 capable" PC.

I believe that krachtiger means faster.

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 04, 2009 - 9:00am

Krachtiger means "more powerful" or "stronger".

hmmmm. . . .
IF the macbook is thinner, lighter, and stronger, that gets me thinking. Might a "unibody" be made of polycarbonate, not just aluminum?

what about this was a typo by some guy at google and this wasn't supposed to show up on october 3rd, but on october 13th, which is a tuesday!?!

Why would anyone at Google be to blame for this? Wouldn't they have a marketing company or in-house person managing their campaigns?

New pic about the mini at macbidouille.fr's forum, something like a roof !

Give the touch screen display on iMac. HPs Dells all have them already! Otherwise it's just a boring update!

I dont think that Apple is behind these ads.
Just analyzed one of those Google ads.

It redirected to:
http://akatracking.esearchvision.com/esi/redirect.html%3Fesvt%3D100308-G...

Which itself redirects to the Apple Store with an affiliate ID.
Probably just some reseller trying to set affiliate cookies and make some bucks.

The Apple Store has now lengthened the ship time further...hmmm....

No, unfortunately not last week. Keep your fingers crossed, maybe this week. I need to purchase two new desktops and a Macbook Pro. I am just waiting for a refresh or redesign. I can hold on for awhile for the iMacs, but need the new MBP ASAP. I have been waiting for them to offer a Quad-core for the top end 17" MBP. It looks like all the manufactures releasing Core i7 products have set a date for OCT 22. I would think that would be the best date to bet on.
