My simple predictions for tomorrow’s Apple event:

• MacBooks and MacBook Pros get a unified aluminum look and feel, perhaps with a touch of the iMac’s black bezel.
• The MacBook Pros will be updated to use nVidia chipsets.
• A new sub-$1000 laptop — an actual laptop, not a tablet or a netbook — will be announced and will be available for purchase immediately.
• The MacBook Air will have it’s processor speed bumped up, but you won’t be able to buy it until after the holidays.
• There will not be an update to the AppleTV, either in its current incarnation or in the rumored “hey, that’s an actual television set” form.

No sleepers or wild predictions, just the guesses of a guy with an aging MacBook Pro who would really like to see a cheap laptop on stage tomorrow.

Update: I didn’t go too far out there so I really wasn’t at a risk of missing by “too” much. I hit points one and five completely. Point two I was half wrong, because I didn’t think the MacBooks (non-Pro) would get the nVidia chipsets with their more powerful brethren. Point three I completely missed because it really (really) doesn’t count that the new sub-$1000 laptop is in reality last year’s MacBook at a cheaper price. I was half right on point four in that the Air was updated, but you don’t have to wait until next year to buy it.
