1.8 million Macs sold during Holiday sales

MacDailyNews has this report from Goldman Sachs:

"Across the Mac line, Apple seems to have had an exceptional Thanksgiving weekend. Fourth-quarter demand for MacBook and MacBook Pro [notebooks] are running better than Apple's already aggressive targets. We expect 1.1 million notebooks and 1.8 million total Macs in the December quarter," Goldman Sachs reports. "Our retail checks point to strong Apple store results both on the Mac and the iPod side. Combined with a higher mix of Macs, higher retail sales should drive upside to our 28.6% gross margin forecast and Apple's 28.25% target. Based on strong demand, at least one key supplier is allocating even more capacity to Apple and taking it away from other areas."

They also expect to see a new Video iPod with larger screen that isn't considered a product refresh for the upcoming MacWorld.
