Apple will NOT release an ultra portable laptop
I hope that topic grabbed your attention, all I’m reading is “apple are going to release an ultra portable” and… “oooh did you hear that apple have put in a patent for….” and “OMG apple have placed a large order for new LED backlit 13.3″ screens from xyz in taiwan”.
Firstly, you can forget about an “ultra portable” if Apple are buying new LED backlit 13″ screens. I mean, c’mon, they’re just replacing the macbook screens right? Are the macbook screen’s LED backlit? or just the Macbook Pro? hrmmmmmm.
They might release a “more portable” Macbook Pro. Something in 13.3″ with the power/features of the big bad boy himself? I don’t know.
The secret is in energy saving, aesthetics and portability, we all know that. I love my MBP, I really do, but it chews through the power like there’s no tomorrow. I’d happily ditch the superdrive in the machine for double the power. (i do still only have the first MBP, the core duo i have no doubt that upgrading to a more recent model will give me more battery life). I won’t be upgrading anything with a baby on the way! Maybe I need to come up with a “buy me a new macbook” scheme. I’ll think of something! heh
Stop it with the crap rumors. All in good time my fellow fanboys!
