This will most likely be an ultra slim 11 or 12 inch ultra portable with long battery time. More or less a computer which is as easy to carry with you as a high school math book. Perfect for bloggers, journalists and university students who need their laptop at home and on the move.

If it is priced good it might be my first mac. The thought of an aluminum 750-1200gram laptop is mouth watering. ]]>Sep 21st 2007 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/Sep 21st 2007 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/

The form factor and the selling point of "long battery life" kind of prevent Apple from putting in, say, an 8600GT which would suck quite a bit more power than Intel Xtreme. Maybe Intel's new graphics happy chip could be going into this in the future if the realease date is that far off...]]>Sep 21st 2007 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/

Of course, they're perfectly poised to dominate the nascent Personal Portable Computer market with the touch iPod, but they seem unwilling to make it a decent platform. (put a HDD in it, put the camera, bluetooth and apps back in)

So who knows what the hell they're thinking.]]>Sep 21st 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/Sep 21st 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/Sep 21st 2007 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/slim-macbook-rumors-resurface/it depends on the processor you put in them. I heard that the new smaller Intel processors develop much less heat. The form factor and design of that image seem to "match" the new Apple trend. Such a computer would be great.
Still open is the question about graphics. MacBook Pros have had graphic cards a long time now (ok, maybe not the best cards for games) while MacBooks have an integrated one (albeit, since last revision, it is slightly better than previous models).

All in all I am looking forward, particularly because of the "aggressive pricing" mentioned in the article. Hope it is true.. I bought my MacBook white less than a year ago (december 2007, you know.. Santa and all that :-) ). But such a model would force me to start putting away my cash for it.
