13" Intel iBook rumours redux — #24
Another point some here are trying to make is that there needs to be additional ways to distinguish a low-end MBP from the Mac Book marketing-wise. IMHO that's nonsense. Apple went…

13" Intel iBook rumours redux — #25
After all that blurb, I forgot to post some specs.
So here's my guess
• Mac Book - 13.3" widescreen, T1300, 60-100GB, Combo/SD, 64MB/128MB VRAM, DVI optional
• Mac Book Pro - 15.…

Come to think of it, maybe the 12" PB always was stigmatized by basically being an Al iBook. It was developed by iBook people and it shared many technical aspects with the iBook.

Certainly. I think Apple's problem is that they can't put the same guts into the 12" as the 15"; it's not just pure marketing (remember, Steve loves small things,…

Of course they could put the L2300 into a 13" MBP instead of a T2300 or a T1300.
Problem is, it drives the price up even further. It's currently going for $284
It would be rathe…

Although you're probably already aware of this, I will just reiterate that those prices aren't what Apple pays.
Those are standard prices in batches of 1000, without any included …

Dual/duel, unless you're a telemarketer.

I would hate to see any laptop without an internal optical drive, even if it makes it 1/2 the size. Though I do not always use the optical drive in my iBook, I would be lost on the…

I would love to see a Mac laptop without an optical drive. It'd certainly be able to boot from a FireWire optical drive, and Apple could even make a nice matching one. Honestly, an…

Last time I heard rankings on the powerbooks from a local Apple shop, they were moving the 15 inch the most, then the 12, then the 17. No idea how many, but the 12 was doing bette…

Count me in also as one who hates laptops which don't have optical drives.
I think Apple will continue including optical drives on all its laptops.

I see the iBook not shifting away from the 12" and 14" specs, I much rather see the MBP going 13" so it will be widescreen across the line (and also differentiate it from the iBook…

I would love to see an optical-driveless Mac subnotebook. This doesn't mean of course, that that I think optical drives should vanish all-together from the iBook/MacBook line, but …

I don't think Apple will introduce a sub-notebook sans the optical in the near future. I would however be interested to buy one. I rarely need the optical and when I do, I'm workin…

Think Secret just weighed in, claiming an announcement is imminent in March, with availability ramping up in April. Core Solo.
I'm, of course, aflutter with anticipation. The down…

With the $32 difference between Core Duo and Core Solo and other OEMs (like Dell) putting Core Duo in their sub-$999 laptops, it would be a shame if Apple didn't put Core Duo in th…
