they'd be stupid not to include magsafe into any future portables, especially consumer portables since they're more likely to be used in bed, on the floor, kitched table, coffee ta…

I also agree MagSafe will be on the new iBooks/MacBooks. However, while I think it's a nice feature, I don't consider it a must-have like Firewire 400.
I'd like to see an iSight i…

It'll definityl have magsafe - they've used the same (As far as I know) non-magsafe power adapter for both the iBook and Powerbook lines. using the same adapter cuts cost, not to m…
Yeah, Eug, since you seem to be really up on Intel's product lines, you should post a "recovering PowerPC zealot's guide to Intel processor families" to your blog. Or point us to w…

Correct. My bad. I should have said Pentium M Banias.

Celerons?
OK, Apple has already put so much effort into marketing Core to people I can't imagine them touching Celeron with a ten foot pole. Of course there will be a Celeron Yon…
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…
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
