Its kinda hard to say that the tablet is a DEAD market when apple computers has a main sector of the design industry, if the the whole thing. But yet again, that sector might just opt for a wacom... sigh...
Don't get me wrong, I definitely am waiting a Mac Tablet (thats not a modbook
)

So, if the Airport card is installed essentially behind the display, and that area is fairly large, why couldn't you also put say three GPU modules there as well as optional upgrades according to computational need?

If tablets are a dead market then why do companies still make them? Apple has a strong student and artist base which would certainly kill for a tablet. I would
you will need the route the pci-e x16 bus to them vs just a x1 bus or a pci bus to the wifi card.
There are zillions of "dead markets". Imagine if no one designed anything new because it was a "dead market": forget the light bulb, computer, car, dish washer, probably houses, metal, and footwear.
Didn't HP tell Wozniak the "home computer" was a "dead market" when he brought the Apple I to their offices for sale and development? You might be a good to go for a job application at HP 1975.
Yeah. Remember when it was iPhone this, iPhone that and iPhone everything all over the front page, with a little sprinkling of iPods here and there.
Now we're floored with Mac rumors. Like the good old days, eh?
Tuesday's announcement
Tuesday's announcement will obviously involve new Macbooks and Macbook Pros, but what about an amalgamation of the mini, the networked tv we've been hearing rumors about, the patent for inserting a Macbook into a display, and the mystery port on the leaked Macbook casing photos? Someone in this thread already commented that a mini was really just a notebook in a desktop casing, and Apple has neglected to update this model for quite sometime. What if Apple is finally going to make computing via television something that is commonplace in the household? Bring your Macbook home from work, slip it into your TV and viola... with the help of wireless keyboard and mouse you're computing from your television. When the notebook is gone, you still have the complete function of your television and the abilities of Apple TV, but when your Macbook is connected you have full access to the computing power of your notebook.
This is the era of digital convergence and Apple has proven to be a leader in it (iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, Apple TV, etc).
Just a thought.

tablets are useless.
and i'm an artist.
Does anyone have a copy of the PDF? It has been taken down
It's funny how you get the spinning sprocket when you load the page.
I too am interested in viewing the document, but was too late to download from the Apple site.
Please make available if someone has it.
Cheers

Are you kidding? I would thank god if not another tons of features are dropped.
Now that weve seen parts of the new notebooks i think people should make some more mockups haha
AAPL has taken it down, anyone saved a copy?
pleaseeeee??
I'll check my documents when I get home.
Does this rumor even need to be really confirmed....? The event has already been announced and it is called "The spotlight turns to notebooks" and Apple releases new notebooks (or at least new updated models) every year. Isn't it already kind of obvious that Apple is releasing new MB & MBPs since they are their only notebooks? It would be much of a "spotlight" on them if they didn't do anything with them. Do people really think that it might not ever happen? That you need a rumor or a confirmation of a rumor? This would of been a bigger rumor if it was found before the announcement. In any case, it happens every year. It is surprising that people talk like it might not happen. It is all just a matter of time.
Plus on top of all that , and forgetting it being obvious already, "confirms" is a pretty strong word, and I wouldn't really say that unless it is an official announcement. Apple has made typos before in the past. If I was Steve Jobs, and I didn't like things being leaked, I'd sometimes put out wrong information by "mistake" or just leak things on rumor sites for fun. Ha ha, lol. I'd have so much fun with that! It would make a good hobby for me.

Just thought that the title reads "spotlight on notebooks"
maybe the word spotlight is a hint of some sort..
Makes me wonder if there isn't some little office in a corner of a building at the campus where a dedicated group of think tank geeks come up with these davinci code invites.
