.I find it hard to believe there'll black plastic + aluminium casing, as well as 16:9 screens. I think it'd be more probable if it was a switch to LED and to a new size together, however, 13.3" LED backlit screen in Air makes me doubt it. Any change of that kind would've to be planned for a long time, and if they planned to do so, would they really have designed a completely new product with "old" size? Not to mention all that advertising of full-size screen and eco-friendly aluminium casing? Or maybe I just hope it's not true (really, 16:10 is about as flat as I can accept).
I agree this guy had good sources judging by the amount of the correct information about the nano, however, his sources might have been misinformed now - if only to check where the leak is. He didn't say precisely whether he talked to people who had seen the new computers, or whether he talked to those who didn't, but believed other employees did. And if that is the case, it would also make "the brick" rumor less reliable. Of course, it's also perfectly possible all of this is true - but then, I really want it to be false, so I refuse to believe it for now
this is so unbelievably depressing, what hes says about the macbooks.........for ages weve been hearing aluminum etc etc, and now hes saying its just the macbooks pros. this black plastic and aluminum split up idea sounds horrific, i really hope this isn't true, he's the ONLY one to have said this
I'm probably one of the few that not only doesn't care for 16:9 on a laptop, I really don't care for widescreen laptops in general. My T61p is the last of the Thinkpads that came 4:3!
But obviously I'm in the minority.
Watching a movie widescreen is cool, but getting work done, I prefer a more square workspace.
since when are computers used for work
anyway, i'm not a fan of 16:9 either. i liked 16:10.
well, if they release a 14.1 inch 16:9 then that would be as high as a 13.3 16:10 and about as wide as a 15 inch 16:10. that put's it into a wierd spot. not small enough for portability and not large enough for work.
i hope they release either as MBP or as MB a 13.3 inch notebook that is fully featured (incl. optical, FW400 or 800, ethernet, 2xUSB, good speakers, bright screen, matte please), has at least 2.4GHz, easy to change HD and is around 4 lb. Good wifi reception please as well. i don't care if it's plastic, aluminium, carbon or titanium as long as it's 4 lb and has 6hrs battery life. i also don't care about a glass trackpad or backlit keyboard or fancy GPU.
i'm open for two versions of this:
a MB that is cheap ($1200) or a MBP that is expensive ($1800) but is lighter and faster and has an excellent screen and sound.
I KNEW IT! I always thought the MacBook would have large swaths of black just like the iMac, but the lack of rumors on this made me have doubts. I had these color schemes in mind in July, all with black display bezels:Computerworld (MacBook) said:
I notice that this point is not in the lists for either the MacBook or the MacBook Air.Computerworld (MacBook Pro) said:
Me too. I think the company that offers this will get a lot of business. When you only have 600 vertical pixels in most systems, it's hard to type any email or document, or view webpages without scrolling down.
