How feasible would a unibody plastic MacBook be? solid block of milled perspex could be quite strong

carbon fibre MacBook would be awesome but its too patterned for apple's clean look
 
I would like to see a Aluminum version anodized in different colors and more choices to configure them with. Give us 3 choices on Ram, CPU, HDD and screen options, also the next Gen Intel Mobile CPU that would be really nice.:rolleyes:
 
I personally still like the polycarb plastic, and I don't think they should abandon it. I believe that the blackbook should be brought back, but as an option for the low and high end macbook. I also think they'll add in a new screen size, perhaps 10" and make that more slated toward netbook hardware. It seems Apple has come full circle with their designs, back to the powerbook and iBook G4 days.
 
If the blackbook was to return it would have to be gloss black to match apples current style or atleast anodised like the iPod nano which would look cool

if they made a pink MacBook they would sell like hotcakes with young girls

10" MacBook 'nano'
10" Mac(tab)let
13" MacBook 'classic'
13" MacBook Air
13" MacBook Pro
15" MacBook Pro
17" MacBook Pro

would be quite a range and the black book could come back as a cool limited edition:

MacBook Black, MacBook Carbon, MacBook Stealth, MacBook iTs Only A Whitebook Painted So iF You Scratch iT iT'll Look Crud

(btw I previousy had a blackbook, loved it but hated the way it got all marked up with fingerprints)

but anodised black could replace the whole pro line quite easily if apple were after a quick facelift
 
Remember the MacBook got a processor bump a week before WWDC. And Apple claims that it's their best selling model.

With that in mind, I think a cheaper MacBook is on the way, if not a netbook of some sort. Like a white ten inch, no optical drive. If it happens, it definitely won't be in netbook priced territory though.
