if the above post [well my post] is making you want one then read this post:
ehem**
four scores and twenty years ago our founding fathers could not use a computer, why? cuz they didnt have a computer, duh!! now we do have computers, now we have apple computers, now we have apple sexy 2011 models with quad cores. BUT WAIT!!
have you heard the latest bit of news.. there is a change in 2012 model the design will combine the lightness of the iPad (yes carbon fiber), it will include a keyboard with back lit keys. but not just normal keyboards, stronger, sexier, more Chiclets then ever before.
the material will be as strong as ever, but as smooth as a feather. with combined SSD + HDD included Intel base models, they will boot faster than any, i repeat ANY computer in the world.
Apple will also include OSX LION on it [duh!] but with a added feature for the 2012 people. INSTANT BOOT UP TIME! yes that's right instant boot up. so why drown yourself in an ocean that will rise for sometime. enjoy what you have now, and wait until 2012, the year we are going to die [thus apple will certainly make the best product they ever will]
the best part, there will not be a keyboard [well there is but not as you wish]. it will be a dual screen.. yes a dual screen with a side button that makes actual keys appear in 3D.. you know you want that.
**ATTENTION: IF YOU FEEL LIKE THIS IS A RUMOR [to all except the OP] then YOU ARE WRONG. THIS IS JUST SO I CAN MAKE THE OP STOP THINKING ABOUT BUYING A 2011 MODEL. THIS IS IN NO WAY AN ACTUAL RUMOR. if you think it is, well good luck.
