iBook Revisions Second Quarter 2006?

[GER-pbr]

Put me down for a 13.3"

yep - I have one, too

MacBook (I´m pretty sure about that name), Core Solo, brilliant display (13.3"), up to 7 hours of battery life, and priced somewhere around $/€ 899...

aaah - that would just be great....

Before switching I used the original Series X ThinkPad. A 3 pounder, but fantastic for business travel - especially at my age. I strongly believe this type of form factor would be a huge hit - especially in the education market - and might provide for a very attractive price point. Being able to attach to an external display would also be important - my current 15" PB is attached to a 23" display when I'm working in the office. The range I would look for is:

MacBook mini
MacBook (iBook)
MacBook Pro

If all used the Duo from Intel the above would result in an awesome line that would be hard to compete against - especially if all had iSight built in.

I wish there could be a 14.2" widescreen. I pass by some at work all the time, and it's a good portable size for students. 13.3 WS would still be too small for using multiple excel sheets and word files next to eachother comfortably. I like my 15" powerbook, but don't want to have to buy an $1800 laptop for basic student/teacher stuff.

This is somewhat like a black iBook would look like. Unlike Dell etc. Macs would be really glossy/eye catching

Dark transperent aluminum all over would look really good !!!

Hmmm, I sure would like to see apple making on of these:

I dunno, the lack of the built in optical drive would not do it for me. I do like the two mouse (trackpad) buttons though.

Hmmmm, black with the bright white keyboard? Maybe if they made the keyboard and trackpad more like charcoal-grey or something.

Could it be?

Hey, with the speed bumps in the MacBook Pro, maybe apple is going to use the core Duo 1.67 in the intel ibook after all...

what do you think?
