Any chance the screen can rotate and lock back over the keyboard for a multi-touch-style tablet?

while we're all dreaming, why not?

its not a dream it's a critical analysis of vague notions from a photo which conceals more than it gives away. Quote me, what I've said, except some parts of my first posting, will be right, Its a new MBP 16:9 thinner with design I spoke about... If I am wrong i'll paypal you $5.
 
That's probably the real reason.

EXACTLY.....AND they can market it to all the people that LOVE to watch movies on their laptops....it's OK on a plane but I personally much prefer Blu-Ray on my 61"1080P TV:cool:

Remember these pics at the bottom http://www.appleinsider.com/article...veal_more_of_apples_next_gen_macbook_pro.html

batter case will be Air-esque with the cover covering most of the bottom.
 
of course

though I thought a few mins ago this way I think not. I think we'll see this being the small MBP, its enough of a change and will make it drop in price, less materials. If they two two dif internals, it could be priced in two ranges in this size, think MB price and 1899. They could claim its covers pros, and if you were a REAL pro you'd get the Mac Pro, see other announcement, and not need a laptop that costs $2600 for 17inchs, you then cut out differentiation of types and cost of manu for multiple models.

This would be a good idea, if only they listened to me. Think an update on current MBP specs would be a nice base for intro MB in same packaging? They could then go MacBook and MacBook Air, no need for a Pro model, some pro people would be mad, but If its better than current Pro how could they really complain?
 
Looks like it is carved from soap

I once made a convincing handgun and escaped from jail with it.:eek:
 
Now, before we continue I'd like to just make a follow up.

I want to clear up what I said before. Now, I said that we should take care when building new laptop designs. We will. Because we can't afford to continue to make only standard quality cases if we want to improve our image to the world.

Now, me and the other members of this forum do agree on one thing: that we shouldn't sacrifice too much function for form. And we won't.

Now, take a look at what others are proposing. They want to make the laptop thicker, just so they can have their S-Video port and their dual hard drives, AND, they want it to have an extra expansion bay.

Now, I disagree. I think, now, we need to take a look at the average pro-user here and think about what they need. They want power, they want portability. Now, they're not going to sit on a couch and edit video or render molecules, no. Now, they're going to have a set up on their desk. That way they'll have the options, if they want to, to add the components they need on the outside. Now, but they'll never have to carry it all with them if they don't want to.

Now, that's our fundamental difference, and that's why we should continue on the road we've set out. Not what's been going on here for the past few years. We need to move forward to a different goal, using a different path.

Now, as you can see, we will still have the greatest laptops in this class, now, if we accept that, now, the move, now, forward, now, is going to come with changes, now. Now.

Now.

PS. Now.

:D:D:D;)

Ok. Someone's been watching too much Political Coverage.
 
I personally would like a MBP without an optical drive. I don't really use the drive when I'm out and about anyways. Of course I don't want to pay for the drive either it should be included with the laptop.
 
Seriously, look at the picture!

How could the new Macbook be even thinner than the width of a USB port?

It seems a little bit strange :confused:

So what if the computer sold included it, but the computer cost 1800 or 1900, does that make you happy. If it is priced below current MBP but above Air would that make you happy cause its included in the price?
