I think people will love the Newton so much that they will start longing for it for on their MacBooks. They should make a large Newton.

Why are people saying the MB / MBA keyboard WONT feature on the MBP as its not very Pro?
What keyboard does the Mac Pro ship with? Is it not the wired MB / MBA style keyboard?
It cant do as 'thats not very pro!'
In my experience the MB / MBA Keyboards are very much like the current Apple Keyboard. Thin buttons, very laptop-like whereas the MBP keyboard feels more like a professional office keyboard a la Logitech. If you'd close youre eyes you wouldn't notice you were typing on a laptop
Sarcastic *******?? hello?? the LED screen is already thinner and available. believe me, they can improve what we have by now.
touch screen comp
I dont see any benefit in an touchscreen computer. You can't get anything done faster nor can it do it for you. So what's the big reason to have a touchscreen computer.
and yes I have an iPod touch, and love it.

Hopefully they'll update the Mini, which has to be worst rip-off i've ever seen in a computer. $649 CDN for something that doesn't even come with a keyboard and mouse, let alone a standard DVD burner?
For what it's worth, I just got a 2 Ghz Pentium Dual Core, 2 GBs ram and 19 inch LCD for $599 from Dell, and say what you want but its waay faster than a mini.

LOL. Actually, and honestly, NO. I would get the new Newton if I want that. What I want is the laptop with the Multi-Touch tactile surface.
But what's wrong with having the option to? You know you'd use it sometimes. Your laptop is not always in your lap.
haha, good luck saving weight with fibreglass. Also, you'd have a helluva lot of trouble actually using the screen (as you wouldn't be able to actually see it).
They actually used a CF-frame in the tibook (under the white border).
CF is not that expensive – especially if made in sheets.
The laptop you want will be out this year. The laptop I want will be out in my dreams tonight
Hahahaha. That's like saying the sun will rise tomorrow. Way to go MR. Pick the safest news title possible.

I know what you are saying, but people are arguing that this style keyboard isnt very 'pro' - even tho the most 'pro' computer Apple builds (Mac Pro) comes with this style keyboard!
I'll bet that when the MBP gets a complete overhaul, the keyborad will be the same a the MB / MBA keyboard. They wont have a completely different style keyboard for 1 pro model, and not for another!
Ok glass yes. But a glass screen on a laptop is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. Can you say cracks, and breaking??? It is NOT going to happen in an Apple Laptop. It will be the freaking Newton. Isn't that good enough for you??? lol. Have you even read what Apple is planning with all the alterable tactile feedback in the Multi-Touch surface they are patenting??? I would WAY rather have that than some impractical touch screen on a laptop with a keyboard any day!
And that would save like what, maybe one or one and a half millimeters? (0.04-0.06 inches for the metrically challenged.)
More importantly, it most likely wouldn't noticeably reduce weight.
You do know George Bush, right?
OH NO YOU DIDN"T!!!!!
I get what you are saying. But to Arn's credit, I would consider him "well connected" and you've got to admit he's got a good track record...

A glass-type material that weighs less than glass is all i meant.
Either way, it's just depend on what you are used to. So I guess you are right and Apple will indeed start using the very same keyboard.
blu ray
You are so damn right! I mean every one knows now that blu ray won the game! So noone has to worry. Just put it in the new MBP.

Apple is just barely starting to implement Multi-Touch with the MacBook Air. And even if they ever do make a Multi-Touch screen which I don't think they will for at least 3-5 years if at all then the OS has to support it. Small detail
If you want a touch screen then what you should be hoping for is the new Newton. That will be separate from the laptops.
I registered explicitly to say thank god someone here has a clue on multi-touch implementation (not a multi-touch trackpad that does gestural recognition, which is then translated into mouse/keyboard shortcuts).
It's a long time away people, those beautiful multi-touch implementations you see from people like Jeff Han etc are built on the software's understanding of multiple XY input interaction points. OS X hasn't even got a shred of that right now, let alone 3rd party software that has any capacity to understand that kind of input.
Apple can definitely deliver a better MBP in every way by now and if you don't believe that then you're a moron.

True, I just think that if he was completely sure that Time Capsule wasn't going to be released on time, the story on page 1 would be something more like "Time Capsule delayed due to..." instead of "There might be a product release this week, but we're not sure, if there is, it might be this or this, but we're not sure..."
Just seems like a slow day to me
