New Mac Book.....

There is no confirmation available at this time, but Apple is rumored to be close to releasing an ultracompact MacBook in an aluminum enclosure, possibly with a solid-state hard drive and possibly without an optical drive. It is also speculated that they may utilize Penryn processors and they may have a multitouch touch pad. As far as I know, there is no evidence to confirm any of this, and the expected timetable is unknown, although MWSF would make sense for such an announcement.

 

If I were you I would just buy the Macbook and enjoy it. It might get announced in January, introduced in March or so, then you have to wait a bit for all the bugs to be worked out of it. All that time you can enjoy your Macbook already which is fantastic as it is.

 

If you're going to base your buying decisions solely on reports from RUMOR sites you'll never own a macbook or any Apple produce for that matter.

 

I had the same dilemna mate but the way I see it is if it does go ultra portable

1. no more optical drive so no more dvds on the move :-(
2. solid state HDD so very limited storage space, I NEED 200gb

so that wont bother me, and it has just received a normal update so I really doubt it will be that much updated in January if it doesnt go ultraportable, it has everyone i want for it at the moment anyways...
