"New Macs for 2010 are going to take Apple to the next level"-MBA/13"MBP Mega-Hybrid?

[puma1552]

Personally I think the MBA will be EOL'd. There will be some blending of MBP 13 and MBA, but at the end of the day chipsets will become more powerful at roughly the same TDP (they could get more powerful and lower in TDP, but that just means an even MORE powerful one could be made at the current/target/usual TDP) so I think that there will always be a 1" thick machine to hold the hottest chips on the market.

They can make the slab thinner as more powerful chips come out, but everyone else will still be using the most powerful chips, so if they went that route they'd have powerful computers but still be out of the running performance-wise with the other makers using thicker chassis.

i think we have blown his "next-level" comment out of proportion again...just an incremental update. at least the 15" finally gets an HD option.

If you were in the mobile notebook camp and had been waiting for Arrandale, today was probably exceptionally disappointing (certainly I was).

However, with this anemic 13" MBP update and no MBA update at all, I think that something along the lines of this thread topic is being prepared.

I predict those waiting for a premium portable/ultraportable are going to be in for a treat at WWDC

That's haught. In for two!

I can't believe what Apple just did to their 13-inch line. Steve should be ashamed of himself.
