Lenovo has one, I'm sure Apple could do the same. It would also explain why the new MBP's have not been released yet (can't release them till they release the Ipad). Thoughts?

Not a chance. MBPs have become Apple's gold mine in the laptop market. Half-tablet, half-laptop would be categorized into a completely different market. They wouldn't shift away from something that has been working very well for them
 
The integration would be amazing if it were to ever happen. Course I'm the type of person who sees why Jobs called the iPad the most important thing he's ever done.
 
Apple's patent people have recently submitted a description of the "Max iPad," so it may be a product like this...

:D
 
Plus the screen itself isn't wide enough....Please OP engage brain then open mouth. Why the hell would apple release a macbook pro with a 10" screen? hmmm?

I think maybe he meant a 13" MBP with a detachable screen.
 
In that case he needs to remove him/herself from the gene pool.

You wouldn't last very long in business if you decided to give away your newest tech product with your cheapest macbook pro...

What a bunch of pompous, coarse jerks you guys are.

And who gives a damn is someone starts a thread? Imagine this was the real world and someone started a conversation, would you appeal to the whole group to stop talking about whatever you weren't interested in? Would you sashay over to the conversation just to be a dick and say "people have talked about this before, you really shouldn't talk about it now" or would you, more simply, not go over to the conversation.

If it feeds your egos to be jerks, go for it, but seriously, why are so many people like this? I promise you, you wouldn't be so harsh in real life (or maybe you would?) but through the nice, safe, little filter of a computer, separated by a distance your small courage and large egos coalesce into a single form of pathetic and insolent.

Grow up.

Hmmmmm, out of 14 posts after the initial post, only 1 post questioned the need for the thread, the other 13 posts just happened to think the idea had no merit

True, this is probably some misplaced anger from other threads.....

Would you be this self-righteous in a real conversation?

I think many people would be, if they see the types of behavior in real life, evidenced on here on a regular basis.

But, as I said, I think my anger may be a result of other threads more than this one, this one just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Plus, self-righteous indicates that I think I'm better. I don't. I simply don't have this one fault...I have plenty of other faults.

By the way, when does your new MBP come in? Didn't you order one in the last day or two?

I ordered it, then cancelled at the last second after deciding to wait just a little while longer in hopes of a 3/9 or 3/16 release date. I'm such an idiot.

Anyway, my point was just that internet forums have an inherently different dynamic than a regular conversation, so drawing the parallel and expecting one to have the same rules/mannerisms as the other just isn't realistic. If we all used our real names I'm guessing that would be a little different. Personally I'm afraid of having my personal info on the interwebs as it is. Being a licensed/board certified professional it's already disconcerting enough how much people can find out about me just knowing my name.

I walked into best buy, touched the MBP again (it was creepy, I don't think the MBP liked it) and almost bought. It gets harder and harder. Ebay, BB, craigslist, refurb stores.....so much temptation to make a move now and try to sell later....frustrating.

Either way, welcome back to the wait, remember how terrible it feels?

Man, I'd buy a 10" Macbook Air in a heartbeat if they offered one. Not that they ever will.
 
I'm just waiting for the 13" iPad w/ keyboard dock announcement that takes the place of a MacBook refresh. I'll be curious to see what they add to create the Ipad Pro :eek:
 
A 1024x768, 9" screen on a notebook...just to push iPads? Yuck...that would be the gimmickiest gimmick ever.
