What is Apple laptop's next breakthrough?

I don't know, but I really hope its something that we will be happy to see and something really unique and ingenious like the current trackpad was...
lol. you'll start seeing nerds with just an umbrella hat and doing their work outside in the rain
**too soon for this
They've had lots of patents related to the cooling of chips in their portables. Maybe they'll create a unique way to keep our laptops cool. Either this might mean that they can really increase clock speeds and keep a thermal window similar to what the current chips produce today.
or
maybe they will keep modest clock speeds while removing fan noise.

haha.. I'd seriously be one of them. I'll be writing a book at the park during a thunderstorm or something. that would be amazing, I think the world is ready

The only think that would be keep Apple from doing this is water leaking in through the Usb or any other ports. What about the vents?
Otherwise I would so buy one.

I've thought about this.. the ports can be closed off (sealed shut) and it won't need vents because it will be liquid cooled. fanless design
They did hire that guy that specializes in wearable media - so my guess is iPants. Surf while you sit - I just hope the keyboard isn't on the crotch - that could get weird in public places.
Yeah. Liquid cooled by the torrential rains pouring upon it while some psycho stands outside wearing nothing more than rubber shorts, a tacky plaid fuzzy mock turtleneck, and a stylish (for 1940) cap holding a golf club way above his head. Tempting the gods to "do something about it", he blinks in awe at the wonder that this magnificent device from some parallel universe actually refuses to shut down while submerged in water.
I can just see the coroner's report now: "Victim found on 9th hole, soaked from head to toe wearing very nice wool kilt with some kind of latex bicycle shorts underneath, melted nine iron fused to hands, holes blown through feet, look of awe on face. Macintosh notebook lying nearby, completely blackened by the blast of lightening - totally destroyed. It appears it was one of the new waterproof series, but it's still not idiot-proof."

Not so weird
The keyboard location could be fun if find the right person to do your typing - but that might make it illegal to use in public.

I don't really see any breakthroughs on the speed side of things. When stuff like design gets an overhaul though. That's usually a breakthrough.

So using the entire aluminum chassis as a heat sink is not good enough now?
Intel chip
So the switch from PPC to Intel wasn't a breakthrough. LOL
Oh your right that was just catching up the others. LOL
I'm laughing with you not at you.

Possibly something touch related. A swivel screen model perhaps with a stylus (even though Apple seem to hate stylus') would be great for artists and engineers.
I think we could very well see a true Apple TV in the near future. Essentially an ACD with a built-in Apple TV and some HDMI input. And hopefully a DTV input as well.
And
Lets add a cable card to this list and make a product that could actually change how we watch TV.
