What is your Dream Laptop?

[63dot]

Now I would say a Mac netbook. I have modest needs and my Mac desktops do the job. But on the go, it would be for just internet, email, and word processing, that's all. I don't like to carry around a lot of weight, or anything with a big footprint.

If the price is right, this would be my next Mac. But I know for many, such a simple device, probably run on an Intel Atom processor and with a 10" inch or smaller LCD screen, is just too simple for many a person's mobile Mac needs. I hope Apple comes out with a small netbook that is inexpensive.

As for weight, the Macbook Air is light enough, but for most of us, very pricey for what you get.

Knowing apple, they going to show up with a core 2 duo notebook for $1000. Oh yeah thats the current MB

Give me a NEW (I mean just manufactured) last model 12" PowerBook for $100-$150. Nothing would make me happier.

I bet they are just going to stretch the ipod and put a keyboard on it and claim is a notebook.

This text will always be purple.

Thats obviously not true.

A 8.9'' MacBook Air with 3 USB ports, ablity for nice SSD( up to 128GBs, start at 16GB or 32GBs) and 2GB of RAM.


Of course price would be an issue...but the lower the better!

The new Mac Pro maxed-out but condensed into the Macbook Pro. All for $500 of course.

I know, I know, it's not going to happen soon but I can dream can't I?


But for now a Macbook Pro with a 1 TB + SSD would be great.

I'd have to say make some mods to my 17 uni MBP based on current or leading edge tech. comin within 18 months +/-

- Quad core i7 3.xx ghz
- 16 gigs ram
- 1 TB SSD
- Blue Ray (not sure this is even needed if the wireless 4g or LTE opens up the pipe to have it all online)
- Reconfigure keyboard to allow full num pad (move speakers elsewhere)
- 17" OLED Screen (out there and expensive! but super thin/lightweight)
- Hinge with full 180 degrees opening and strong enough to stay at any given angle.
- Battery life running full power/graphics etc.. 10 hours, energy mode for 14+
- Drop weight under 4 lbs, Titanium/Carbon Fiber body
- 9800 GT 512gigs or next gen graphics card
- USB 3.0
- 802.zz gigabit supported speeds
- Built in 4g/LTE connectivity

oh no.... it will happen though in 5-10 years....
I remember my first computer:
win98, 450Mhz, 64mb ram, 13GB HDD, 16mb S3 Savage graphic card and 15" CRT monitor (which surprizingly enough had a 1280x1024 resolution @ 120HZ!, 15" modern LCD can hardly achieve that...)

Hmm. I really like my late 2008 MBP but...

I'd add:

Core i7 Quad core
supports up to 16GB RAM
1TB SSD
2 FW800 ports
100/1000/10000 Ethernet (might as well right?)
4 USB 3 Ports
Beefier, more professional GPU with support for 2 external monitors (ATI or another option?)
15.4" OLED LCD with 1680x1050ish resolution
Matte screen option.
Battery that gets 8-10 hrs real world useage between charges.
Easy to upgrade HD/RAM like it is now.
Don't really want Blueray as that would mean compromises to OS X.

All for under $2500.

You might want to read my post... I was basing it on tech avail now or in the next 18 months.

Yours is just a dream, not a dream machine.

Wake me when you have something interesting to say.. *yawn*

My dream laptop is one where Kate Beckinsale comes as an accessory. The laptop could ship with a G5 PowerPC cpu and a 16-colour display for all I care
