- happyseamonster, on 12/05/2007, -0/+43Why does it have to be for an ultra portable? That's the size of the Mac Book. Apple already announced their intention of using LED BLU's for their displays as part of a Green push. They started with the 15" MBP and will eventually use LED for all their displays.
- seinman, on 12/05/2007, -0/+20Apple usually releases new machines at Macworld, which is the second or third week of January. It's been this way for years.
- fuzzmeister, on 12/05/2007, -1/+20I assume you hate Toyota when they come out with a new car every year, too.
- carpetbomberz, on 12/05/2007, -2/+21Speaking of Dell LED backlit 13.3" panels, I have one right now on XPS M1330 and it is the brightest, sharpest laptop display I've ever used. Can't see what Apple is able to do with the same panel on an ultra-portable.
- BossKey, on 12/05/2007, -1/+18LED backlights: Less battery consumption, better color, longer lamp life...what's not to like?
I'd hit it...with my credit card - ozroy, on 12/05/2007, -3/+14Oh God Damn it! My Mac is only 2 years old and Apple are updating their product line already?
- petebot, on 12/05/2007, -1/+10I think you guys can all hold your horses--this hasn't been confirmed./
- ThreeDee912, on 12/05/2007, -1/+9It's too late to release a new product. Releasing a product after the holiday rush is a good thing is some ways.
New product now=Angry customers ("WTF I just ordered a MacBook, I hate Apple") - rdoger6424, on 12/05/2007, -0/+8it's apple. they couldn't confirm their way out of a wet paper bag.
- CraigJ, on 12/05/2007, -0/+8Dugg for sarcasm
- ndonohue, on 12/05/2007, -0/+7yeah it kind of sucks that windows is still the only real option when it comes to tablets (linux isn't nearly there yet)
- Gloony, on 12/05/2007, -0/+6I have to agree; a 13.3" screen does not automatically imply an "Ultraportable" form factor.
It's more the classic "laptop" form factor that went missing in the bit to fit a 17" screen to the damn things several years ago.
12.1" is where "ultraportable" begins - look at the Sony/Tosh/Lenovo range of laptops to see some pretty good examples. - spitsnaugle, on 12/05/2007, -0/+6Shes from Bangkok, give her english a break
- CraigJ, on 12/05/2007, -1/+6Oh crap, I just bought a new Dell and now the spec has been revised up. I hate Dell... You are a moron if you expect the system you just bought not to be revved to better specs in 6 months (at the most) It's technology - get used to it and quit whining.
- Genetico, on 12/05/2007, -0/+5apple products hold their resale value pretty well. I wouldn't worry about selling a macbook if I had to.
- selfdisplaced, on 12/05/2007, -2/+7i want a 12" powerbook back :-(
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -9/+14Butt Sex.
- fakingbush, on 12/05/2007, -1/+6obviously you are not an OS X user.
- DCstewieG, on 12/05/2007, -0/+5That's what she said.
- ozroy, on 12/05/2007, -1/+6Oh come on. Digg publishes every single Mac rumor that comes out, and you are pissed at Apple because there is a possibility Apple will be updating their product line soon? It's not their fault you don't bother to research anything for 5 minutes.
- tolbs, on 12/05/2007, -0/+5correct me if i'm wrong but I don't even think Lenovo has a 13" screen available in both thinkpad and 3000 lines...
- nufoto, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4And when are the new MacPros with Penryn chips coming?? should be an interesting January!
- deadbaby, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4They're going to sell a lot of Macs for X-Mas anyway. If this is really an ultra-portable it's likely to be very pricey which makes it less of a X-Mas gift and more of a "tax refund splurge" sort of gift IMO.
- tracydanger, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4I bought a G5 iMac with iSight as soon as it came out. A month later, they introduced the intel iMac. I still love my G5 iMac. It's a great machine even though there are other things that are faster (much more so by this point). I bought a computer to meet my needs and it still does that. I can't complain (I could, but I choose not to).
- mrsteveman1, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4Oh i get it, a Haiku....sort of :D
- deadnoob, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4im with you. i dont see how making a computer with the same screen size is making it super portable. even if it is thinner, its still not supper portable.
- BossKey, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4You seem to have missed the common observation:
With each Windows upgrade, the system gets slower.
With each OS X upgrade, the system gets faster. - KMartSheriff, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3I see your sarcasm meter is out of batteries.
- m00nmaster, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3So what? I bought my MBP in June and it kicks ass and still will long after all this new crap comes out. It's not like Windows, it doesn't stop working when a new version comes out. I am just happy to not have to use Windows anymore (at least at home...)
- m00nmaster, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3And you'll buy music online when it's non-DRM, 320kbps, VBR, super mega high quality, right? ;)
Never satisfied. - DagMX, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3umm...it's just bloody new screen lighting for the macbooks. I would have thought that having the exact same screen dimensions as the macbook would have been a bit of an obvious tip-off right?
- goudkamp, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3Macs can, I'm sure you can't.
- Gloony, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3Erm... the Dell XPS M1330 *is* an ultraportable, so therefore you *can* see what Apple is able to do with the same panel on an ultraportable: Imagine an Apple branded and styled XPS M1330.
In other words, a Macbook.
Once again the dam holding back the OMFGWTFAPPLETEHBEST flavoured kool-aid has sprung a leak. - tolbs, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3I'm happy with my x61s, runs fedora like a charm. :)
- brickbat, on 12/05/2007, -5/+8For all those people that just bought a macbook, calm down and enjoy it. Version 1.0 Apple hardware is C R A P.
- rowlodge, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2waiting...
- Zimmyzum, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2There's a comment that I'm sure no one was expecting.
- 1CHAMONIX, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2Mac just keeps getting better and better. It would be interesting to do a financial analysis of this apple company and put some money into it. I have also been hearing about this company called Microsoft and I heard it is getting destroyed lately. That is just a rumor probably.
- gr00vy, on 12/05/2007, -2/+4YES! It will be 13 inches!!!!! I was worried they would make it thin and wide. But it will be small and convenient. Yes!
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -0/+2The XPS M1330 is one of the best lightweight laptops I have ever used. A friend has one and the quality of the panel is amazing, very sharp, bright and vibrant colours. A tad expensive, but it's definitely a winner (XPS M1330).
- baller90210, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2i hope so, i'd like to make myself feel good about it since i just bought a macbook
- PrettyAngels, on 12/05/2007, -4/+6notebook of apple , there is pretty good format , but , I will think its price may expensive goes to a little
- lateralus, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2hahahaha.... (L)User Error.
- greydout, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1I'm way more excited about this than I should be.
- seinman, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1Generally, you're right; however, if I remember correctly, the MacBook Pro was announced at Macworld.
- rdoger6424, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1it's the cold
- sg7791, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1On the contrary, I bought my macbook last... October (?), I believe. The first week of the Core 2 Duos, and I'm still having hardware problems. All covered by Apple, nothing hard drive related thankfully, but nonetheless annoying.
- demonstro, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1mmmm, batter
- wtfpwned98, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1I DID just order a Macbook, but unless this one sells for ~$1100 we're talking about, umm...Apple's and Oranges.
- wtfpwned98, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1Why not a Macbook Pro? Because that cost more, right? Well, this one will cost more too, so...as you were.
