Ultra-thin and ulra-light notebook coming before the end of the year - sources
From MacScoop July 10th, 2007 04:18:26 PM -
Apple is headed towards the release of a notebook that is so small and light that it could redefine the standards of ultra-portable computing.
The new notebook is likely to complete the MacBook Pro line-up with a smaller version featuring a 12" display — a form factor that was formerly used on the PowerBooks' entry-level but was discontinued when the line-up made the switch to the Intel architecture in 2006.
Compared to the original 12 inch PowerBook, which is Apple's smallest notebook released so far, the new notebook is said to be half as thick, or something between 0.6 and 0.7 inch (15 to 18 mm). It will also be, by far, the lightest computer Apple ever released, or less than 3 pounds (<1.36kg).
Mock-up below is based on the 12" PowerBook advertising material.
