@Adam

That's fantastic, but you are the only one that cares.

It's pathetic that this only has 1 USB port. The sad thing is Apple WOULD make it JUST LIKE THIS.

I bought a $300 Acer Aspire One and it has not one, not two, but THREEEEEE usb ports!! OMG and it also has a DVI port!!! WHAT THE FUCK??? REALLY!?

omg it has audio in AND out ports!??!?

Holy, you guys won't believe this. It even has a multi-card reader slot AND a slot that expands my harddrive space via SD cards!!

Need I remind you it was only $300! And it has a 1.6Ghz processor >_>.

@Otis Good point. I think they will discontinue the Air because the gap will be much too small. They would either discontinue the Air or just not upgrade it until they can release a more powerful model for less or the same price later on. This would definitely kill the Air

@AnteL0pe

Who do you think is going to provide this 3G connection that you don't want to pay for?

I am assuming, if this is real, it will be $899.99 with out contract and $600 (or less) with contract through AT&T.

And the MacBook White will be discontinued.

3Girls: "I do not understand how anybody would want a macbook with a 17 inch screen."

To work with graphics-intensive applications from any room, or on-the-go location, without being stuck in one room with at a 24" monitor, a mouse, and keyboard. That's why.

Interesting concept, but Apple does quite well focusing on higher-class machines for a smaller audience, and has never shown much interest at increasing their overall market share at the expense of that core group. They might be looking at contingency plans if they see netbook sales significantly eat into Macbook sales, but it is hard to imagine them willingly jumping into that low-end-brutal-price-war segment.

If this thing would come with built in 3G that I don’t pay a monthly fee for (a la Kindle) I’d get one on release day even if it cost the same as a more powerful 13″. Screen size isn’t nearly as important as portability to me.

I would love to have a 10' apple notebook but would like it to come with similar functions to the Kindle Whispernet, Tethering with my iphone and be as media savvy as the current MacBook. I do not understand how anybody would want a macbook with a 17 inch screen. Instead I want to comfortable sit on my couch or wirelessly connect to a 24" monitor, keyboard and mouse to use it as a desktop. This will allow me to see content where I need it from work environment, to watching movies to displaying a cooking recipe. It is important to me that the screen is touch screen and can be swiveled when I want to read a book on it while laying on my sofa. I also want to use it as a communication device with my children using Wikipedia and education applications that can be accessed in a group scenario.

The vision I currently have for this device is very different then what netbooks are used for. And that will warrant a hire price point.
