Citing sources in Asia, CNBC says (video link) Apple will release a sub-portable notebook at MacWorld in January. Though a little lite on details, CNBC reports the notebook will cost $1500, be 50% thinner than current notebooks, and be flash memory based. This would likely include the introduction of solid state drives (SSD) to the Apple lineup.
With the sub-portable 50% thinner than the current Macbook Pro, the device is likely to have no optical media drive and reduced USB/Firewire ports. So Apple is going to sell me a smaller screen, less features, and less storage for $1500? No thanks. I know some people have been salivating over this for some time, but I just don’t want a notebook with less features than the one I currently own. I love my Macbook Pro and couldn’t image using a computer smaller than the Macbook, which I previously owned. When did CNBC get on the Apple rumor mill too?
