I know I don't visit her often; shame on me... but does anyone know if they will be releasing 12" MBP? Or is that even logistically possible?

Thanks for any info

I think they'll release a 12" McBook later this year as well as the larger one... it only makes sense.

i don't think the 12" pro book will be a reality
the price/performance vs. say a ibook pro wouldn't justify it

i think they will release the 13.3 ibook pro

even 17" may not be released - too heavy to lug around iMHO

I have a feeling that the 12" models will be discontinued and only used for iBooks. I think that MacBooks will only come in 15 and 17" models.

Just my thoughts.

Ain't gonna happen - 13.3" wideaspect intelBook to replace the current 14" iBook. 12" iBook will stay that way with an Intel chipset.

I guess the 'i' in iBook now stands for IntelBook

more that I think about it, I spoke too quickly
12" intelbook and 13.3 wide aspect intelbook sounds right

I don't think Apple will want anyone to make that assumption, I think they are going somewhere with this MacBook thing, seeing that the one just released has Pro after it. I think the iBook is due for a name change too, seeing the internet is pretty much common place now, I'm thinking MacBook Lite or something to that effect will replace it.

seems wide aspect is the nom now, would they release a 'square' one at all?

The 12" PowerBook is dead, and the 12" and 14" iBooks will be dead, too.

Apple will replace all three form-factors with a single form-factor: the MacBook. It will likely be the 13.3" widescreen we keep hearing about.

That would be branding suicide. Apple -- a company that has always been a about strong branding -- has built a name for it's 'i' line of products and it wouldn't make sense to toy with that success. The popularity of the iPod has reached critical mass and Apple is trying to woo those consumers to it's platform. Branding is what will bring them in, and it's the advantage of the platform that will sell them on it.

Who is to say that the 'i' still stands for Internet. It could, as one poster mentioned, stand for Intel. Or perhaps even intelligence, innovation, integrity, etc.
