New Ultra Portable MacBook Out in January?

by Evan Shamoon on November 14, 2007 at 09:02 AM



While we hate to be the purveyors of rumors, particularly those of the Steve Jobsian variety, here's another one to sink your teeth into: AppleInsider is reporting that the long-promised ultra-portable Apple laptop will be making its debut at January's MacWorld Expo.

The system is supposedly a 13-inch jammer, and will come sans internal optical disc drive -- making it about 50 percent lighter than Apple's current 15-inch MacBook Pro.

The use of NAND flash memory, along with an LED-backlit display, will also supposedly help with battery life. Which it had better, because if we get another Mac laptop with a battery that dies in less than two-and-a-half hours, we'll refuse to buy another one (until the next one comes out).

Anyway, take this all wit a grain of salt. But we're excited, if (and that's a big if, which we even considered capitalizing) this is all not just a rumor. Which it might be.

Just saying is all.
