Laptops/Tablets
I usually steer clear of rumors about upcoming products, but there’s so much chatter about
Apple’s future plans that I need to weigh in. Think of the MacBook Touch as a tablet computer that’s a hybrid combining the best aspects of a MacBook and the iPhone and will be based on Mac OSX 10.6. It is thought to have a 9.7-inch screen, USB ports as well as a SD flash card reader, and have either an 80- or 120GB hard drive. What it won’t have is a mechanical keyboard and rely instead on a screen keyboard. Keep an eye out for it this fall or winter and selling for about $1,000.
