    Your post reminded me of this line from Leonard on TBBT.

    I think Apple should make just one MacBook Air: a 12.4" model to replace both 11.6" and 13.3" models.

    That's all I have for today.  I'm all tired and stuff.

    It is called MacBook Air powered by OS X.

    I think Apple could delve into the sub $1000 category more with an 11" MB powered by an A8. $799.  64 GB. Done.  Reserve Retina for iPad and higher end Macbook Airs.

    Is JP Morgan's new Apple blog called iStupid? iOS isn't made for a mouse. Get over it.

    ...just not Domino's. Nasty stuff unless combined with a six-pack. Then you don't notice, at least right away.

    No need to get too serious, people. Nothing but an analyst's wide-eyed speculations. It really should be thought of as alternate reality fan fiction for institutional investors.

    Both are Michael Bay vehicles so I'm not sure where the dumping occurred. Shia LaBeouf won't be in the next Transformers.

    Why would they use iOS when they already have Mac OS X with all the components that are needed for a desktop OS? That "full-featured" version of iOS for a notebook is Mac OS X. I would have given JP Morgan more credit if they said that Apple could leverage future A-series chips by compiling Mac OS X to run on it either as Mac OS X or as a new OS name.

    IDK, the idea of an expanded iOS running, with kb/touchpad, on a somewhat more powerful device than an iPad intrigues me.

    There are several no-man's-lands separating iOS and OSX -- the file system and multiple, overlapping windows. The touch UI on the iPad could handle these -- but I think a mouse/touchpad would provide a superior experience.

    Consider a device with 4-8GB RAM 128-256GB SSD.


    Aside: My iMac 27" is awaiting service and I am typing this on a Mac Mini -- 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD ... It is pure agony compared to using a iPad 4 -- even though the Mini has a BT KB/Mouse and a 23" Cinema Display.
