I agree Maybe Apple is planning to use the 60 GB Hard Drives on a sub-notebook.

Quote: if that Sony X505 is anything to go by, bring it on..... The Sony x505 is pretty amazing when it comes to size. Apple could make it even better! I say bring it on too!8)

I like the idea about 802.13 wireless optical drives. You can carry a swappable drive without worrying about having cables that could break or get in your way. Smart thinking. And if Apple made an all-in-one Base station/optical drive unit, you coul…

Apple had a story about iChat at 35,000 feet via high speed wireless Internet on Lufthansa. I think this might be the only airline that has it right now. You can read about it here: http://www.apple.com/hotnews/article.../ichat_at_35k/

The Sony TR1a has a nice shape. It has a 10.6 inch widescreen, which is I think the smallest that a screen can really get and still maintain a good resolution. I think that Apple could just refine the shape a bit while adding a slot-loading combo dr…

Not small enough to be considered a true sub-notebook. Normally, a sub-notebook is 3 lbs or less.

That would be nice to see some of the ideas Apple has come up with that have never made it to the market. I bet you there's a lot of interesting stuff.

Well, I guess portability comes at a price, although I do think that some companies think they're selling gold bricks. It can't be that much of a price difference to produce a full featured notebook to a sub-notebook that's missing half the features…

The x505 is now available for order in the US. Check out Sony's website. But I do agree that the market for sub-notebooks is small, since most people don't want to sacrifice an optical drive and some of the ports for portability. However, I believe …

The x505 is the best example of a sub-notebook. It is actually missing internal wireless though, you have to insert a pc card which is included but not built in. But 1.7 lbs. That's next to nothing. For Apple to make a really light notebook, they wo…

Ok well it was just an idea. We don't have to get so defensive.

I'm not saying to be constricted to wireless. I'm saying that Apple could include a base station such as Airport express that you can take anywhere and have wireless anywhere. You people just have to think outside the box.
-
In fact, to save space in a sub-notebook, Apple should just remove the modem and Ethernet ports from the system and just stick with wireless since the Airport Extreme station includes the modem/Ethernet port and with Airport Express this would be a …

How about Apple furniture in contemporary designs? They could do well in that market since their computer designs are so innovative.

13.3 would be too big for a true sub-notebook. I guess 13.3 could be a new PowerBook, but not a sub-notebook.
-
I agree. A 10.6 inch screen would be perfect. I think Apple could still get away with using a combo drive in a device this small. The 10" sub-notebook that Sony makes has an optical drive so I think Apple can definitely do it. I have been waiting fo…
