I would love to see them drop the differentiation between the MB and MBP lines - let me get a base configuration 17" or a superpower 13". One other thing to consider: from patents like this it's obvious that Apple will be coming out with a multit…

Incidentally, iSuppli put the cost for 8GB of Flash at only $70 (that's a 30% profit margin for Apple based on the 16GB iPod Touch). That means that using the same figures as above, Apple could probably purchase 48GB worth of 16GB NAND flash chips …

Basically, the question is how much flash memory Apple can afford to put into this device. We can actually get a good idea of this based on the disparity between the iPod Touch 8GB and 16GB. iFixit dismantled an 8GB iPod Touch and found two Tosh…

Assuming, then, that Apple releases a SSD-based ultraportable with either HDD or flash-based expansion options (basically, "use an external drive for larger stuff; if you want more onboard storage then fill up these expansion slots; you can fit up t…

Because of the added real estate w/o an optical drive, what's to prevent Apple from putting two 5mm HDDs side-by-side, thus enabling a real

How thick are the thinnest 1.8" form factor HDDs?

Obviously a flash-only SlimBook/TouchBook is going to be pretty expensive if there is a decent amount of storage. It might not be $1K for 64GB, but it will still be pricey. What is the thinnest HDD that could conceivably be put into a ThinBook and s…
