13.3-inch Widescreen iBook?

Think Secret claims the Intel-based iBook due in January will be a 13.3", 1280x720 WXGA widescreen notebook to replace the current PowerPC based 14" model.

ThinkSecret also claims that while the 12" configuration of iBook will remain, the 12" Power Book will be discontinued in the coming months.
The Intel-iBook has been rumored to be released at Macworld San Francisco in January.

hmmm, no more 12 " PB? I dont think a 13.3 screen would be big enough personally.

Well, I'm grabbing an Intel iBook irrespective. I've become quite attached to the 12 inch screen configuration, but I reckon I might be able to get used to 13.3 inches.

But it's bigger than 12 inches, which is already quite a popular iBook size. :)

Sounds credible and apple really need to release a widescreen budget notebook if they are to compete with dell in terms of price and value for money etc.....

This time ThinkSecret doesn't say "highly reliable sources"...means anything?!?
I don't know what is the accuracy and what are the sources of TS.
At the same time whatever will be the new laptop I'll buy one, my iBook G3 600 mhz is getting tired, and I would be so happy with a bigger screen and a new form factor. 2000 euro are too much for a 15" powerbook.
If it would be possible I would install OSX on one of those wonderful new sony vaios... (hope it is true that apple recruited sony vaio engineers to design the new laptop as it was rumored...)

Happy Christmas and enjoy the Advent. (of the new product obviously)

The 12" iBook will remain? In it's current form, or with a new intel chip? That 13.1" model wont be cheap lol

But if it replaces the 14" it could hardly be called a budget notebook. The 14" iBook is £900.

I bet they have millions of 12" iBooks still around and will seel them until they run out of stock.
