Another reports claims that the 13.3" Intel MacBook is on the way.

According to this report, Asustek, Apple's iBook manufacturer, has received the contract for the manufacture of 13.3" intel iBooks.

This contract has been previously reported. The 13.3" MacBook is said to be replacing both the current 12" and 14" iBooks.

One iBook only?

13.3" is SMALL

I was hoping for more than just one size screen as well (perhaps, someone else will make a different size MacBook?).

Haha, and here I am, thinking, "13.3" is BIG."

Come on Asustek!

I talked my sis into waiting for the MacBook to replace her G3 but that was last August and she is growing impatient. ;)

I've been working on my 12" iBook for three days (other computer is getting new logic board and processors) and it's killing me. I can't imagine 13.3" woul dbe much better. :o :(

MB has a photo claimed to be a mock up, I am not sure. If t is a mockup then I think they are wrong and that it is more likely to be 16x10. If it is a leak and they are correct then the 13.3inch screen looses almost an inch in height compared to the iBook:(

I think that's the difference between your uses and mine. :p Besides, I'm not used to a 30" monster of a display. I think I'd get carpal tunnel syndrome just trying to use a mouse w/ that thing.

Yeah - admittedly this is the first time I have really given this thing a workout - I usually use it for travel (e-mail, web, light Photoshop).

Still, though, I thinkg a one-size fits all iBook is a bad idea.

Get your eyes checked grandad :)

Seriously though I have two 12" Powerbooks as my only computers and that's all I use.

I couldn't do it on XP or linux but with expose the small screen is fine.

Sorry for the ignorance; I don't know where "MB" is... Do you have a link?
