15.4" MacBook in 2nd Quarter 2007?

Digitimes claims that Apple will be shipping 15.4" MacBooks in the second quarter of 2007:

Apple is planning to introduce 15.4-inch MacBooks in the second quarter of 2007, according to industry sources in Taiwan. The new model will fill the gap between the company's 13.3-inch MacBooks and the 15.4- and 17-inch MacBook Pros that form its current notebook line up, and is expected to boost shipments of Apple's Intel-powered MacBooks, the sources add.


Historically, Digitimes has not been very accurate with their predictions, but a number of recent Digitimes rumors have been corroborated, if not confirmed. (LED-backlit Laptops, Apple Notebook with Robson Caching)

I wonder how they would spec it to keep it distinct from the Pro. And how much it would cost?

They can keep it distinct from the MBP simply by continuing to include Intel integrated graphics and some of the really whizz-bang features like the illuminated keyboard and other masturbate-worthy perks.

Oh, and maybe LED backlights for the LCDs in the MBP, and conventional LCD tech for the MacBook.

By the time that 15" MacBook is out, I think the upcoming, new and improved integrated graphics is coming out. Doesn't sound exciting, but it's not going to be bad at all. I would actually upgrade my current MacBook to a MacBook with that integrated graphics chip when the time comes. :)

(Well, I was considering an upgrade to a MBP, but lets see what happens...)

I think this is a confused rumour. The reports are probably for the new Pro, not a normal 15.4" Macbook.

It says this 15.4" model is to "debut". That suggests to me it's new, rather than an update.

As has been pointed out, it's a Digitimes rumour. I wouldn't pay to much heed to it.
