Rising Mac Sales and Subnotebook Plans
TheStreet claims that they have heard that Apple is expected to sell 2.35 million iMacs and MacBooks this quarter, beating out analyst estimates by 400,000 units.
Meanwhile, they also claim to have heard more about Apple's "subnotebook Mac" which is described as "ultra-thin" with a 10-12inch screen, sleek rounded edges and less than 2 pounds.
They expect the new subnotebook next quarter in time for the holiday sales season, and even claim a memo has been circulated to tell some employees to cancel vacation plans between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
TheStreet has not been a particularly accurate source of Apple rumors, so this should be taken with a grain of salt. However, it is somewhat consistent with recent rumors of a thin MacBook. TheStreet was previously responsible for the Drop in Production of iPhones rumor which was credited to Miller Tabak & Co. analysts, but was based on a misunderstanding ("We don't have an Apple analyst, we don't even have a tech analyst")

I bet they would sell a ton of them....if they're priced correctly. Truism I know.
Having seen some tiny notebooks, they're just too small for me--I like something with a bit of heft, so for me the 15" PB is perfect, as is the current MB or the older 12" iBook. A 10" screen just seems like it would be too darn small!
Also, will the Mac Pro EVER be updated again? I know, lots of threads on that exact question...

to me a 10'' is not practical for a notebook...I think at best they will go back to the 12'' or maybe keep the 13''..and as far is HD space goes...i'm guessing right around 64ish...not anything more..cuz flash mem is ridiculous right now gahd well much love to apple i've been holding off on buying a Mac laptop till leopard came out..and when it does so will these new Macs!!

[…] they have heard that Apple is expected to sell 2.35 million iMacs and MacBooks this quarter, […].
These numbers are very high, even if you include Mac mini, Mac Pro and MacBook Pro sales.
I bet The Street has no idea that there are more than two Mac models on the market. :rolleyes:

Do you want a subnotebook? If what is coming is anything like what they're describing, keep in mind that this will be a very different beast than a current MBP -- it will be a lot smaller, it will be a lot lighter, it will probably have a lot less hard drive space as well as less processing power.

what are the chances you think, that apple might use 1.8" or whatever hard drives like in iPods when/if they to come out with an ultraportable?
As much as i'd like to see all flash, they could have an 80 gb or even 160gb hard drive a much lower costs than what flash would be. And it wouldn't be too huge of a burden on battery life, at least i dont think.
