New Apple Laptop 'Confirmed' at Macworld San Francisco 2008?

Wednesday December 26, 2007 4:23 pm PST by Arnold Kim
A BoyGeniusReport claims that Apple promised new laptops to bands performing at a holiday event reportedly hosted by Apple:

Apple had a recent holiday event where they had artists perform (some really big names, too), and they all did it for free! Why did they perform without being paid? Apple promised to give every performer and band member once of the new laptops they are coming out with at MacWorld! Thats all, folks!


The sources of this report are questionable at best, and are not likely in a position of knowing what products are being revealed at Macworld.

What utter-utter drivel. With all the 'rumors' already getting threads on the subject why another one based on such a nonsense story.

And the article link seems broke too.

KT Tunstall must be kicking herself now. All she got when she performed in September was an iPod Touch. :)

Most likely, it's the new ultra-portable "thin" laptop that's been rumored for a couple of years. 64 gig HDD (flash) and no internal optical drive doesn't really appeal to me, but a lot of people want it and it will likely be a great addition to the category.

It might be a revamped MacBook/MacBook Pro lineup, but rumor has it the Intel chipset that supports mobile Penryn processors is delayed. Additionally, I'd question the need for revamping the laptop line. I suspect that given the pressing need for other Apple product line updates (Mac Pro, ACDs, iPhone, ultra-portable laptop, OS 10.5.2) that resources might be stretched a little thin, and especially that we've seen relatively recent upgrades (Santa Rosa, 2.6 coreDuo, LED backlighting, glossy screen).
