MacBook 'Brick' Codename Speculation
There's been some speculation amongst the mac web about a codename ("Brick") associated with the upcoming MacBook update.
The name originates from 9to5Mac, apparently based on the same Asian sources as the "rainbow" iPod Nanos. The "rainbow" iPod nano rumors were apparently misinterpreted as multi-colored individual iPods, but in retrospect, it seems the term instead related to the colors of the rainbow that the new iPod nano are now available in.
Since then, the site has been told that the new MacBook update will be 'all about the Brick'. The exact meaning of which is left up for debate.
Some are speculating that it is a completely separate device, but based on 9to5's reports it seems clear it has to do specifically with the MacBook which is also rumored to have a glass touchpad.

More sharp edges instead of the curvier Macbook Air design?
The current Macbook is a blend between the MBA and MBP in terms of design, so maybe they are going for a more aggressive look?

"Brick" usually has rather poor connotations. I'm surprised to hear the name used this way.
The heaviest Mac ever?

Brick, probably just going to be all one piece of aluminum is all it means.

Something modular? Bricks are things that connect together to form some kind of composite.

^ Return of the Pismo? Modular drive bays?
Brick…might also mean we are finally getting a G5 notebook.

Please let it be a "macbook touch" tablet type thing. All I need is a larger touchscreen device with 1 USB port and I'm set ;)

My guess would be that the Macbook wont need the 'brick' power supply any more.
I've noticed more and more devices coming with smaller transformers. The one for my nokia E71 is tiny for example, about 3/4 the size of a 9volt battery.
However i'd hope it would be something more like a MacMini replacement with interchangable MXM graphics
