The MacBook thin IS the tablet.
Multi-touch or stylus?
User choice.

Mr Reese if you are right then I guess I need to start budgeting for a new laptop.

About 3% of Enterprise buyers are planning on including new Macs among their computer purchases this year. Or is that 3% beyond the tiny fraction that bought them last year? Anyway, while 3% may seem quite modest - especially given the Macs would only be a PART of their purchases - it is a 3% new to the Mac world. Additional sales. What's more, those sales are likely to generate many more sales within those companies, as well as some within companies that do business with them. A half-percent here leading to two full percent there running on to five percent further on ... it's an avalanche!

Why is wall street never happy unless they are advertising that you will make MUCH MORE than your company can possibly do???

Then they are UN HAPPY that you did not meet expectations.


Such a bunch of stupid people. :-(

I want a MacBook, no CD drive, normal ports (FireWire, etc.), no modem, 10" or so screen - small and light, good basic laptop that is very durable. I started with the 9" MacPlus, so can easily go to a 10" screen for the small size.

I like to imagine what would happen if Steve Jobs didn't retire, but, instead, sold the company to Google. Google has a similar philosophy as Jobs, they have already collaborated on several projects, and Google would probably allow Steve to retain some degree of influence over product development and, especially, introduction.

I think the new Mac will be a Mac laptop, not a tablet. Apple is too innovative to simply release a tablet that uses Mac OS X with a stylus. An Apple tablet, when one is eventually released, will be a larger version of the iPhone (and iPod touch).

Jobs sell Apple to Google? The voting stock holders of the company and the board of directors would decide that, Mr. Jobs doesn't own Apple and don't think he owns over 50% of the stock.
