That'd be awesome.

That looks fairly authentic.... if it's true that would be one of the most BA things ever. Twould pwn the Macbook Air for portability (imo.)

Also this should probably go in the Reader News section.

EDIT: Sorry I did not realize this was concept art, (doh!) so I am not as certain now.

P.S. I remember reading a year or two ago in a Mac magazine about a touch-mac (possibly produced outside of Apple or manufactured). Am I just going crazy or did this actually happen?

Indeed, a company would take your MacBook, replace the chassis, removing keyboard and pad, and becoming one piece (not unlike the photo in the first post)

Fact: It will be overpriced.

I agree, it will once again be overpriced by Apple. Like all of their products... But at least they are better than Microsoft Windows. tongue.gif

Will. Not. Ever. Happen.

Not like that anyway.

I would buy one, but I can't because Apple won't make it. OS X is not currently well suited to touch. A more newton-sized iPhone is 10,000% more likely, and that will never happen either. If it does, I'll steal someones sunday hat and eat it.

They're more likely to do something like this:


That's within the realms of possibility in the next few years.

You do realize the Artwork in the CoverFlow do not match correct?

Kudos to whoever drew these but yeah, I don't think it will happen either. If it does expect it to be around the price of a high end MacBook Pro. For that money though I could get a Sony Tablet which would be a wayy better deal.

I highly doubt it and sincerely hope not... Having a screen dedicated to coverflow what not only be very un-useful, but it would also just be a rather large track pad with nothing new there...
