vbetts Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 That'd be awesome. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117360-rumor-macbook-touch-coming-in-october/#findComment-831310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
djet Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 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?

SStreet Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 . 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) Link: MacBook Tablet Conversion Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117360-rumor-macbook-touch-coming-in-october/#findComment-836808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Fact: It will be overpriced. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117360-rumor-macbook-touch-coming-in-october/#findComment-836947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft_Punk Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I agree, it will once again be overpriced by Apple. Like all of their products... But at least they are better than Microsoft Windows.

Darwinian Dude Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 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.

(MoC) Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 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.

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...
