My two cents.

Look at Apple's trends. They have been incorperating multitouch into the laptops. The batteries are becomming smaller and longer lasting. OS X 10.6 has been shrunk. They are moving to SSDs (drives). And Apple has been refining "inkwell" in the last revs. Apple is even looking onto incorperating 3g into their laptops along with GPS.

Look at the existing laptops. Thinner and thinner. Take away the mechanics of the lid/monitor, remove the keyboard and flip the monitor over. MacBook Touch.

As long as it has a full version of Mac OS X anyone with a laptop would use one. Try to open a laptop on a flight lately? You can't open the lid to see the screen. Let alone type. A tablet Mac is the next logical evoloution. That said, on screen keyboards and handwriting recog. Is a must. Apple knows this already. Look at the first and last Newtons.

Sign me up, I'll take two today.

I was planning on getting a 13 inch MacBook pro but I’ll wait until October to see what happens. Also , new iPod touches will come of too. I can’t wait.

An insider would tell you, were it not for non- disclosure discipline imposed by Apple, that any tablet with a multi-touch interface would rip right to the top of the “netbook” market but at a higher price-point, reflecting Apple’s insistance on controling the hardware-software integration and quality that meets and usually exceeds the higher expectations of Mac-anything users.

Matty… go to Macrumors and look up all Apples Patents… they are all to do with Tablet form factors, not Laptops…

I would DEF buy one. I have been looking for a product that has the form factor of a netbook but is cool like macbook air and less than the million bucks it costs to get a MBA.

This is not a tablet but multi-touch netbook and there is no definitive answer as to keyboard or lack thereof. the 13" macbook is probably on its way out - hence the new 13: macbook pro, and so this will take its place at a slightly better price point. Apple will actually increase its margins with this device replacing the 13" macbook and driving more people who want laptop functionality to the higher priced MBP line

I’d buy a tablet, as long as it has 120gb or more hard drive. I wouldn’t bother with a 10″ netbook though, the 13″ screen is a good compact size.
