This is part two of a five part series leading up to MacWorld.
MacBook Pro- The MacBook Pro is a really good computer right now as it is. I think we may see bigger Hard Drive sizes, but other than that, there’s not much more than a price drop that we can hope for. Not to say a price drop isn’t awesome.
MacBook- I’ve already written an article here about what they need to do to keep the MacBook in step with the rest of the product line, but I doubt much will happen with the MacBook. What I’d like to see is a switch to an aluminum finish, but it would confuse too much with the MacBook Pro and the rumored sub-notebook, so I doubt that will happen. I’d also like to see the high end version get dedicated graphics, but thats another unlikely one. Most likely the MacBook will be pretty ignored this MacWorld.
MacBook Mini- Even though I’m calling it the MacBook Mini, it won’t fall near the price range of the Mac Mini. What we’re looking at for the Ultra-Portable notebook (stupid as one may be) is a 12 or 13 inch screen, probably 64 GB of NAND-based flash hard drive space (128 GB as a BTO?) 2 or 3 GB of RAM that is not expandable, and no optical drive. So basically a MacBook without a CD/DVD drive. And an aluminum or black finish.
