Artist’s Rendering of the Possible New MacBook
I'm not a big one for rumor sites, but this rendering of the possible new MacBook is about as cool as I think a laptop can be. While I understand a friend's criticism that the size of the pad could create issues for hands and wrists trying to type, but I think the size issue is a compromise. It probably won't be this big, but it'll be bigger than the Air's trackpad.
I have to say that I like the black border on the screen as well primarily because my background is dark, and this lends to the illusion that the border simply isn't there. This is going to be vastly different for folks with lighter backgrounds, but it certainly hides the iSight camera nicely.
In the end, I'm still waiting for the quad-core, 8GB RAM MacBook Pro with the high-end graphics and HDD, and if I'm lucky, I mean really lucky, I'll get to have something like this with a nice, large trackpad, with gestures, that will make it much easier to do some of the graphics work I want to do. It's like a built-in graphics tablet.
