The MacBook Air never did it for me. Thickness is not the dimension I've been interested in decreasing. I've been hoping but never seeing a 12-inch Intel-based Mac laptop. I like the dimensions and features of the 12-inch powerbook. Just put an Intel processor & updated graphics hardware in it. I miss the 12″ Powerbook. The MacBook Air never did it for me.

It would not make any sense to do it any other ways. Mac OS X will remain as is for the current line of computers that offer more power and features. It will most like be just a 10" tablet and you will also see different add-ons (based on Apple's patents) that lay over the table like a turn table. With zero config, these accessories from Apple and third party will have it's own eco system. HUGH new market for Apple-Guaranty!!!

The full blown desktop version or the mobile version. I think Apple should go with OSX Mobile which is the iPhone and iPod Touch platform. The App Store is just such a powerful way to put software on the tablet at a relatively low price. Developers are just flocking to build apps for the Apple mobile platform. Businessman and students alike would find an Apple tablet indispensable. Of course, it would also double as an eReader to take the Kindle 2's place. Imagine a unibody tablet that would be nearly indestructible. In a year or so, 4G networks should be starting to emerge and videoconferencing would become practical using a mobile version of iChat. I think there are some amazing times ahead for Apple and they nearly have all the pieces in place from desktop to mobile, hardware and software. They're still a little weak on the corporate front, so they need to do some work on managing thousands of devices from a central area, bypassing the need for iTunes.

Well thought out, nicely written piece. For me, weight would matter. I'd like a 2-3 pound, thin, & incredibly light device, so it wouldn't add much weight. It'd also be great if it could sync in some way with my main laptop! Like your thinking! Well thought out, nicely written piece.
