Your Thoughts on the new 13-inch MacBook?

[Barmi]

That is the new MacBook, Right?

Well, it's the newest. It's not exactly new any more... using 'new' as a relative term.

Looks very good, but I doubt it will be a great hit due to it's size. Only if it's cheap then it would to some people.

What is wrong with its size? It's a perfect size, and a hit with students. I've got an older white MacBook from October '07, but there are many, many MacBooks (old and new) in lectures.

Everyone loves 'em, hopefully Ill be getting one this year and thats coming from a hardcore PC user.

13 inch sounds alright yeah... The Nvidia card and all that also makes it interesting, however it's hard to say whether it's a netbook or not. There's alot of debate about that. :S

It's not a netbook. Apple don't have a netbook; only notebooks. The problem if they released one would be that it would overlap with the MacBook Air. I believe some people would prefer a tablet to be Apple's equivalent of a netbook. Even the base model MacBook could not be considered to be a netbook.

There are rumors of Apple making a netbook, but they are ONLY rumors.

I got this like 2 weeks ago, I love it

They are rumours with many doubters – mainly for the reason I posted above. Apple would have to market it in such a way that it didn't overlap the ultra-portable nature of the MacBook Air (a high-end product)... leading some people to think that Apple would take a more revolutionary move and release 7" tablet instead of 7" netbook.

It makes no difference to me because the ordinary MacBooks are small and light enough to be portable. It still would be interesting to see what Apple do. I'll be looking to upgrade in a year and a half or so... impress me over the next year, Apple!

Surely it's a laptop, with the power behind it? Netbooks are usually small, lightweight and only used for basic browsing and functionality? This has a powerful graphics card and probably a powerful CPU (Ooo, look at me getting geeky! ).

I have on, I'm on it right now. You cannot admire the beauty until you have one yourself, I absolutely love it! It's just perfect. Size ii great too, just right. Easy to travel with.

You can't call the MacBook a netbook, on any form.
