Apple Tablet Underway? - Time for Touch-Screen MacBook (VIDEO)
Time for Touch-Screen MacBook
2,413 Views - Click for Larger Image

Rumors have been swirling that Apple could be producing a touch-screen tablet computer, combining the direct screen interaction of the iPhone with the functions of a MacBook.

PC World pictured, “Apple trying to fill the gaping hole in its existing notebook lineup by releasing an ultraportable computer, one with Apple design influences and a touchscreen.”

The debate between Macs and PCs has been going on for decades, many professionals preferring the technological components, particularly graphic quality, that Apple provides, but thrown off by its large size. The creation of a smaller, more portable MacBook would be an obvious winner for people across all occupational fields.

The Apple notebook line is currently minimalist and streamlined--to the point that it ends up constraining Apple's growth and outreach to the rest of us that want more choice in what we buy. If Apple were to flesh out its current offerings with compact notebook, though, that's a design idea that not only could I get behind, but also one that makes sense for Apple given its existing lineup. Take that idea one step further, now: What if Apple were to release an ultraportable convertible notebook that combined the best of the tablet-and-touch worlds, and had a keyboard, too? Conceptually, that would take the rumors of both a reborn Newton and a compact notebook full-circle--all while delivering a device that would fill a void in Apple's current offerings.
