MacWorld 2008

Who else is looking forward to it?

I held off on a new mac last year in anticipation of what is coming this week. I am looking forward to the rumored thin macbooks with new docking station.

Any ideas of what more we'll see from Mr. Black crewneck?

Apparently 10.5.2 update is going to be 350MB, that's frikken huge.

It's to make the fresh converts feel more at home

I vote for a Mini MacBook Pro. If Apple made a Sony TZ size/spec MBP I'll order it straight away.

Why do you want an ultra-portable? http://macenstein.com/default/archives/1020

Errr.. thin electronic stuff is cool?

Cool does not necessarily guarantee usability - even for Apple.

Also the guy did point out that the MBP is already incredibly thin.

Will have to agree on that - there are places where you will need to sacrifice speed so as to get the computer into the least space as possible.

The biggest factor is the size of the keyboard and the monitor - too small and you can't type properly.

A 15" monitor is just right for myself as I run at 1024x768 and at that resolution the icons and text aren't too small.

Taste differ, others might find 17" more suited to their taste and their work.

17"? Heck I want them to roll out a 19"+ and get this silly notion of an ultra-portable out of their minds. The MacBook is plenty portable enough imo.
