WWDC 2008 Predictions - Pt 4 - New Mac Hardware
Following on from my WWDC 2008 Predictions Part Three - .Mac Update, lets take a quick swing at the idea of new Macs. (gotta be quick - starts in 3 hours)
New Macs Announced - 75%
Even with the reported delays of the new Intel notebook chips by a few weeks, I still think Apple will announce a new forma factor MacBook tomorrow with the Aluminum casing. The world is going to be watching - might as well use that spotlight for something that looks so sexy.
BluRay - 65%
Should be made a BTO option for Mac Pro’s, maybe even iMacs and Mac Book Pros
MacBook Air Pro - 10% / MacBook Air 2.0 - 20%
What the hell. Everyone needs a dark horse to bet on.
The Air has been a huge success in many areas - but it is lacking a few features. I could see a small spec bump tomorrow, maybe an extra port or two.
The MacBook Air Pro - why not. An Air with decent graphics chip, firewire, gigabit net. If not now, then soon.
