The timing of an ultra-thin 15" Apple notebook remains a mystery to us as Apple just revamped the MacBook Air with new 11" and 13" models. The ultra-thin market is also about to get much more competitive this fall as Intel's partners begin launching their Ultrabook notebooks. As evidenced by its recent release of the optical drive-less Mac mini, Apple has no problem leaving physical media behind. While we don't know for a fact, we expect that any future "ultra thin" laptop from Apple will also dispense with a built-in optical drive. Many now expect that Apple's design choices in the Air will eventually make their way to the MacBook Pro product, with the use of integrated SSD and lack of optical drive being the most notable changes allowing for such a thin design. While originally priced as a premium product, the Air seems to have found a more mainstream market as its starting price dropped to only $999. They aren't certain if it will be called a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, but it seems that it is already in late testing stages at Apple.Īpple's notebook lineup has received a significant revamp over the past two years, and the introduction of the MacBook Air seems to have finally edged out the low-end MacBook design. MacRumors has just learnt that Apple is working on a 15" ultra-thin Mac notebook.
