Mac Tablet with Docking Station in 2007? by Apple Gazette — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 17:33:48 +0000

[...] Several weeks ago I speculated about an Ultra Portable Mac with a docking station coming soon from Apple. So you can imagine how pleased I was when I saw this post on Mac Rumors this morning. [...]

I really wonder if Apple is considering of coming out with the new series of ultra portable macbook or macbook pro like the previous powerbook G4 12 inch.

The current macbook is still relatively heavy compare to the rest of the ultra portable laptop available in the market like Sony which is less that 1.8 kg.

Well lets see if Apple is gonna give a BIG suprise with Lepoard or a disappointment coz I am really waiting for a ultraportable mac instead of getting another Ultra Portable PC.

Hey Josh -

If an ultra portable that you can dock to your desk and have function as a full desktop PC already exists in the Windows world then yes, that’s exactly what I want, but with OSX.

I would even consider buying a Windows one for a second home PC. Can you point me to a link to one?

What you’re describing already exists in the Windows world. You basically just want it to run OSX right?

I would welcome an Apple tablet/UMPC. It might interest me enough to learn Mac development and it would provide some much needed competition in the pen computing arena and inspire some new innovation on both sides.

What Elliot said. But give it wi-fi connectivity and a touch-screen. So I can read online mags, blogs, newspapers etc, with as much ease as I would their print counterparts.
