Apple Tablet Laptop?


Apple Tablet Laptop - Macworld 2008 - MacBook Pro Plus - Steve Jobs - Popular Mechanics, originally uploaded by Stowe Boyd.

Glenn Derene has cobbled together a mockup for a Mac Tablet at Popular Mechanics. Wow. Takes the best for iPhone and Mac, and does magic with them:

I’ve worked with the Popular Mechanics design team to create the “MacBook Plus” computer of my dreams. It takes Apple’s current technology, interface and design language—from iPhone to the latest Mac laptops—and uses them in a totally new hardware format. I’m guessing it would be pricey at, say, $3000, but that’s only $200 more than the current top-of-the-line MacBook Pro, and I suspect Apple fanboys would cough up that kind of cash for something this slick.

I am holding out for an ultraportable, at the least. However, whatever they do, I hope it has enough video memory to drive my 30” monitor and 42” TV.
