I'm not a religious man but I might just start believing in intel if they manage to pull this one off.

Put me on the waitlist.

Find a way to install Mac on it and I'm in.

I think i just peed.

the whole thing is a macbook ripoff, a gorgeous macbook ripoff but a ripoff nonetheless. i really wish someone would actually release a macbook knockoff because pc laptops are just sooo ugly

Actually, this laptop is innovative in ways that surpass the MacBook lines -- and I say this as the owner of an MBP 15" C2D. The irony: Ever since Apple's jump to Intel, they've had to *delay* innovations to be certain of unproblematic implementation (and liquidated back stock, no doubt).

Realistically, you won't be able to complain about Intel "ripping off" the MB until Apple catches up by implementing Santa Rosa, a backlit LED, a shell screen and (let's hope) a form as thin as Intel's Metro prototype. I'm not thrilled about my MBP's battery life, so I'm hoping a RAZR-thin stripped-down SR-implemented mini-laptop will give me more airplane time whenever it finally appears.

Actually, the Intel Metro concept supersedes the MacBook in many respects, not the least of which being its RAZR-thin form factor and shell screen. I say this as the satisfied owner of a MacBook Pro 15" 2.33 C2D (with disappointingly low-res glossy screen).

Truth be grunted, Apple has lagged behind other laptop makers ever since the switch from Motorola to Intel. Perhaps this is due to the need for extra testing and implementation on a non-Windows OS; perhaps they need to liquidate back stock. Whatever the reason, the former innovators now routinely show up late to the party.

Whenever Apple's rumored mini-laptop finally appears, I'm hoping it will sport Santa Rosa, a backlit LCD, better battery life, the Metro's form factor and shell display, and the pretty screen rumor sites have been buzzing about. Until then, I'm hoping the Metro concept takes. I wouldn't mind having a Vista slendermeal to go with my trusty big Mac.
