Is This Apple’s New $800 UMPC?
Is Apple getting ready to cash in on the newest Netbook craze? Rumors have been flying all day about Apple getting ready to release a new, tiny notebook - their first sub-$1000 model ever!
This rumor comes from multiple sources, citing that Apple retail stores have received shipping information and a 12 point price list, highlighting the new model. Former price lists only contained 8 price points. Another factor that may have influenced this decision? People sorely miss the 12 inch Macbook. A smaller addition to the current lineup would be most welcome, especially in these hard economic times.
Either way, Apple is set to host a new Laptop event at Cupertino on the 14th, where new products and updates will surely be announced. More options, more price points, and potentially a new laptop! This could be another big year for Apple.
