Apple will unveil its 13" ultraportable notebook during the Macworld Expo and Conference, which runs January 15th through the 18th, 2008.
The new notebook will be approximately 50% lighter and strikingly slimmer than the company’s current 15" MacBook Pro offering reportedly. It will have a solid state drive, instead of a standard hard drive, as well as a LED backlight display rather than cold cathode fluorescent backlight diplays. LED-backlit panels offer increased color saturation and are more efficient at distributing light evenly across the entire display surface. They also consume less power, run cooler, and last longer than CCFL-backlit displays. On the other side, it will not include a built-in optical drive.
According to some other rumors, the Apple’s ultraportable notebook will feature a space-saving collapsible connection receptacle on the rear of the unit. In addition, some of the company’s upcoming notebooks might utilize a wide notebook touchpad with multi-touch capabilities.
