As I woke up this morning (another year older) the first thing I did was look out my window to see if the sky was still there and the sun was shining.
And to my delight, it was.
So rather than thinking about how much dough I lost in the market and how crazy this economy is, I thought I'd focus on something I'm really looking forward to that will indirectly affect AutoSpies.com.
The upcoming new notebooks from Apple that will be unveiled on October 14th.
If you're a car lover then you love AutoSpies.com and if you're a Mac lover you love MacRumors.com.
Just like us, they always seem to have the scoop first.
But 001 is surprised that among all the speculation about how these machines will be configured, that they all could have missed the biggest change coming to these notebooks.
SCREEN SIZE.
Not one of these sites are speculating that the new machines will up the size of the screens from 15.4" to 16.4" and 17" to 18.4" to compliment beautifully the Blu-ray equipped hardware, ala the new Sony FX and AW machines.
The Spies say that a 16.4 unit would not only be a great idea but would give the user a much smaller form factor, with a screen virtually as large as the old 17" unit.
So by changing to the 16.4" screen Apple would effectively 'Air-ize' the current 17" unit.
The 16.4" case would just be a touch larger than the 15.4" case but if people object, Apple can just point them to the MacBook Air (New config's of them coming as well).
I can just hear the marketing speak...All the advantage of a 17" MacBook Pro, with the footprint of the old 15.4.
I know i would go for that form factor for sure.
Have the Spies just unveiled the biggest scoop coming from Apple on 10/14 or are we grasping on straws?
We would love to hear your feedback and also love to know how many of our readers are 'Mac' people.
