Wow, I never even thought of the whole "allow osx to install on PC's" but if they really want to break Microsofts window that is how. I would buy it TOMORROW. I successfully installed OSX on my PC already but eventually deleted it because it was so tedious to get things to work properly.

I think the brick has three meanings together 1.They use brick because it is something really heavy in a small appearance, which could mean the opposite.That apple is going to release something really lightweight in a bigger appearance AKA MACBOOK & MACBOOK PRO.

2.Also bricks are not really expensive, therefore meaning they wont be so expensive.

3. And thirdly that macbooks are now apples brick against windows since they are gaining a lot of laptops' marketshare and if they are less expensive and more innovative it'll be better.

I think those 3 are all tied together and that they are the main probable reasons for the "brick".

a new macbook air, smaller, to compete with the new mini notebooks.

ive got the engadget rss feed and its a constant stream of reviews on these things and how well they are selling, so it makes sense.

and its about time for a mac mini revamp aswell

I agree that would be a great idea. I also have to agree that the "brick" doesn't sound like a very cool code name. But maybe they don't want to draw to much attention to it? Sneaky sneaky.

i totally agree with the gap between the mini and the G5

I think it would be cool if Apple released a new Mac mini, they need to have a really inexpensive, better performing machine for people who have all the peripherals. But in all honesty I'll believe it when I see it.

That being said... the gap between the mini and the G5 (Mac Pro)... is called an iMac. Where has everyone been the last few years? iMacs now days are amazing machines. There is no "gap"... there's just the iMac that fits nicely between the Mac Mini and the Mac Pro....

Anyway, I'm saying tablet IF there is a brick at all. Apple could take all of their "thinnovation" and new technology from the Macbook air, flip the screen around and have a completely new machine with very little work. Especially considering the time frame between Mac Air, iPhone 3g, Nanos/touches, and now "the Brick".

It's gotta be something pretty easy.

there is no brick. there will never be a brick. the brick is a figment of your imagination. you can't pass figments of imagination to other beings. if you could, you already would have passed your little figment to the almighty steve. but because you cannot, the imagination figment can not be passed through his brain; converting it into a working physical product.






















... sorry about that

Hmm, I'm guessing "the brick" is an attachment for the Macbook Air. Think about it... somthing the size of a brick that has all the things that is needed that the Macbook Air doesnt have, DVDR, CDR, extra plug-ins, ect....

Yes I agree. Using the proven working touchscreen from the iPhone, a top selling laptop in macbook, with the stand to make it double as your home workstation that would ELIMINATE having BOTH laptop and a desktop. Kinda like Lord of the Rings, "1 ring to rule them all" a powerful tablet with touchscreen. Just have peripheral ports and you got a solid selling machine to take on BOTH laptop and desktop markets with the sexyness of touchscreen interactions. Id bite for sure!!!

in the photo its oviously not a tablet mac but one of those sure would be popular, and with the availability of low power oled screens and vastly reduced and higher capacity memory, I'm sure the possibility isnt far away, lets see who gets one out first !!!!!
