Apple TouchScreen NetBook Coming This Year?
-
A new Apple touchscreen netbook will start shipping in the third quarter of this year, according to a Chinese Commercial Times article.
The article, reported by Digitimes, states that Taiwan-based Wintek will supply touch panels for Apple's new netbook. Wintek revealed that it is currently working with Apple to develop some new products, but it said it does not know what applications the new products are for. Wintek added that no shipment schedule has been worked out yet, but shipments are likely to begin in the second half of the year.
The Commerical Times went on to say that Quanta Computer will be the maker of Apple's new netbook.

Just remember, wait for version 2 before buying.

Hi folks.
I hope that the screen will be large enough to keep some modeling space above the keyboard and that they will "Finally" include a numerical keypad. Embedding one in a regular keyboard is not very efficient when doing extensive number crunching. Sorry, it is the engineer writing.
Since the availability of 17 inches laptops, I always wondered why do they loose all that space on each side of the keyboard. OK, there are lots of electronics crammed inside these machines but then could probably add a few millimeters to the overall thickness and add the missing keys.
While at it, why not include two screens since such a machine will need a lid to protect the screen.
See attached SU file for ideas.
