Sources say that Apple has finished work on test units of a 15-inch LCD for an upcoming ultra-thin laptop from Apple. The report calls the new machine a 15-inch MacBook Air, with the use of integrated SSD and lack of optical drive being the most notable changes allowing for such a thin design. While we don’t know for a fact, we expect that any future “ultra thin” laptop from Apple will also dispense with a built-in optical drive. As evidenced by its recent release of the optical drive-less Mac mini, Apple has no problem leaving physical media behind.
As Apple stock keeps rising, we expect great things from the company. On Thursday though, Apple took a hit as it plunged below 400. Just two weeks ago, Apple was only 50 billion dollars short of being named the most valuable company in the world. The title is held by Exon Mobile at the moment with 366 billion dollars. As of Thursday, Apple has come that much closer and is at 350 billion, putting it just 16 billion short of the title. We do expect this to happen, unless there is a drastic change in the stock market, which is always possible. With all of Apple’s products being big sellers in today’s market we do not anything less. Do you think Apple will overtake Exon Mobile in the coming days?
