Apple's latest: Following their certain smash success with the new iBook, Apple is developing a new ultra-thin portable for graphics and CAD intensive applications. These new machines incorporate a new variant of the Apple Cinema Display format at 22" diagonal. The screen uses the latest IBM technology which allows a thickness of only 1 mm. The computer measures 11" deep x 17" wide x 1/2" thick. The thin case restricts the use of hard drives to 9 mm format. The latest generation of textile membrane keyboards has been incorporated to keep the form factor extremely slim. The flexible thin film polymer ion battery completes the effect and achieves a battery life of 10 hours. The target market is the high-end graphics and engineering market. I thought I'd mention it because this remarkable state-of-the-art computer ends up with by far the most compact volume of 11 x 17 x 0.5 = 93.5 cu. in. Now that's really subcompact and will travel well everywhere. Sidney Ho ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
