Adding fuel to the fire Reuters has published a report pointing to a an unamed source who said Apple "will take third-quarter delivery of newly developed 10-inch touchscreens from Taiwan."

The source has asked not to be identified for obvious reasons, added the screens would come from long-time iPhone touchscreen supplier Wintek, which resides in Taiwan.

This only fuels the rumor that the Cupertino-based electronics maker will be releasing a scaled down laptop commonly known as a "Netbook". Will this be the cheap MacBook we've been waiting for?

Apple, in the past, has been clear in their statements that standard netbooks are "principally based on hardware that's much less powerful than [...] customers want, software technology that is not good, cramped keyboards, [and] small displays."

Steve Jobs has even said in the past that he doesn't believe in building a cheap MacBook and that there are not a lot of netbooks being sold, therefore Apple has stayed away from them,but with the success of the iPhone and iPod Touch have they changed their minds.

If anyone can transform the netbook market it is Apple. I look forward to seeing what is coming in the near future!

What are your thoughts on what Apple has in mind with these new touchscreens?

There is no way around it, Apple Macbooks are Expensive! Even with the nifty features, in today's tough economic times it is hard to not only come up with the money to purchase one but also to get yourself to buy one.

The laptop is an excellent piece of technology don't get me wrong but the price point Apple puts on their Macbook, Macbook Pro and Macbook Air is difficult for some people to afford.

If that is the case, then buying a used Macbook makes good sense. Think of it as buying a new car. As soon as you drive it off the lot it depreciates and for every day you own it it depreciates even more. If you were to buy a brand new Macbook and tried to sell it in the parking lot ( still in the box unopened ) I guarantee you would not get what you just paid for it 10 minutes ago.

A MacBook is a great investment though as they do tend to hold their value more then other comparable PC's.

Admit it, you’ve probably fallen under the Apple marketing campaign and found yourself singing along to one of their catchy songs they use to promote new products, stood in line for the latest iPhone, or purchased one –or several—iPods to carry your personal music library wherever you go.

And did I mention their desktop computer and laptops? Not only are they sleek, but incredibly user-friendly. In a world of telecommuting and online business, laptop ergonomics are becoming incredibly important to the average computer user.
