the rumored "iSlate"
On a report from Reuters there are rumors that Apple's highly anticipated tablet computer is already in the manufacturing stage and the production of the touchscreen device's casing will be in aluminum.
With the upcoming Apple event scheduled for January 27, 2010 the Apple Tablet rumor mill is in high gear. Many think the device will be named the "iSlate" but with the announcement of the hp Slate recently it is hard to tell if Apple would still use any name that involved "slate" in the title. Other rumored names are the iTablet, iPad, and macbook touch.

Last Fall Apple released the Aluminum Unibody Macbook and left the low end white cheap Macbook wanting. This year Apple decided to revamp the entry level laptop by redesigning the shell using the same technology that made the Aluminum Unibody Macbooks a success.
Included with the new unibody construction is the following:
- the thinner, lighter, more rigid construction
- a new built-in battery that lasts much longer
- the removal of all flaps and levers and covers (it now takes a screwdriver to open the back panel)
- a new multitouch glass trackpad
- new Mini DisplayPort video output (rather than mini-DVI)
- combined audio input and output ports (rather than separate audio in and out jacks)
Although we had hoped for a lower price point it seems Apple is content with the $999 price-tag.
Macmall has a lower starting price and sometimes includes a MacMall Preferred Account: No Payments for 6 Months on purchases over $500. BillMeLater: No Payments for 90 Days on purchases
of $250.

Appleinsider had an interesting picture of some price points that may be available from Apple by the 1st quarter of 2010. Of interest is the rumored Apple tablet that has been raging around the net like wildfire. Apple still denies that they are developing said itablet but they are also notorious about secrecy and it would be no surprise if an announcement would come soon.
Also it has been rumored that Apple will finally release a cheap macbook under $1000. Sure the white Macbook sells for a dollar under but it is most likely that Apple will release at least a couple of options for the sub $1000 macbook line up. This was evident with the 13" aluminum macbook being bumped up to the prestigious title of Macbook Pro.

When Apple introduced the new 13" Aluminum Unibody Macbook Pro many people decided that their 13" aluminum Macbook just wasn't good enough anymore.
Fortunately for the budget conscience this left a flood of cheap Macbooks on the market.
Whenever Apple introduces a new line up it is the perfect opportunity for those looking to purchase a computer without paying full retail to capitalize. Sometimes you can even find a brand new previous version Macbook at your local electronics store at a discounted price but you have to act quick as they go quickly.
A good play to find previous version cheap Macbooks is on eBay. Those people selling their previous versions Macbook are anxious and willing to sell quickly and at a much discounted price.
