I would kill for this hypothetical machine:
MacBook Nano
- Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.0 GHz
- 2GB RAM
- 32 GB solid state hard drive
- 11 inch LCD @ 1280×800 resolution (16:10 ratio)
- ExpressCard slot
- iSight camera
- mini-DVI out
- USB 2.0 x2
- 6+ hours of battery life
- Less than $3,000 USD
Note the lack of DVD drive, to save space. This thing should be small and light. I’d be okay with a keyboard that wasn’t quite full size… but no smaller than 80% of full size.
I’d take this with me everywhere, along with an EVDO ExpressCard. This machine could do everything than my MacBook Pro could do, minus Aperture (too small of a screen, not enough storage space).
Am I the only one who thinks that these, like the 12″ PowerBook before it, would sell like hotcakes?

Make it a Windows Laptop, add a few more USB ports (for good measure), and it’d be less than 3/4 of the price the Apple “version” would be.
But it’d be running Windows.
Seriously though, if Apple doesn’t make it I’d consider a Sony (or other reputable brand) “Hackintosh.”
Matt it is easy to whinge about the price, but if you look at the amount of time a lot of us spend on a computer I think it is easily justified.
Just needs a bigger SSD but not to worry - that will happen this year.
