Did Some Insider Just Spill The Beans On New Apple Laptop?

  The below comment was left by someone on this article on CNET about the new apple laptops.

Sure would be cool if they sold a product that could be used as a laptop or a desktop, a la Mac Mini. $600.00 for the 'brick' and you get what's essentially a Mac Mini. $800 gets you the same thing with a bright, sharp, fully detachable 13" display. Not that I would be in a position to know...I just like leaving cryptic comments. And I drink beer at B.J.s on DeAnza a lot.

Fascinating. People may not have picked up the reference, but DeAnza is one of the main streets running through Apple's cupertino campus. The implication is that he is in the know. A detachable desktop/portable Mac as implied here for $800 would be awesome.

Apple employees are fully (and comically) aware of those who stalk their conversations on De Anza. Especially BJ's. Apparently it's a running joke on the campus.

Would NOT be surprised if someone "leaked" this a little too loud to a rather obvious observer.

Just sayin'

Sounds right on to me. And my experience has been that fake leaks are uncommon. Of course that just makes it like a weird take on a 13" laptop with a docking station. Not saying there isn't room for that from apple -- they've been missing that compared to PC laptop makers. 'bout time.

This would also fit with the patent that was awarded earlier this year: http://www.macworld.com/article/131382/2008/01/patent.html
