Macbook Wheel leaked outside MacWorld

Listen to article

The biggest surprise from Apple this year did not come from Phil Schiller’s keynote at MacWorld 2009 which has just concluded but from an unexpected source. And no, it’s not the unibody 17″ Macbook Pro with an 8-hour battery life either. It’s codenamed the Macbook Wheel.

Apple dropped the keyboard on this Macbook and replaced it with a huge click-wheel. See video below.

*hehe*

Hello again! Another update on Bid Wars (lowest unique bidding cellphone game)! Just reading thru their website http://www.bidwars.com.ph, aside from the chance of purchasing the MacBook at the end of the week, Bid Wars is also giving away daily consolation prizes worth P1000 prepaid load or gift certificates to each day’s lowest uniqe bidder!

What can you say about that?:)

The only people who will buy this is those Apple fanatics that would buy anything that Apple sells. I have nothing against Apple, but they clearly missed the spot with this product, in perspective.

Who would want a computer that will took you god knows how long to type a paragraph and to say it costs $2600! It is outrageous to sell that product at that price.
