An Intriguing Apple NetBook Mock-up + Bad Display News for MacBook Pro
1:48 pm, January 27th, 2009, Lonnie Lazar
Japanese photographer Isamu Sanada is no stranger to the enticing realm of Apple mockups, and the whole netbook idea just refuses to die, so it should come as no suprise to see this one, a kind of interesting tri-fold take on the idea.
What do you think? Should Apple spend bandwidth going in such a direction, or is the iPhone/iPod Touch really the end of the story when it comes to an Apple netbook?
Given a recent assessment by pro photographer Rob Galbraith that puts Apple’s MacBook Pro display behind the Lenovo Think Pad and the Dell Mini 9 in color accuracy, Apple may want to take a closer look at what’s already in the line-up before going for new product dollars.
Formerly very appreciative of Apple’s display properties from the perspective of a demanding visual artist, Galbraith says of the new high-end Apple laptop, “in ambient light environments which induce screen reflections, the late-2008 MacBook Pro 15 inch’s glossy screen moves deep into the not acceptable category.”

If Apple were to break new ground, it would be a nettop with a touch screen.

Tri-fold means THREE folds, not two. I’m sure you meant bi-fold with THREE panels.

What? 3 fold? Gimme a break, only brocuhers are using 3 fold.

What about actually doing a “tri-fold”? Add one more panel to that device – make it a dual screen. 2 short wide screens separated by a fold. Allow the mouse to move seamlessly between the 2 – just as if you had 2 monitors stacked on top of each other. You could easily manage apps between the 2 screens and not lose much real estate.
I think that sort of solution would be far more acceptable than this single narrow screen. At least, it would be for me.

Gotta be honest, that looks pretty awesome.

The thing is, they’ll make the whole keyboard a touch-pad so that extra fold out is superfluous.

Definately not cool. I know a lot of people who either hate this or put off buying a new macpro because of it
