Slim MacBook confirmed... by rapper!

SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. -- Apple will announce a rumored 12-inch, flash-based ultraportable mini-laptop at MacWorld Jan. 14, according to rapper Just Blaze, who performed this week for Apple employees at a company party.

I told you December 4 that a Taiwanese publication called DigiTimes reported that two companies there are supplying electronics for new, unannounced Apple and Dell ultraportable laptops that may ship in January. The Apple device would have a 12.1-inch screen, according to the reports. 

Interestingly, Just Blaze and other performers were not paid money for their performances, according to blog posts. Their fee? They were each given one of the new laptops.

What People Are Saying

Dude - read you own links...

Giz and BG both say that Just Blaze hasn't recieved a laptop of any kind - and won't until after Macworld. He doesn't even speculate if it will be a new laptop or an existing one, though one can assume it will be a new model. Will it be thicker or thinner, bigger or smaller wasn't inferred however...

I am not sure how you came upon the slimmer part - even the Digitimes article doesn't infer that...
