3 reasons why and how we'll see an Apple netbook soon

JK on the Run provides three compelling reasons why an Apple netbook will most likely appear soon -

1. Based on Apple's history, the current MacBook Pro is overdue for a refresh. And with newer technologies available, a netbook is not out of the question.

2. The main difference between Macbooks (the Air and 13.3" models) and Macbook Pros lie in the graphics chip used. The former has integrated graphics, the latter, dedicated. Since other manufacturers have already started using dedicated chips in their 13" units, there is no reason why Macbooks can't. And when they do, they will be added to the Pro line.

3. Without anymore MacBooks, the brand then becomes available for a 10" MacBook, especially when Hackintosh units based on the MSI Wind (and probably soon on the Dell Mini Inspiron as well) are becoming commonplace. Since these are not 100% perfect implementation, a 10" MacBook out-of-the-box will have a distinguishing factor over the rest.

Everything makes seen especially if the MacBook Air is viewed as an attempt to test and learn about the market.
