No, the last batch of MacBooks and MacBook Pros were SATA II. When the new 13" and 15" machines were launched on June 8th, these machines were released with SATA. This change in specs didn't impact those with regular hard drives or some of the slower SSDs on Apples build to order options. It did impact those who went out and bought the better, newer, faster crop of SSD's like the Intel X-25 series.And what is their reason for supposedly downstepping back to SATA from SATA II? This makes no sense. If I am understanding this, they originally specd machines for SATA II, then released a firmware update that supposedly respecs them for SATA, but actually has them outperforming original specs?? Sure the firmware was not to boost everything to SATA II instead of SATA? This seems all backwards somehow.

Aren't we all... It's not hard to understand why that is something Apple has avoided though. Cheap devices, tiny profit margins. Apple would want to change the game somehow. Which, as you point out, is why it will be interesting to see if/when Apple enters that arena. The company is all about finding/creating markets with high margins though. A plain vanilla netbook won't be it.I'm still interested to see what Apple comes up with in the netbook arena
Aaah but an oversized iPhone type device would :thumbup:Aren't we all... It's not hard to understand why that is something Apple has avoided though. Cheap devices, tiny profit margins.

Yes, I would put it in my bag like a kindle.If you depend on a shirt pocket to tote it around, no.
But... If you are accustomed to carrying a handbag I suppose it might.
