And then there’s this: this source says he has now heard from manufacturing partners in Asia that Apple is preparing to unveil a new, ultra portable laptop computer at the company’s Macworld event next month in San Francisco.

The blogs have speculated about this, but he says he now has hard evidence that the smallest laptop ever from Apple is only weeks away. He says the device will feature a 12-inch screen and will be 50 percent thinner–and lighter–than current versions of the MacBook Pro. He says the product will not have a hard-drive, but rely on Flash memory instead and likely retail for around $1,500.

It will probably sell for $1500 and then 58 days later, you’ll be able to score one for $999. What do you think?

This is a rumor that has been hashed out, mapped out, and there have even been user design contests centering around this hype. Every time a Mac press event comes up, it’s one of the subjects that always comes up.
