Office 2010 Professional Plus Key, netbooks
When asked right now concerning the possibility of an Apple netbook, Steve Jobs explained a thing for the result of, “The market place is just acquiring started – we’ll see the way it goes.”
Huh? Here’s how the netbook market’s going,
Office 2007 Standard Product Key, Steve: pretty much each main laptop or computer organization features a netbook but you. Apple’s a prime candidate for any netbook, too. Know why? Because it is just about the one company that could get away with offering it for properly about $500. I wager Apple could market a netbook for at the very least $600 or even more.
So why should Apple, specifically,

1. It gets men and women inside the door at a reduced cost level. Remember the Mac Mini? The Mac Mini’s sole goal is always to get individuals who're scared off by Apple’s fairly substantial prices into the sport. But there’s an issue; no one really buys desktops any a lot more — especially not novice and/or basic computer users. Everyone buys laptops now.
At $999+, getting into an Apple laptop is a bit daunting for most folks. But offer the Apple portable computing experience at near Mac Mini rates, and see what happens. There’s no big danger in offering an Apple netbook at $600 or more, so long as the next least expensive option remains at $999. PC notebook manufacturers don’t have that same luxury. You can’t price netbooks higher than your cheapest notebooks.
2. Netbooks are big on the whole alternative operating system thing. Regular people who would normally buy Windows-based computers are buying Linux-based netbooks without ever having used Linux before. It’s an even shorter leap to OS X. I mean,
Office 2010 Home And Business Key, you already own an iPod, right? I use a PC for day-to-day stuff but I’d buy a Mac netbook for traveling since I know it’d be well-built, fast, and great for surfing the web.
“Regular” people would probably do the same thing. They’d say, “Oh, this doesn’t have Windows but no less than I’ve heard of Apple and I like how it looks.” Plenty of people have at the very least used a Mac before, as well, even if they usually use Windows.
3. It is time for Apple to put out another small-ish laptop. No matter how light the MacBook Air gets,

Even bring back the 12-inch screens. I saw an old 12-inch iBook G4 on the train the other week and did a double-take. They just don’t make ‘em like that any much more.
4. The iPhone and iPod Touch desperately need to be integrated with a thing substantial. I’m not saying to go the RedFly or Palm Folio (R.I.P.) route and make the netbook useless on its own, but maybe make the netbook the one device that lets you easily tether your iPhone or perhaps include pre-set wireless synchronization or some thing. I’m also a huge fan of the idea of letting the iPhone/iPod Touch serve as the trackpad for the device, but you want to make the netbook so that people can buy it without having to own the other devices.
5. Make the decision easy for everyone by giving it a multi-touch screen like the one on the iPhone/iPod Touch and a good keyboard like the one on the MacBooks. Men and women complain relentlessly in regards to the trackpads,
