The 12" powerbook had a ton of fans that wanted to stay with the 12" models. Its just one inch but it was the perfect size for use while traveling, at least for me it was. 12″ would be awesome but I don’t think its coming this soon.

Now it's to be seen if they will be available right then or "In two weeks." @Christopher: A pro model at 12" would be tough. #1 is heat dissipation, unless you don't ever want to have children. Seriously though, is 1" more really that important. Do you really need a 12" laptop? That's a very small screen and Apple products are much thinner than your average laptop. Besides, major computing power is only an SSH terminal away. Do you really need all that power locally? My 17" MBP is 1" thin and its only like 7lbs. Apple just confirmed the 14th’s event.

Not exactly what I was hoping for...the $1099 model will probably have comparable specs to the current model. I just can't imagine Apple saved enough cash to justify a better price point for these new books. A barebone MacBook with a gig of RAM, dated combo drive and a tiny 54000rpm HDD for $800???
