MacBook Thin, Mac Pro gets Blu-Ray, Rent Movies in iTunes, Macword 08 Roundup

Looking back there hasn't been an update since September. While I am tempted to apologise I also have to point out that none of the main rumors have changed since then which is disappointing. But to round up what's expected at MacWorld '08 in San Fran...


MacBook Thin
Having been talked about for years the day is finally apon us where we expect to see Apple release its ultraportable Laptop. External Optical devices, Flash hard drive, half inch thick, multi-touch 'intuitive' Touchpad? Hopefully Apple will spoil us with something as ground breaking as the 15" Titanium all those years ago!

Blu-Ray Support
The MacPro and possibly the MacBook Pro too, along with it's speed bump, should see the integration of a Blu-Ray Supredrive making HD for everyone. The top end iMac should get it too.

Mac Pro and MacBook Pro Refresh
As to how big the refresh will be on the Mac Pro is my big question. Why are we still using a case designed specifically for 2 very Hot G5 chips?....

iRent
iTunes get a movie rental service. Woopdy doo. Will be interesting to see the terms and price of the rental though.

Happy New Year. Enjoy MacWorld. Will update the site with all the latest pages and tech specs once I've seen the video!
