    Default New Cheap Apple MacBook?

    New rumours from AppleInsider have revealed a possible sub-$800 MacBook may be possible in the coming months. The cheap MacBook would have an in-built battery, compete with most cheaper notebooks and would still maintain the high Apple build quality whilst still giving reasonable performance.

    It is not rumoured that this cheap MacBook will have an Intel Atom processor inside of it (that would be plain stupid).

    They look dated yet to other pc laptop manufacturers it looks so much newer, and not junky. And if its $800 and has a intel atom thats just going to be a big waste of fail.
