MacBook Lineup Holds Open Spot for New Options

Today was Apple’s WWDC. Everyone is mostly paying attention to the new iPhone announcement.

However, people are overlooking the potential for something really exciting. Apple announced they have moved the traditional 13 inch aluminum macbook into the macbook pro lineup. This leaves only the plastic body 13 inch macbook as the sole computer in the plane macbook lineup.

What does this mean? Well, netbooks are one of the greatest growing segments of laptops now. Apple could have purposefully left open some spots in the macbook lineup for a Apple branded netbook. Further, they could potentially unveil a tablet laptop, as has been speculated to be in development for some time now.
