Apple to Introduce Sub-Notebook in JanuaryDecember 6, 2007

CNBC is reporting that Apple will introduce its much-rumored sub-notebook in January during the annual MacWorld Expo. Apparently, insider sources claim the device will be 50 percent thinner than the company’s existing MacBook Pro and utilize flash memory in place of a traditional hard disk drive. The new sub-notebook will be smaller than other notebooks, with a much more efficient 12-inch or 13.3 inch LED screen.

Details coming soon to a MacWorld Expo near you!
