1) Solid State Drive that moves OS X over to it after boot, seemlessly for subsequent ‘lightning fast’ boot times, as we loading the existing running apps in memory. Only if power drains or some new app is launched do you need to goto the physical hard drive.

2) More focus on cooling the laptops as they are bloody hot on the lap.

3) A ‘custom’ OS X Virtuam Machine that only runs on Apple hardware, VMWare/Paralleles or Apple create the software for this purpose to allow user to test/learn that sometimes crashes, but allows for rapid reload versus lengthy reinstalls of the OS to a hard drive.

4) Find a way to pump music between the keys, or something in order to allow for a numeric keypad that isn’t imbedded in the qwerty layout.

5) LED keyboard that can have key layouts programmed into the key themselfs (and back list too)
this could be re-programmed for games

I want to see an introduction of a computer that even comes close to the 12″ powerbook. Tiny, but had SO MUCH POWER !!!

If Apple is successful in what has been described in the post it will take a lot of time for others to catch up. Even if Apple’s profit is hit by this exercise they should go in for it for it will establish their supremacy in this sector.

I would like to see a max’ed out MacBook Pro with a 17″ hi-res LED screen and a SteveJobs Golden Ticket in the mail to get the first one off the line for free.

I’ll start: I’d like to see a built to order SSD option at least in the Macbook Pro, if not across the board.
