Forgive me for the long title but this is almost too good/bad to be true. Good in the sense as its about time I had an option for the 17-Macbook Pro with spaced keyboards and the cool unibody form I have on the 13 and 15 inch systems. Bad in the sense that a computer without a removable battery is disturbing.

But we only have a few hours to wait before well know if such rumors are true or false. So far Im guessing the part about the new 17-inch system is true. But I dont think Apple is dumb enough to release a notebook without a removable battery.

Cook however appreciated the netbooks’ concept. He said that the company is looking for an innovative way to introduce something that can really make a contribution.

His comments have triggered a speculation that Apple might be working on a similar touch screen device. However, his comments on the present netbooks are being seen by some people as not fair enough.

Their argument is that the latest netbook models are not a compromise at all. They are much better than the past models. Their big screens are good enough to surf the web as well as watch the videos online. Also the software being used in today’s netbooks is good enough, so Cook’s complain does not appear to be fair.

There is no doubt that whatever Apple plans to bring is going to be innovative enough. But it is equally true that the present netbooks have proved to be good value for money.
