Users that want a 12-inch MacBook Pro really bad (myself included) now have their own discussion forum.
As I’ve noted in the past, I think that there’s still plenty of room in the Mac Portable lineup for a 12-inch MacBook Pro. This is a system that would replace the 12-inch PowerBook G4. Unlike the MacBook Air, that system weights only slightly more, and doesn’t compromise on graphics, optical drive, or (more importantly for Apple), profit margins.
It’s for those reasons that a MacBook Air can’t run Final Cut Studio 2, yet a three-year-old PowerBook G4 can.
The forum in question is a part of 12mbp.com, a site whose home page is in fact a faux Apple product page for the prospective offering.
My only complaint with the forum, is that they’re doing a really bad job of promoting it. The only link to the forum is a “find out more” link buried at the bottom of the home page. If you’re going to have a forum, you need to refer to it as “discussion board” or “message board” or “forum”… otherwise 95% of people are going to miss it.
Update: TUAW liked the article I posted so much, they set up a poll for their viewers to vote on the matter. Go show your 12-inch love.
