    They should make the iPad mini out of carbon fiber.

    Cannot even begin to describe the amount of things wrong with this article. For one, it's not news. It's a passing rumor at best, not even real speculation. The picture, is of a MacBook (not Pro) Intel Core Duo, White, that had it's shell covered in Carbon Fiber *Stickers*

    It's really ugly. If Apple released a MacBook in Matte Black Carbon Fiber, I'd buy it. But not if it was this shiny, artificial looking _CRAP_ shown in the picture. *shudder*

    Apologies for this rant.

    I wonder how affordable they could make a laptop using carbon fiber instead of their really expensive aluminum process. If it is true, what ever it is had better be good if it is carbon fiber.

    Maybe an added color? Choose between aluminum or carbon fiber

    Doesn't the aluminum body act as a heat sink? Soooo carbon fiber body would require a 100% completely redesigned cooling system.
