Tuesday the fourteenth of October we will know what’s going to be the future of the MacBook. But at the moment there are some suspicions and very realistic rumors about the future MacBook.

What can already be confirmed is that the new MacBook will have a unique production process. Some say that it will be cut out of a block of aluminum as is done with some parts for very exclusive cars. With high speed water or sandbeams a design is cut out of a chunk of aluminum. This will give the MacBook a more solid look and will provide more strength for the case. Do not fear that the nice design will disappear, as we already noticed with the new Imac, aluminum is a fine material combined with the designing skills of Apple.

A more remarkable rumor is that there will be a cheaper version of the MacBook. If this MacBook will have the same production process and the same quality of the other MacBooks is not sure, but it could mean that the ceiling that Mac OSX is facing would disappear and Mac OSX will then be able to get the top marketshare and destroy windows. But the guys over in Redmond should not fear, Mac OSX will still only be distributed on Apple computers, which means that the other manufacturers will still use Windows as their main system. So it could be possible that you can get a MacBook for 1.000$ or €800. Keep in mind that the specifications for this MacBook may be not so spectacular.

Apple will also point the attention to gaming. Mac OSX is still an unknown platform for most gamers and that’s why Apple will include a more powerful (Nvidia) graphics card in all new models. This is another blow in the face for Microsoft, since windows is the only decent computer gaming platform at the moment.

The new MacBook will probably still appear in stores this year with Mac OSX Leopard as operating system. This means that you will still have to wait for a Mac with Mac OSX 11.6 “Snow Leopard” till January 2009.

We also don’t know what will happen with the MacBook Air.
