MacBook Wheel
Wow. Apple has done it again with the announcement of the MacBook Wheel - the first laptop to get rid of the keyboard. Check out the high res news flash or low res below.
No price has been announced yet. Thanks to Mac user Gen for the news.
Just noticed many new visitors coming through a search for "MacBook Wheel" ! All the mac stuff is in the Mac category or register the RSS for more.
Alternatively you may enjoy the Tokyo Dance Trooper shenanigans - or browse around for more from Japan.

All apple prices are worldwide the same unless you're lucky that the currency has dropped in your favor the difference will not be more than a 100 bucks or so

Belive me, they are NOT the same. Putting aside currency exchange rate, when MBA debuted in USA, it cost almost twice as much in Apple resellers than imported directly from USA (in Poland of course).

Can someone tell me why making it harder to write is better? I can't seem to grasp the use of having "One" button, only to make it slower to type. Why use this when there is the keyboard, with which you can spend some time training and will be able to type a lot faster than if you master this "wheel".

Love the Onion. Good spoof. How about this for keyboardless...What about a touch-sensitive surface where the user starts typing while an adaptive algorithm analyzes the initial typing pattern and maps the rest of a virtual keyboard based on the analysis? Can you say simpler than the wheel, more forgiving of typos, and accessibility for the blind? Any idea if anyone is working on something like that? Well, not really keyboardless. Maybe a brain-implant would be nice...

ROFLMFAO!!! This is freakin' hilarious!!! I used to read the Onion very frequently. Once I was reading The Onion while riding on the subway here in Chicago. I was laughing so hard that I was turning red and had tears streaming down my face. "I probably look crazy," I thought-- then I noticed someone sitting in the same seat as me, but at the opposite end of the train car. He was also laughing uncontrollably but he wasn't reading anything-- it was just his dementia. Then I thought, "Uh oh...!" heh!!

Yeah, my productivity in Word and Excel is definitely going to be better with the Wheel instead of a keyboard

Before I watched the video I thought that they would go the voice recognition route with the wheel,
but clicking one letter at a time? It is worst that texting on a mobile phone (without a qwerty kb)

Now I think, will Apple ever had thought of this "unproductive" idea, typing is way faster than scrolling word to word......

You should try growing a sense of humour.
I agree, I'm not anti-Mac or PC, I just don't have the money to spend on Apples overpriced tiny notebooks and endless amounts of Ipods.
I do like the "I'll buy anything new or shiny from Apple" because i know people like that. Why buy an Iphone, Ipod, and 3 different Mac laptops??? Because they just came out that why!
What really bugs me is when someone latches onto PC or MAC and just bashes the other while endlessly praising the one they support. It is like listening to a bunch of country yokels arguing over whether Ford or Chevy is better.

Hahahaha if this wasn't on the news I'd say it would be an April joke but coming from Apple it doesn't surprise me. No keyboard?!?!?! People use the wheel to choose the letter?!?!?! That will take like forever to write a text, we just saw the guy needed 45 min to type an email something we do in seconds with a keyboard. But the real question remained and that was where Andrea Bennett (journalist) hit the hot spot, will the business world will actual work with a computer instead of clicking or playing around.
The future of computers is not a wheel that will substitute the keyboard but instead it'll be keyboards with no buttons.

So even then, before there was Mac, Apple had games worth playing.

Whoa…this is definitely revolutionary but I’m not sure if it’ll catch on. Ditching the keyboard could be a great space saver and make for ultra light portable laptops but I’m not sure the additional “100 clicks” is worth the loss of a laptops primary source of input (the trusty keyboard). The keyboard is tried and tested and I dont think its time to lose it. Like another poster mentioned, maybe its best to introduce a smaller “Wheel” alongside the regular keyboard and break us all in gently.
