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.

I vote a resounding YES for the return of a 12-inch laptop. Just retain the 4:3 aspect ratio for the screen. This way the fonts look good and use a powerful graphics chip like a 8800M and allow us to underlock it Apple style (High, Medium, Low, Lowest) so we can save battery and heat/noise. If they can use the PB15 fans, these are real silent unlike the later ones. Make it thinker but needs to be lighter than 5 pounds like 4.3 lbs max. While at it, ditch the optical drive…allow us to connect the MBA external drive to it. Price it more than MBA for what we care, just give it!.

Hello guys,
Wondering whats up?
Nothing to say right now :D
Folks,
I’m Looking to purchase Entertainment Centers or Wall Units For a new hotel chain I’m working at in.
Can you guys give me a good recommendation of where is the best deal on these? I live in Kansas and I heard that the most important thing about these Entertainment Centers is the cost of shipping and installation.
Thanks
Selma
