Are colored, slimmer Apple notebooks coming soon? That's what rumor sites want us to believe, and we're taking it all in!

9to5mac.com has the scoops from an "industry insider" who tells them all. They aren't sure if it's a MacBook or a MacBook Pro but they did have this info:

• Black aluminum and silver aluminum (like MacBook Pros) have been seen


• They are considerably slimmer than current MacBook and even a bit more than MacBook Pros


• The screen reaches much closer to the edges than current MacBooks but is the same size as current MacBooks - indicating a somewhat smaller footprint


• The keyboards resemble Apple's new Bluetooth Keyboard


• There is something strange about the touchpad (more on this to come)


• They are set to be priced extremely aggressively


• While they are dense, overall they are lighter than the current MacBooks

Seeing as how Apple is slowly getting rid of the white plastic look and moving to the more slick and rigid aluminum enclosures, we wouldn't doubt for a moment that they may introduce a slimed down, aluminum enclosure for the MacBook. When these are released, it will probably catch some by surprise and bum people out, especially if they just bought a MacBook 14 days prior...
