The Onion is always great.

I'm holding out for the next one that will be 4 oz lighter.

Small price to pay though, for the 4oz that is: No screen, hard drive, or wheel.

 

[DMann]

I wonder what would that make? A MacBook that projects Holograms? Hmm...

Fiber Optics my friend - driven by the cloud.

 

[hendot]

The wheel. Reinvented.

Awesome.

Isn't that awesome!
The OS is built into the logic bored and since there isn't screen to get around and do stuff you get to memorize every part of OS X (or OS X Wheel)!

 

[dpmusic]

Fake.

No kidding.. lol...

This is hilarious though.

 

[DMann]

I love the suggested sentences in the dropdown.

Anyway, I'm not getting it until the Macbook Wheel Pro comes out.

Wonder how it'll do running with a Humming Bird battery.

I don't see the trackpad, I thought they only said they were getting rid of the keyboard! I'm hoping that rev B has a trackpad

 

[Foxglove9]

I can already see Dell and HP copying Apple right now.

awesome!

I think I'll wait to buy until they sacrifice more usability in favor of shaving off an additional 3 microns in thickness.

OMG. You sent that from your MacBook Wheel?! That's so awesome!
Pretty cool knowing that everyone you send a message to knows you have one.
How long did it take you to type that post?

It seems the touch sensitive click wheel functions as a track pad. I'll be holding off five revisions or so until the glass touch-pad gets re-invented again.

For All of Those Who Doubted

The proof is in the elevator.

 

[Beric]

That was actually quite funny.

 

[Jeff321]

I LMAO'd at the predictive sentence technology and some of the sentences that popped up.

 

[Porco]

The Mac Wheel is so huge. I want a MacTini

Yes! So much funnier than the Wheel.

 

[winterspan]

HAAHAHHH! sentence completion!

"The Aardvark asked for a dagger"

 

[M.A.T.Macpro]

What's the point?

What da point havin a wheel on a MacBook,if it's da same size tht u can fit in da keybrd???and if is touch scrn thn u don't even gonna need tht wheel..come on..get real man..really don't think apple would think of something like tht..

 

[Digital Skunk]

I'll buy anything that's shiny and from apple.

This should be engraved on the back of every iPhone.

It should be the ring tone of every iPhone.

It should be on the voice mail when people call.

Lastly, it should be in every email sent from it, as well as every text and MMS... oh wait.

 

[TPALTony]

That was...

...funny as hell!

The last line cracked me up...

"It remains to be seen if the wheel will take off in the business world, where people use computers for actual work and not just dicking around"

Really funny!

You're stuck with Verizon aren't you?

Nope Sprint! The sinking ship. But they are giving this stuff away.
