I got this from macosrumors:
"These new consumer portables are rumored to sport a larger, 13.3-inch 1024x768-pixel display, improved audio with stereo speakers, a thinner and lighter enclosure that may incorporate some bare-metal elements, the latest UMA-1.5 features (100MHz main bus, 4X AGP graphics, etc), and a new battery design among other improvements."
We shall see, but really I could've sworn I saw somewhere else about the different case design...I'll be all over this new ibook when it arrives. macos rumors also said that it would be coming out the end of april/beginning of may 2001. I don't belive that...I expect macworld expo NY b/c then college kids will be looking for a cheap computer laptop for college (that's the ibook) just like always.
