The trackpad freezes after almost 50 clicks because of some unknown reasons and it starts working again after another 10 failed clicks.

If that fault appears as hardware related, it can be a big problem for the company that may lead to a messy recall and make many without a shiny MacBook. However, Apple claims that the problem will be fixed with a simple software update.

Steve Jobs told a customer via email: “Software will be available soon to fix the problem soon.” This make people think that the problem is Software related.

This email leads to further speculation as Steve Jobs doesn’t like to type email responses with more than three or four words.

It has also been told that the humble MacBook is undergoing the sametrackpad problem and will also be settled with the coming software update.

The ‘Brick’ (as rumors are) is a top-end notebook computer that has been constructed with a single block of aluminum and it will address those concerns that many users had regarding Apple’s svelte Air notebook launched earlier this year.

Another rumor circulating these days is that a MacBook is available at just $800.

Though the price is low and idea is exciting, it looks somewhat uncompetitive given the quantity and sometimes quality of Intel Atom-powered netbooks available out there.

The rumor mill doesn’t seem to stop here, as some other suggestions floating around that MacBooks 13-inch will be getting an aluminum skin, WiMax wireless connectivity and Blu-ray drives may also find their way into these notbooks.

For accurate rumor-free details you will have to wait till next Tuesday (Oct.14) as Apple is going to reveal all at a Cupertino press conference on that days.

According to Asus claims, the machine weighs even less than a kg and specs are better than Apple’s MacBook Air.
So far specs are concerned; the S101 has an Intel Atom processor and Intel 945 Express graphics, an integrated four-in-one card reader, 3 USB ports , easily changeable battery( with a good lifespan of five hours), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a nice RJ-45 Ethernet socket.

Now lets talk about the size (it does matter!), the S101 is 18-25mm thick with a multitouch trackpad and a 10.2-inch 1024×768 high resolution screen. The thing that makes it somewhat inferior is an underwhelming 0.3-megapixel webcam.

The S101 will be available in Windows XP Home versions as well as in two Linux versions.

Some reports seem to suggest that the keyboard of the S101 is somewhat better than the currently available batch of netbooks and it can prove a sales tipping point for many.

The fashion savvies will find the S101 in a wide range of colours including graphite, brown and champagne. The S101 will be available in early November with a price tag of £449.

The next Tuesday will be the day when Apple is going to launch some of its new products. It is expected that the release will be all about a new iPod Touch, updated iPod Nanos and iMac range of 20-24inch that has received a speed boost with faster processor and more memory.

There are also talks about the new designs of MacBook and MacBook Pro (that may be available in aluminum casing), but it seems that they may not be ready till next week.

Similarly, much-awaited cheap mini-notebook, which is being called the rival of Asus eee PC, may not appear this year but we must hope for the best.

During the last week, the price of the quicker notebook was around $3,098, as narrated in a promoting note found on Google’s search cache during the last week. The Apple-enthusiast site MacRumors.com uncovered the item. A reduction of $200 from $300 was made in the processor upgrade while the price of hard-disk was dropped $599 from $999.
It’s not a new thing for computer makers as they often drop prices with the drop in component prices. The Air was unveiled in January at the Macworld Conference in San Francisco.

The machine is a class of its own with its 13.3—inch display large size keyboard, 3 lbs weight and extremely thin hinge.
This thinness of the machine has been achieved in part by a smallerized 65-nanmeter Core 2 Duo processor that has been derived from Intel’s older Merom line. The processor consumes less power while delivering comparable speeds and it is almost 60% smaller than the usual Merom chip but at the same time it is considerably slower than the new Intel Core 2 Duo processors that have been used in other new notebooks.

The inches in the MacBook Air have also been decreased by utilizing a slimmer hard drive and reducing its CD/DVD optical SuperDrive on the whole.
