Secret site reveals Apple's cheap laptop

View at Times Online
Apple is preparing to launch a range of budget laptops next month, according to the website that was sued by the computer company earlier this year for leaking its plans for another line of low-cost machines.

It is thought the laptop, which will be powered by microchips from Intel - a first for Apple - will be designed to take on cheaper rivals such as those produced by Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Sony.

The Think Secret site, which correctly anticipted the release of the Mac Mini in January and was promptly slapped with a writ for revealing trade secrets, said: 'Apple is planning to release its first entry-level iBook laptops with Intel processors next January ... highly reliable sources have confirmed'.
