There are indications that Apple is working on "ultra-portable PCs" and fast-booting notebooks with NAND flash memory according to UBS Investment Research analyst Ben Reitzes. "We believe these new products could start in notebook products with combo-drives (NAND and HDD) or ultra-portables (NAND only), and could be released in time for MacWorld."

Macworld Conference & Expo is a trade show dedicated to the Apple Macintosh platform with conference tracks occurring twice a year in the United States. The next MacWorld is slated for 8-12 January 2007. Reitzes points to Intel's announcement to build NAND flash memory into its own PC logicboard designs due in early 2007 as one of the signs of the looming arrival of the ultra-portables. Intel is Apple's microprocessor supplier. The new line of Macs, if they materialize, could help boost overall Mac sales to 1.24 million during Apple's third quarter.
