MacBook Nano to show up at Macworld?
In what appears to be complete speculation, the UK technology news website named ElectricPig has written an article over at their site about the MacBook Nano that Apple will supposedly be announcing at Macworld on Tuesday.

If Apple won’t make it, someone will; presenting, the “MacBook Nano”

You have to choose between the 9400M and the 9600M GT, which are separated by a user log out. According to Nvidia, this is not a limitation of their chips. The hardware is fully capable of running both GPUs at the same time and spitting out graphics like water from a fire hydrant.
And that’s not all…

Further confirmation of MacBook and MacBook Pro rumors
We’ve all heard about the refresh of MacBooks and MacBook Pros. The rumors have been flying, and it’s hard to not start believing at least some of them when they all go in the same direction.

This suggests that the new design will look something like the render above, only with tapered edges.
