With the possibility of an event to announce a refreshed Apple Notebook line, there have been a few rumors flying around about what to expect. Some of them are fairly believable, but MacBook rumors aren’t. Keep in mind that this is not a prediction, merely what I would like to see, no matter how unlikely it may be.

At yesterday’s Let’s Rock event, the focus was, as expected, 100% music. There was some hope that Steve would pull one of his famous “One more thing…” speeches and whip out a couple of new MacBooks, MacBook Airs, and MacBook pros.
