Apple's Next Laptop

Apart from the fact that I want one really bad (although less bad than I want an Alienware laptop :p), there's been a lot of talk going about what hardware is it going to have. There are several options, some better than others, but nobody seems inclined to leave all the "fanboyery" behind and do a proper analisys of the posibilities. until now:

The rumorosphere has come up with five competing scenarios for the new Apple laptops:
* Apple may, as Shrout contends, switch to an Nvidia chipset and keep the Intel processor.
* Apple may dump Intel entirely, and adopt an AMD processor and a chipset from AMD’s 2006 acquisition, ATI.
* Apple may stick with an Intel processor, but switch to an ATI chipset.
* Apple may stick with Intel for both processor and chipset, embarrassing all the rumormongers.
* Apple may stick with Intel processors, but design its own chipset, much as the company did in the pre-Intel days.

Of all those options, the one I like the best is the first one (I've had really bad experiences with ATI graphic cards that I'm not willing to repeat and although AMD processors are almost always at Intel's level, IMO they aren't that good for mobile platforms... yet) and guess what, according to the analisys, that's the more likely path to be taken by Apple. Here's to hoping they do. And here's to hoping I'll have enough money for one.
