Rumor: New 13-inch Apple ultra-portable dropping with release of Leopard?

Now the rumored 13-inch size would lead one to think MacBook. However the slathering in brushed aluminum, points to a MacBook Pro.

A 13-inch MacBook Pro would retain the size and shape of the MacBook, but would grant it the Pro features, namely faster processors, more memory, Santa Rosa, better graphics, the list goes on as to what the upgrades from a MacBook to a MacBook Pro are. I personally think a slightly smaller, but equally powerful, addition to the Pro line would be great.

Aluminum covered plain old MacBook, well I wouldn’t even bat an eye at that news, in fact it would be kind of boring. So, hopefully they go the other way with it, and pack some serious hardware in an ultra-portable form factor.
