MacBook 13.3-InchApple is planning to introduce 15.4-inch MacBook laptop in the second quarter of 2007. The new model will fill the gap between the current Apple’s 13.3-inch MacBooks and the 15.4- and 17-inch MacBook Pros, DigiTimes reports according to industry sources in Taiwan.

It is expected that the prices for the 15.4-inch widescreen MacBooks are likely to be more competitive than their 13.3-inch counterparts, due largely to the relatively lower cost of 15.4-inch LCD panels, and will therefore help push further sales of MacBooks.

The 13.3-inch MacBooks are available in US with prices ranging from $1,099-US$1,499.

DigiTimes also reported last year that the 15.4-inch MacBook laptops will start ship in May 2007.
