Apple Inc. (AAPL) announced today a new product line for linux enthusiasts. After months of implementation, the engineering team at Apple announced today that they are about to release a new series of Linux-based Apple laptops, called LinuxBooks. The team described the product as a "unibody-enclosed, powerful, apple-customized linux laptop". The team indicated that the laptop will feature most of the existing hardware of their MacBook Pro line, but with an altered keyboard, a VGA output port and an extra USB port. The new LinuxBooks will run the popular Ubuntu linux distribution with what engineers described as "minor modification add-ons" to fully support the hardware and power management capabilities of LinuxBooks. The team announced that all the extra software bundled in Apple's Ubuntu will be open sourced and available to the community.

Apple declined to comment on the release date of LinuxBooks, but sources close to it claim that it won't be available before October 2013. An Apple spokesperson added "We want everyone to be able to enjoy the superb engineering that comes with Apple MacBooks, and we hope this new product will appeal to those open source hackers who haven't yet been convinced to switch to a Mac. Now that Linux has achieved 99% percent penetration in the desktop, it is only logical that we offer a solid Linux laptop. The LinuxBook will be hands-down the best linux laptop you can ever have, and we are sure linux enthusiasts are going to love it". The spokesperson declined to comment on rumours that the late S. Jobs had turned down the project 3 years ago.
