The plastic MacBooks have long sat idle while the unibody MacBooks have gotten a refresh so it would only make sense that Apple is gearing up to launch fresh hardware.

Recent reports coming out of AppleInsider suggest that a plastic MacBook with a thinner design is currently being manufactured and could possibly hit store shelves within the next couple of weeks. Furthermore, they say they will also feature a built-in battery much like the ones found in their unibody brethren.
