While most of the focus at Macworld has been on the Steve-less Keynote, there is a lot more going on behind the scenes that is sure to be missed even by the intrepid reporters at Mac|Life. Luckily for us, The Onion got an exclusive look at the revolutionary new Apple notebook, the MacBook Wheel.

The new notebook offers no keyboard and is the easiest MacBook to use ever with its one button interface. A single giant button and slick scroll wheel is all you need to interact with Apple's latest MacBook.

The state-of-the-art button includes such features as intuitype and predictive sentence completion. Why complete only one word when you can complete an entire sentence quicker, and with better grammar. In only a few thousand clicks, and about 45 minutes, you can complete that thank you note to dear old Mom for all those Christmas gifts you received last month.

The physical aspects of the new notebook need to be seen and felt to be believed. Its state of the art unibody construction is super thin and its virtually unbreakable, unless dropped or hit. Featuring the new ultra-thin Hummingbird battery, which lowers the weight of the machine dramatically, the MacBook Wheel holds a charge for an incredible 19 minutes.

Check out the video below for exclusive information about the new MacBook Wheel.
