Several analysts have predicted that Apple shares will continue to move within a certain range.

Rumoured Touch Macbook to drive stocks?

Rumours of Apple Inc releasing a Touch MacBook have been circulating for quite some time. With investors continue to await Apple's next big and innovative product, news of the tech giant filing a patent with a MacBook housing a I/O device was of interest. Apple observers and reports said this could mean a new feature that would enable MacBook users to have more input "motions" with an interactive touchscreen display with sensors placed along the bezel and base of the device.

Since the information is based on a patent, there is no way of knowing if Apple will include the specified innovation to any of its products within the year. The company is known for its secrecy before launching its new products that reliable information is hard to come by.

If a Touch MacBook would indeed make its way to the market, it may be something to watch out for if it could drive Apple stocks beyond the $550 mark set by analysts.
