Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) — A year after dropping “computer” from Apple Inc.’s name, Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs may put the spotlight back on the Macintosh today.

Jobs, who introduced the iPhone at last year’s Macworld conference, may unveil Apple’s thinnest, lightest portable computer yet when he takes the stage to deliver the keynote speech in San Francisco. Such a Mac would be the company’s first so-called sub-notebook in a decade, with analysts expecting it to be less than 1 inch thick and less than 4 pounds.

Sales of Macs, which account for half the company’s revenue, set a record last year after Jobs added faster chips and software that runs programs for Microsoft Corp.’s Windows system. Demand for notebook PCs has outpaced sales of desktop models, and Apple’s reputation for advanced design may prompt buyers to pay $1,500 or more for a smaller Mac at a time when portable PCs can cost less than $500.
