Apple Macbook Fall 2009

Apple MacBook is the best version to date of Apple’s non-Pro laptop line. Apple MacBook is with a price as reviewed $999 and Processor 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with a Memory 2GB, 800MHz DDR2.  Apple MacBook has a hard drive of 160GB, 5,400rpm. Chipset Nvidia MCP79 is with Graphics Nvidia GeForce 9400M. Apple MacBook’s Operating System is Leopard. It has Dimensions of (WD) 13.0 x 9.1 inches and Height 1.08 inches with Screen size (diagonal) 13.3 inches and weighs 5.5 pounds so it looks very Thin-and-light.

The Apple MacBook trackpad is the same large glass multi-touch version found on the MacBook Pros. The extremely large surface area of the Apple MacBook and the multi-touch gestures-which includes four fingers to minimize every open window and the two finger tap to simulate a right mouse click are so intuitive. It’s surprising that other PC makers have not done a better job of knocking off the MacBook’s trackpad.

The Apple MacBook has 13.3-inch display, at 1,280×800, is now LED backlit, which is better for both power consumption and environmental concerns. Other points of differentiation in Apple MacBook include the lack of an SD card slot and a backlit keyboard. One forward-looking change seen in Apple MacBook is a move to 16:9 displays, which are quickly becoming an industry standard.

FireWire fans should note that the port has finally left. It is thought this would be a good opportunity to add the same SD card slot found on the Pro 13-inch, but it was not to be. Since there is no regular FireWire usage, this does leave Apple open to accusations of removing functionality from the system.

Internal components are very similar to the previous plastic Apple MacBook, which includes the Nvidia GeForce 9400 graphics. The Intel Core 2 Duo CPU has been bumped from 2.13GHz to 2.26GHz, and the default hard drive is now 250GB, up from 160GB  Apple MacBook. Configuration options in Apple MacBook are limited to 4GB of RAM and 320GB and 500GB hard drives.

This new Apple MacBook performed well, and this version was a few seconds faster than the older 2.13GHz MacBook in our Photoshop and iTunes tests. Importantly, these mainstream Core 2 Duo CPUs is easily outperformed with the low-voltage versions found in thin-and-light systems such as the HP Envy 13 and the Toshiba T135-S1310.

Apple’s latest version of the popular $999 white Apple MacBook gets an upscale makeover, while keeping the price the same. Apple MacBook is a strong alternative to the more expensive Pro line, if you can live without extras such as an SD card slot. It’s a best option for cheap and stylish laptop with reasonable price.

Apple itablet to Crack the Market

Having a bad time on laptop with a crook neck or sore fingers from using the scroll pad, how great it would be if u get integrated touch screen with keyboard. Well your problem is soon to be solved in September; from sources market soon is to be flooded with all new Apple itablet.

So difference in this new avatar is portable, having book reading capabilities, audio/video playing computer, with OS of i-phone having 3g support which measures 10 inch only(oh yeah, u are not dreaming!).

Though Apple people simply behaves as dumb and deaf about its features, it is sure they are going to give competition to Amazon’s kindle for document and book reading. It is clear the device will bridge gap between expensive I-pod touch and cheapest Mac book.

But the question is, are we ready to spend $700, when we already have any one of above device. Other concerns are like battery life, OS of i-phone. Apple may find tough time to convince market, when Amazon’s kindle will probably be out at same time.

Further it may find limited audience who are comfortable to virtual keyboard. Moreover analysts say wireless broadband service is not coffee of every table!

But it’s too early to decide fate of gadget; we have to wait until tablet is in our hand. Despite big support, Microsoft’s flop show of tablet in 2004 have not stopped Apple only because they have been massively successful in marketing portable devices, and hoping same this time too so lets wait and watch how tables turn.
