Apple’s MacBooks Go Pro

Apple does not usually announce new products at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, so it was surprising to see it unveil its latest line of notebooks at the show in June. 

Several days before the event, Apple quietly updated its white MacBook, making it faster and giving it more storage space. The white MacBook houses an Intel Core 2 Duo processor that now runs at 2.13GHz, faster than the next model up, the aluminum MacBook, which has a speed of 2.0 GHz. The front-side bus and the hard drive are matched at 1066MHz and 160GB, respectively. But the downside of the white MacBook is its plastic shell, which is susceptible to cracking.

MacBook Pro screen. From the other side


Rob Galbraith DPI: Revamped MacBook Pro line delivers top-notch display quality

Counterpoint to Louie Mantia's rant about Apple's new MacBook Pro displays from a photographer's point of view. Rob Galbraith compared the displays on the 13, 15, and 17 inch MacBook Pros to an Eizo display and finds them in good company.

MacBook Pro, not so pro screen

Mantia » MacBook Pro, Thousands of Colors

In case you're wondering about the displays on the MacBook Pro, this little rant from Iconfactory designer Louie Mantia should give you some idea. In short, Apple isn't hot on revealing the actual qualities of their display screens (shock horror!).

Enable 4-Finger Gestures on an Early 2008 Macbook Pro/Air | thebws

via thebws.com

I'm going to try this on my late 2007 MacBook (10.5.6) later today. It certainly does have the necessary .kext file to be replaced, so we'll see. If any of you have tried it yourself, please let me know how you went. This is also my first time using the Posterous bookmarklet. I wonder how it's going to look like.

Technological Makeover, Mac-Style

Apple Inc. recently updated its line of notebook computers to include some of the most significant changes made since 2001. The MacBook and the MacBook Pro have essentially been merged into a single line, sharing similar designs and specifications. They are physically differentiated only by screen size, speaker grilles and availability of ports.

Previously, Apple split professional- and the consumer-level Macs, not only by design but by materials used as well. For example, back in 1999, PowerBooks were sleek black notebooks that used rubber and plastic casing. They looked professional and went well with corporate wear.

In stark contrast, iBooks were bright. There was initially a choice between tangerine and blueberry. These colors were later replaced with indigo, key lime and graphite, with translucent plastic and colorful padding made of rubber-like material. When these colors were made available, Apple remodeled the PowerBook, giving it a titanium base for an even more professional differentiated look.
