Apple Rounds out 2012 with a Bang

Tim Cook promised us at the beginning of this year that 2012 would be a big year for Apple.  Today’s event may very well be the last big product unveiling of the year.  If that’s the case, that’s just fine.  It has been a ballpark year for Apple’s product launches.  New iPad, iPhone 5, new …

Apple Going Pure Intel, CPU and GPU?

I’ve talked quite a bit about my annoyance with the meager performance of Intel’s graphics solutions and I’ve also mentioned Apple’s dilemma in wanting to maintain superior graphics technology in their notebooks.  Long story short, Apple wants to use strong graphics that Intel can’t deliver.  This issue has stagnated the lower end of Apple’s notebook …

The Macbook Air: A Sign of Things to Come

Along with the release of the Macbook Air on Wednesday, Apple did two things.  They dropped the price of the external SuperDrive from $99 to $79, and then made it completely unnecessary.  The Macbook Air was originally criticized for its lack of an optical media drive, limiting its ability to install new software.  To mitigate …

Where Are The New Macbooks?

A few months ago I made a post about the possibilities for the specs of future Macbook Pros.  The article was prompted because Intel had leaked information about a Macbook Pro equipped with their then new Core i5 mobile processors.  Such a leak, coupled with the aging specs and diminishing supplied of the current Macbook …
