Apple MacBook Out Does It's Recent Predecessors

Apple is constantly coming out with the newest technology including media players, mp3 players, and smart phones. One of their newest creations is the MacBook. This product specifically was made to replace the iBook G4 series, and was released in 2006. Since then there have been several revisions to the MacBook as well as several different "generations." This laptop is made especially for mac users obviously, but there are other people that have been PC users their entire lives and have bought into the Mac family. I'm not sure I would buy a mac only because I'm a PC girl at heart, but I just might reconsider it after all the hype Apple has received! The MacBook family comprises of several different versions. Thus far the newest and most updated MacBook was released in 2008 and uses a GM965 chip with Intel's x3100 graphics.

The following MacBooks are the different versions available to the consumers:

MacBook -
Consumer Notebook
13.3" screen with polycarbonate casings

MacBook Air -
13.3" wide screen LED display

Ultralight Notebook -
13.3" screen with aluminum casings

Professional Level Notebook -
15.4" or 17" screens with aluminum casings

Several different "options" are included with the Macs including iTunes, iWork, Customizations, iCal, iChat, etc. These products must be expensive if they offer all this right? Wrong! In fact, truth be told, if you go ahead and buy any of the Macs off Apple, then yes you will pay full price. But if you're like every other person, you will want to find the best price even if it doesn't come straight from the company that makes them. The best thing you can do is try places like EBay and Amazon. Hey listen, just because it's from EBay or Amazon or some other auction site, doesn't mean you are going to receive a cheap item. All this means is you will be saving yourself hundreds of dollars, and who doesn't LOVE to save money?!?

Looking at the MacBook on Apple and then comparing it to one found on EBay (which is brand new, in the box, everything included) the price is quite different. MacBook on Apple is about $1,099 and on Ebay the lowest price is around $500. Now that is something you absolutely cannot beat. Again, just because you buy it on Ebay doesn't mean its used. Now if you want to get it even cheaper, go ahead, buy it used or refurbished on Ebay. But if you are worrisome about the quality then get the "new still in box" one. Either way, your saving yourself a ton of money!

Apple MacBook Pro Laptop - Any Good?

I'm tending to a 13" Apple MacBook because I want to carry it to and from work and use it on the train and that is the lightest version of the MacBook.

Since the recent release of the new model of the MacBook and MacBook Pro I'm wondering whether I should fork over the extra $$'s for the new model or get hold of the supercede one which is still available from various retail outlets right now.

If any one has any experience in this area with the different models and their virtues and disadvantages could you post a response. I would greatly appreciate it.

Apple MacBook Pro Laptop - Any Good?
By John Milligan

---

The MacBook Pro is the successor to the 15-inch and 17-inch models of the PowerBook G4 series, and is the first Macintosh laptop to be powered by the Intel Core Duo processor. It has to be said - this is a machine to behold.

This is a fully featured notebook inside one inch of sturdy aluminum and is rated at four times to five times faster than the previous PowerBooks.

The MacBook Pro has advanced wireless capabilities built in and with its Leopard Operatin System it can run both Vista and Mac programs. It has the performance, power, and connectivity of a desktop computer and comes to you with the latest release of the world's most advanced operating system, Mac OS® X version 10. The brilliant widescreen sports a 1,440-by-900 resolution.

A MacBook Pro comes out of the box with something in the area of five and a half hours of battery life if you're just browsing the web and using office applications. Remember the older laptops lasting just an hour if you were lucky?

The Apple MacBook Pro is a sleek and elegant-looking laptop based on Santa Rosa, which features a faster, 800-MHz frontside bus, the ability to address up to 4 GB of memory, and better power conservation. This is an evolutionary improvement in the line, featuring new display backlight technology, a new logic board with more memory capacity and an updated Core 2 Duo CPU from Intel, and nVidia's new GeForce 8600M GT mobile graphics processor.

Though you may have to dig a little deeper into your pocket, all in all, the MacBook Pro is a must have for everyone.

The New Apple MacBook Pro MA895LL-A Laptop For Developers

As you can tell by my recent posts, my search for a new laptop goes on. I thought I had it solved when I was able to negotiate an extremely cheap price for a new HP DV5. but alas it did not prove to be the computer I was hoping for.

It felt a lot like a toy when I picked it up, with none of the solid feel that Apple Macbooks have. I guess my heart is really set on a MacBook but I was a little swayed by price that is the cheapness of the HP DV5. Plus HP was offering $100 cash back on that model at the time!

Oh well on with the search...

MacBook Air Vs ThinkPad X300

---

By Mike T Martin

---

Apple's MacBook Air introduced the world to the thinnest notebook to date. Released in January of 2008, it is known as "ultrathin, ultraportable, and ultra unlike anything else." With the recent announcement of the new ThinkPad X300 from Lenovo, analysts are predicting that the ThinkPad will give Apple a run for it's money. The following is a brief review of each.

MacBook Air

The new Apple MacBook Air comes in a bit thinner than the Lenovo ThinkPad X300, measuring only 0.16 inches at its thinnest point. Steve Jobs actually introduced the new laptop to a crowd of onlookers at the Macworld Conference in San Francisco, by pulling the ultra thin notebook out of an office envelope. With a price tag of just under $2000, this notebook is a bargain in a class of laptops that are usually a bit more pricey.

Because the MacBook Air is so thin, the battery must be built in. Early tests are reporting about two to three hour battery life between charges. Other drawbacks include no built in GPRS/Edge etc, no optical drive, one USB port, and no choice of pointing device. Though it was designed for an SSD flash drive, it can also be purchased with an iPod drive, and Apple is expected to upgrade the drive by the end of the year. Despite some of these early drawbacks regarding features, overall this is a beautiful looking and very durable laptop, which Apple should improve upon over the upcoming year.

ThinkPad X300

Though not as sexy as the MacBook Air, the ThinkPad is built with the business user in mind. While the MacBook air is a consumer machine, this laptop is built more to be a business tool. The ThinkPad has a replaceable battery, replaceable optical drive, and three USB ports, compared to only one on the MacBook Air. The ThinkPad keyboard includes both Touchpoint and Touchpad pointing devices, a very durable / industrial strength built frame, a full set of management tools, and a more advanced flash drive. The ThinkPad also complies with EPEAT Gold, meaning it is one of the most "green", eco-friendly laptops on the market.

Which one is better?

Along with all of the executive minded features of the ThinkPad, comes an executive level price tag. The ThinkPad X300 will be initially made available for around $2,799. So if cost if your main bargaining point, then the sub $2000 MacBook Air is your best bet. Otherwise, your decision should be based on needs. The ThinkPad is designed for the top executive that is always on the run. ThnkPads have never really been known for being "sexy" products, but they have always been thin, while still being reliable. But if you are looking for something ultra thin and ultra cool, at a great price, and you don't need all of the high end business type features of the ThinkPad, then the MacBook Air may be your best bet.

Only time will tell which one comes out on top, but these are both great, innovative products that should spur the ultra thin laptop market for years to come.

My next computer... MacBook, MacBook Pro or PC Laptop

Which computer to buy??

I desperately need a laptop computer to enable me to utilise the two hours a day I spend on the train going to and from work.

I have been struggling with the question of which computer to buy.

I have been examining the options and deciding between the various models of MacBook and MacBook Pro and also being tempted by the much cheaper proces of similar hardware in the PC world.

My problem is that I must be able to run several windows programs on whatever laptop that I eventually end up getting. So my line of thought goes something like this:

1. My first preference is to buy a Mac laptop computer of some sort and find a way to run Windows on it. My preference for the variety of Windows is XP, just because it is so much less bloated and more reliable than Vista.
2. Alternatively I will spend way less money and buy a PC laptop, and then I might try to find a way to install OS X on the PC.

The search goes on...
