Apple notebook event is done, not subnotebook, not Blu-Ray, not $800 laptop
Apple Notebook event has ended with a refresh in the notebook lineup, better graphics, new design and a sophisticated new construction method for Macbooks that revolutionate how electronics are built today.
The new Macbook comes in 13″, Ultrathin 13.3-inch LED-backlit display made completely of glass supporting a resolution of 1280 by 800 (native), 1152 by 720, 1024 by 640 and the new Macbook Pro comes in 15″ supporting a resolution of 1440 by 900 (native), 1280 by 800, 1152 by 720, 1024 by 640.
Apple is adding the new Nvidia 9400 and 9600 chipsets, so users can switch from one to another depending on their needs, Apple promises a 4 hours using the 9600 and 4 hours using the 9400 and at the same time added a new Display Port connector capable of powering a 30″ Display. Apple killed the Intel integrated chipset, the HDMI connector and the Firewire 400.
Apple ups the hard disc size in the 2.0 Ghz Macbook to 160GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard disk drive
Optional 250GB or 320GB 5400-rpm hard drive or 128GB solid-state drive and in the 2.4GHz MacBook to 250GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard disk drive Optional 320GB 5400-rpm hard drive or 128GB solid-state drive.
Both machines are available in November, the entre Macbook is priced at $999 and the Macbook Pro starts at $1999.
Missing in action:
• Apple is replacing Intel integrated graphic processor with the Nvidia 9600 and 9400.
• Firewire 400 is gone, Apple replaced it with a Firewire 800 port.
• Subnotebook, netbook anything except Macbooks will wait for next upgrades, Steve believes it’s a nascent market, too young.
• Blu-Ray is trueblosome, Apple doesn’t want users to suffer licensing cost. (sounded vague) almost all pc makers have laptops with Blu-Ray.
