Apple new Cinema Display too pricey, buy a iMac 24″ or 3 Samsung Syncmaster 24″

Categories: Apple, AppleTV, Featured, Mac Hardware, MacWorld, Macbook

Apple today introduced a new LED based 24" Cinema Display especially designed for the Macbooks, featuring the new Display Port, 1920 x 1200 resolution, stereo speakers, a MagSafe to power your Macbook, a USB port. While the design is beautiful and the added technology makes it more interesting the price is too high for what it offers, it is a iMac case that behave like a Display but without the iMac and if I want to have a bigger display for my new Macbook this is not the correct one, with this money I can buy a iMac 24" refurbished that will be more productive than an dull Display. Sorry Apple, not this time The $899 price is tooo high for a secondary display, instead the smarter thing to do is spend it in two or even 3 display from Samsung, while I won't discuss that the display looks beautiful, but please the price is out of proportion when you can buy an iMac 24" refurbished for the same price and even if you need more thand that, you can buy a Epson or any other Projector that you can hook up your Macbook. Check these offers, while these displays are not Cinema, ...

What to Expect of Apple MacBook Event

Categories: Apple, MacWorld, Macbook

We’re about six hours away of the Apple MacBook event and we are anxious to see if any of the rumors we’ve had so far will be confirmed. So far we’ve seen the Brick Aluminum design; we’ve heard about the Apple netbook which is supposed to cost around $900; we’ve seen Best Buy prices which also revealed different color schemes and we’ve read quite a lot about the price cut everyone is expecting. We don’t know that many things about the Air and we hope we will be in for some surprises. As we did with other Apple events, we’re going to keep you updated later on today when we’re going to be covering the event. Via Mobilewhack

You will NEVER see an iMac ZF5475br

Categories: Apple, Application, Corporate, Mac OS X, Macbook

What I really like about Apple is the simplicity, every mac model represent an economic or professional group with two different colors and nothing else, simple. This categorization is something implemented with the second coming of Steve Jobs to Apple, because I remember when the Performa Line had those strange numbers attatched at the end (Macintosh Performa 5210CD), but thanks God, this aberration is not more. In the other hand, you could still find that almost every pc maker still uses numbers to differentiate one machine from another, sometime the differentiation is vague, more megahertz, more video ram, a dvd burner, making the experience painful to the buyers that have to check every single machine to know the different between them. Take for example I tried to buy one Sony Vaio Laptop, I got macs at home and at the office so a pc would be some kind of experiment, I went to Sony Style Online Store searching for laptops, there are 6 different laptop categories and an umpc, I chose the Sony Vaio TZ Series, this serie has the next models: VGN-TZ2000 VGN-TZ2500 VGN-TZ298N/XC VGN-TZ295N/XC VGN-TZ285N/RC VGN-TZ270N/B VGN-TZ250N/B VGN-TZ250N/P VGN-TZ250N/N All of them with different prices and specs, don't forget that this is just a model from the ...
