WWDC 2012: Apple maintained silence about what

On Monday, the long-awaited presentation of Apple, which the company showed several new products: the operating system iOS 6 , desktop platform, OS X Mountain Lion and new models of MacBook laptops . However, some important issues related to hardware solutions Apple, left without mention.

 

In particular, to everyone's disappointment of the audience at WWDC 2012 though the company introduced an updated line of Mac Proworkstations still did it not to the extent that users expect from it. In order to somehow redeem, Apple CEO Tim Cook after an official report said that the rumors about the failure of the Mac Pro are groundless and the company will continue to work on a new line of these solutions.

In an interview with The New York Times Cook noted that the 2013 Mac Pro users waiting for "something really cool," adding that Apple's are professionals that are used in the Mac Pro is very important and the company considers them one of their most committed users.

The second great news, about which the official scene once concealed is the fact that Apple has abandoned the line of 17-inch MacBook Pro, finding her niche and too. Perhaps in this age of miniaturization of electronic gadget users a 17-inch notebook is really not so much as a 13 - or 15-inch, but there is no doubt that a 17-inch MacBook Pro had its own audience.

Recall that the first 17-inch laptops, which are then Apple has called PowerBook, since they worked on the Power chips from IBM, were presented in 2003, and those MacBook Pro, what they knew most of today's users, debuted in 2006. Apparently, the failure of 17-inch model was caused not only by weak demand for these models, but also concerns about the fact that the production of 17-inch model, Retina-display, would make this already quite expensive models generally unfeasible to the market.

Finally the last important for MacBook Pro users can become the subject of the fact that in the latter 13th 15.4-inch models of the product is applied to a large extent the updated hardware component. According to an independent repair company iFixit, the new laptops, working on the basis of processor Intel Ivy Bridge uses a new wireless module Broadcom, works with Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi 802.11n, and a new memory controller, which allowed to increase the speed of the memory to 1600 MHz.

Also in the last generation MacBook Pro uses a new 4-channel controller for the Thunderbolt, which was formerly the company has not applied, as well as new subsystem with hard disk and SSD-drives. As the latter is used here SandForce SATA III Toshiba production.
