For some, it will be a  way to save  and keep the warranty when buying a used "Pro-book."

Apple will introduce a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display in combination with iPad mini

Together with the hotly debated in the press tablet iPad mini 23 October Apple will also introduce the younger, 13-inch version of MacBook Pro display Retina. It is reported by 9to5Mac, citing a source in one of U.S. retailers. The new notebook is even thinner debuted in July the 15-inch MacBook Pro with a modified Retina-display.

Earlier it was reported that, similar to the 15-inch version of the MacBook Pro will be deprived of a new model of the DVD-ROM drive, and the resolution of its screen was 2560 × 1600 pixels (at present "poppy" equivalent setting - 2880 × 1800 pixels). Computer graphics subsystem will only integrated.

New on sale in two configurations, differing processor and internal drive. The prices on the MacBook Pro with a 13.3-inch Retina will be higher than the usual options, and will go on sale machines soon after the announcement. The old model of the MacBook Pro product line will remain in the ranks.

Currently, Apple sells only one laptop with a display Retina - 15,4-inch MacBook Pro. The cost of the compact version with ultra-slim screen starts at $ 2200.

According to analysts, Samsung, LG Display and Sharp supply 13-inch panels in the amount that exceeds the one that took place in the case of a modification of the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro, presented in June at WWDC 2012, at the initial stage. It is assumed that Apple failed to show a 13.3-inch version of the computer at the same time the older model because of production problems.

The proprietor of the eyes with posters MacBook Pro sues Apple

Only Apple has solved problems with the Swiss railway clock because of the design of "OSes" for the iPad, as the country of chocolate heard new complaints. Swiss photographer sued the American corporation, accusing it of illegally using the image in the eyes of advertising 15-inch MacBook Pro with the display Retina.

According to Sabine Lyuvald, she signed with Apple agreement that photo of her eyes, called "Eye Closeup"allowed to be used only as a layout. Typically these images are distributed in low resolution and are protected from use in advertising or for any publicity watermark. That is of no commercial application photos speech was not. Apple is actively using the eye icon in the advertising laptops, including the company's official website.

Now picture a court requires Apple award, were not disclosed. By the way, the California giant has removed the photo from the ill-fated advertising. Are now on display the next generation MacBook Pro flaunt zebras, birds, surfers and the other eye, the holders of which, apparently, no claims against the company.

Hours MacBook Air and MacBook Pro dropped after installing OS X Mountain Lion

Some owners of MacBook Air and MacBook Pro have complained that after installing a new operating system, Mountain Lion laptops were quickly discharged when running on battery power.

According to numerous reports on the official forum support Apple, after installation of the platform OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion laptops began to work significantly less than with the previous system OS X Lion: the battery life has decreased by ten percent, and in some cases has decreased by about half.

Go to Forum Apple, dedicated to this issue, on Monday there were over 450 messages. Members talk about the high temperature of the CPU's idle computer, in addition, in some cases, significant energy consumption, even in sleep mode.

This is not the first time such an effect due to the use of the new OS for the last time. Immediately after the release of OS X 10.7 Lion last year, some owners of MacBook also faced with a reduction in battery life of their computers.

As long as Apple refuses to comment and intends to conduct its own investigation, one of the websites created a poll on the subject, influenced by whether the update on your computer. The survey has gathered 35 000 people.

17.6% of those who voted in the affirmative ("Yes, the difference is visible"), 17.3% - a negative ("After installing Mac OS X Mountain Lion battery life has not changed"). Another 13% reported that it does not have to install a new OS, and 6.5% were unable to determine whether there were any changes in the battery. However, the vast majority (45%) preferred to first learn the results of the survey before answering.

Another approximately 100 people chose the option "I have decided this issue and will share in the comments" were made with a variety of assessments. First of all, it was about using Wi-Fi and Skype, which rapidly discharge the battery.

MacBook Pro Retina: over the edge of your video card

"All is not gold that glitters" . The resolution of a display is not a parameter as aseptic , an end in itself, an absolute value that depends only on the display as many of us might think, is not so! It all depends on the underlying hardware, we must always reckon with it, and also the resolution of the display depends primarily on one component , as well as the display technology itself, of course: the graphics card , a component pushed almost beyond the limit of its potential in these new MacBook Pro Retina .

 

These new laptops fitted with an internal onboard video Intel HD 4000 NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M flanked by the unit to which is delegated the task of managing the now  famous resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels . AnandTech  review has developed a technique that shows how much these two pieces of hardware in the new MacBook Pro are pushed beyond the limit , in fact, just think that already handle a resolution of 1920 × 1200 would be a daunting task even for desktop GPUs.

Using suitable software tools AnandTech has decided to "see deeper" and found that with a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels on the new MacBook Pro Retina, most interactions are fluid, but things change when you try to do a zoom rather than scrolling a web page, in these case frames per second drop dramatically below 30 . Just for comparison, in the 2011 MacBook Pro to do the same operations will be safely above 50 frames per second .

The second thing the guys at AnandTech should improve slightly in Mountain Lion with the new Core Animation , though, as we have stressed several times, we are already beyond the limits of the underlying hardware. They have played around with the Developer Preview is currently available and the results are not quite satisfactory, in fact - see image in the opening article - the above operations are performed at about 20 frames per second.  by

Modbook Pro: The world's first tablet-based OS X Mountain Lion

The American company Modbook Inc. announced the world's first tablet PC-based operating system, OS X Mountain Lion. The device is a plastic laptop MacBook, which engineers have turned into a tablet with a touchscreen that allows the device to work with an electronic pen.

 

When you create a gadget called the Modbook Pro, developers have the basis for Apple's typical of the last generation. The latter has lost the keyboard has a modified body panel and Wacom, having the 512-level pressure sensitivity.

 

E-filling device borrowed from laptop Apple: the Intel Core third-generation up to 16 GB of RAM, hard drive capacity up to 1TB of SSD or 960 GB, wireless adapters Wi-Fi module and Bluetooth 4.0.

Resolution 13.3-inch Modbook display is 1280 × 800 pixels. The device sports a port Thunderbolt, Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800, USB 3.0 and SDXC-card reader.

 

Out in the Modbook sale is scheduled for autumn this year. The price the developer has not yet named.

Apple posted a FAQ list on the display Retina MacBook Pro

The website Apple Support article appeared-FAQ (frequently asked questions) that can make life easier for the owners of MacBook Pro with the display Retina. The company describes the features of the screen with a resolution of 2880 × 1800, offers software options for optimizing OS X for a new laptop, and makes recommendations for setups with multiple external displays.

 

The owners of new MacBook Pro may experience graphical anomalies and artifacts at the opening of unadapted for Retina-display applications. For this purpose, the operating system provides a low-resolution mode.

 

When you start the game Apple recommends using 1440 × 900, if the gamer is experiencing discomfort at maximum settings. It is known that several popular game titles are already optimized for the Retina, including the project Diablo III, which allows you to run the program with a resolution of 2880 × 1800.

When using two or more displays, parameters can be set for each individual option. However, for some screens is not enough, so OS X makes it easy to scale the resolution settings.

 

Especially for those who run on the Mac platform, Windows, Apple has updated drivers for Windows 7 with the Retina, but when you first start the Microsoft of its elements may appear enlarged. The fix is ​​in the display settings of the operating system. Changes made to the virtual machine will not be reflected in the main system OS X, the company noted.

The recommendations of Apple's use of Retina in the MacBook Pro laptops are available, passing on this link .

Owners of MacBook Pro with the display Retina complain about defective screen

The owners of the first batches of MacBook Pro laptop with a screen Retina complain of problems with the display - after changing the image under certain conditions, are traces of the image that was shown before. After a few minutes, the residual image disappears.

Judging by the number of complaints registered on the official site technical support Apple, this bug affected only a small part of the user device. However, given that the effect is only noticeable on a light background, some computer owners could not find it yet.

Consumers who sought help in the stores Apple Store, the company's employees offered to exchange the laptop under warranty.

Apple introduced new MacBook Pro laptop model in mid-June. The computer is equipped with 15-inch production South Korean company LG to record resolution 2880 by 1800 pixels. Also the computer has an innovative system for cooling of internal components.

When considering a high-performance quad-core heating, Apple in addition to blowing the lattice in place of mounting the display further opened to the rear parts of the left and right faces of the laptop vents, which sucked in the air. To reduce the annoying noise, the engineers went to the asymmetrical  design of  the blades of cooling fans.

As a result, the new MacBook Pro and although relatively cool. For example, the idle temperature of the laptop was 30 ° C with a virtually inaudible fans. View QuickTime-video in 15 minutes raised the heat up to 35,1 ° C. Finally, in the form of test run as a benchmark resulted 48,2 ° C - the laptop had to be removed from his knees, putting on the table.

Desktops iMac will display in the Retina 2013

Desktops iMac monoblocks Retina displays will not until 2013, says the developer of service Instapaper Marco Armenta citing informed sources.

 

Earlier it was reported that the next update iMac line is scheduled for later this year. However, in this period, Apple will introduce new models of computers "all-in-one" without a super fine screen to indicate Marco. According to the source, in October or November of this year, a workstation will switch to the Intel Core third-generation (code-named Ivy Bridge).

Recall that in the Retina display in the new MacBook Promodels four times more pixels than the current generation MacBook Pro. Screen resolution is 220 laptop ppi.

Marco believes that the other versions of Apple laptops are not equipped with a display Retina, because the popular models of MacBook Air and Pro can not simultaneously get the LCD panel of high-definition and remain in the current price range.

Previously CEO Tim Cook said that next year they will also update users a series of productive system blocks Mac Pro. It is assumed that by this time the company will introduce an Apple display with a screen Retina.

Testing MacBook Pro with the display Retina

Apple has launched two models of MacBook Pro with Retina-screen, the differences between them are enclosed in clock speed quad Ivy Bridge-Intel Core i7 processor with the integrated video graphics Intel Graphics HD 4000 and capacity flash drive. Cost of younger and older models of 2200 and $ 2,800.

For basic computing laptop meets the 2,3 - or 2.6-GHz processor, discrete video graphics deals Nvidia Kepler GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5-memory, the amount of integrated on the motherboard RAM 1600 MHz DDR3L-memory is 8 GB, HDD lost place of solid state drives 256 or 512 GB.

For a fee you can raise the CPU speed to 2.7 GHz, to increase the amount of RAM and 16 GB of flash to increase capacity to 768 GB of storage. Add RAM can pay $ 200 in both cases, MacBook Pro, but the upgrade flash drive - only in the older model.

It should be understood that the memory is built into the motherboard, so upgrading will not work independently, and the additional volume is better to order the purchase. In the case of the SSD-drive situation is similar - in this case is used instead of the usual 2.5-inch flash drive, and a module on a separate board to direct the flash memory, Samsung PM830 controller and a special interface. The controller shows the performance of miracles, and would not want to part with the Apple-store (it is removed), changing to another product, even with higher capacity.

Testing Samsung PM830 controller on the right give him one of the highest points: get ready for a quick response system in terms of daily work, launch applications, surf the web. Cold start the computer takes around 15 seconds, and out of sleep for a few moments to happen - as soon as you lift the lid.

C in terms of "rate of" CPU issues does not arise here. If last year's best 17-inch MacBook Pro with a 2.5-GHz Intel Sandy Bridge Core i7 gave a benchmark Geekbench-10 760 points, the 2,3 - and 2,6-GHz and 10 810 new items earn 11,844 points.

"Slice and Dice» Diablo III 2.6 GHz MacBook Pro with Retina-screen issued 15-20 frames / s in the resolution of 2880 × 1800 with maximum settings the engine. Reducing the sweep up to 1680 × 1050 will raise the rate to 30 frames / s.

For a dynamic shooter Portal 2 is recommended to play in a lower resolution of 1280 × 800 - the smoothness of 60 frames / s is provided, although if you set 2880 × 1800 rate will drop to acceptable 50 frames / s.

StarCraft 2 Strategy voraciously slowed to 15-20 frames / s with maximum settings and even worse during the fierce battles. It should either keep the resolution, but set a minimum of special effects, receiving 30 frames / s or lower the resolution to 1680 × 1050, but not the best setup.

Incidentally, the new MacBook Pro is able to simultaneously serve four screens, giving each of them his picture. Enthusiasts have already proved, by connecting two monitors to the 2560 × 1440 Thunderbolt-jacks, and a 1920 × 1200 monitor to an HDMI-output - he Retina-screen laptop has worked in the resolution of 1440 × 900.

At each of the screens were running their applications, and managed quite a card, for example, showing four different films. Of course, plenty of wires to perceive somewhat hampered by a full-fledged laptop workstation, but Apple has once again proven professional level MacBook Pro.

The latest Macbook Pro and Macbook Air comparative evaluation (13 inch)

Attracted a lot of attention this week, Apple 15-inch retina Macbook Pro, followed by the latest 13-inch retina Macbook Pro and Macbook Air will also be listed, if you decided to buy a 13-inch Mac notebook, Pro and Air between the choice is very difficult, especially for their price is also $ 1,199. From 10 key points to analyze the Pro and Air, allows you to easily decided which one to buy.

2010, released a 11-inch lightweight Macbook Air

2011 years ago, has always insisted on a small form factor + low-power, using the Core Duo processor

Late 2011 to switch to low-power ULV Sandy Bridge processor

The latest Air uses Intel Ultra Low Voltage The Ivy processor + HD4000 integrated graphics processor clock speed is slower than the Pro.

Round one: the CPU

Pro 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, the Core frequency the accelerated up 3.1GZ, 3MB L3 cache.

Air reasons because of the ultra-low power, 1.8 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, Turbo accelerated up to 2.8 GZ, 3MB L3 cache.

Results: The Pro wins.

Round two: GPUs

Both use the Intel Core i5 processor + HD4000 GPUs have.

Results: tie

Round 3: RAM

Both are 4GB, can only meet basic needs.

Results: tie

Round 4 : hard

Air is Apple boasted four times faster than the ordinary hard disk of 5400 RPM's Apple's solid-state hard drive, 128GB of memory of the regular edition is only enough for basic use, general users need extra money to buy a hard disk.

Pro is another apple small rotation type of hard drive (you can also optional SDD solid state drive), the regular edition 500GB.

Results: The Pro, wins

Round 5 : monitor

Air 1440 * 900 resolution, LED backlight, the screen shining.

Pro uses a 1280 * 800 resolution, wider color gamut and dynamic range, the general application is not better than the Air than the Air, but the encounter colorful pictures, videos, etc., have obvious advantages.

Mainly rely on users prefer the fine resolution or color display.

Results : tie

Round 6 : Interface

The latest Air configure high-speed Thunderbolt interface, two 3.0 interface, audio interface, re-design of the MagSafe charging port, SD slot.

Pro: In addition to the above interface, Pro, FireWire 800 interface, two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and the old charging port. Traveling without the extra to buy a charging adapter.

Results : The Pro, wins

Round 7 : CD-ROM

Pro there are double-layer DVD 8x speed CD-ROM, while supporting the CD player. Air has no optical drive.

Results : The Pro, wins

Round 8 : Weighing

In basically the same premise, the notebook is naturally the lighter the better. The Air 2.96 Pro 4.5 pounds, the Air victory.

Results : the Air wins

Round 9 : battery life

Air 50Whr battery life (about 7 hours), Pro 63.5Whr battery life.

But because the Air uses ultra-low voltage processors, both in the wireless Web test can be up to 7 hours battery life, screen was semi-bright, open WiFi, search the Internet. Ordinary users to use the day is no problem.

Results: tie

Round 10 : Upgrade Space

Pro and Air in FacetTime HD camera, audio interface, backlit keyboard, touch screen on par, so we look into the hardware upgrade up.

Pro Turbo speed can be upgraded to 3.6Ghz (Air up to 3.2Ghz), memory can be increased to 8GB (Air may also increase to 8GB), you are free to choose to install the regular hard drive or Apple's own solid state drive, hard disk can be increased 1TB (Air maximum increased SDD512GB).

Air DRAM chip is directly soldered to the motherboard (Pro with the standard SO - DIMM slots); Air only supports Apple's own SDD solid state hard disk, Pro, support for solid state drive and hard; Air rely mainly on custom SDD module, Pro Support for any standard Sata drive. A few years later, you can upgrade to Pro to a better configuration, but the Air die.

Results: The Pro, wins

Finally, we conclude that the space of Pro CPU, hard disk, interface, CD-ROM, upgrade all aspects of winning, the Air has obvious advantages in terms of weight, the other four aspects of a tie, so decided to buy Which Macbook good judgment.

Just remember, based on past experience, if you do the work contains a large number of visual requirements of the Air high resolution and can not compensate for the limitations of the color saturation. So the time to buy more from their own reality, you will regret less.

First benchmarks of new models of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air

No sooner had Apple announced the updated lines of notebook MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, as the first results of testing of these computers in the benchmark Geekbench 2. This test is conducted by the publication of Primate Labs, evaluates the performance of the processor and system memory.

 

The list of models includes 15-inch MacBook Pro with the display Retina and processor Intel Ivy Bridge with a frequency of 2.3 GHz or 2.6 GHz and 15-inch MacBook Pro with the chip at 2.3 GHz and 2.7 GHz. Also tested was attended by 13-inch MacBook Air with dual-core processors at 1.8 GHz and 2 GHz and 11-inch version of the MacBook Air processor at 1.7 GHz and 2 GHz.

In the category of MacBook Pro won the model without display Retina with quad 2.7 GHz (12,303 parrots), it is almost 14% faster than the equivalent in 2011. At the same time, 15-inch MacBook Pro with the Retina screen and processor Intel Ivy Bridge with a frequency of 2.6 GHz with its 11 844 points is only slightly inferior to the leader of the ranking.

 

As for the test notebook MacBook Air, is leading a 13-inch model with a dual-core chip, Intel Ivy Bridge at 2 GHz and 11-inch version with the same CPU, scored 7007 points and 7004, respectively.

 

Of course, synthetic tests do not give a complete picture of the performance of "poppies" in the real world, moreover, Geekbench 2 practically does not evaluate such an important component, as the work of the graphics subsystem. However, given the test results quite without interest.

Windows 8 is running on a MacBook Pro with the display Retina [photo]

While most consumers expect to start deliveries laptop MacBook Pro with the display Retina , staff publication AnandTech, one of the first received the latest computer Apple, already conduct testing device. One of the first test for "poppy" with 15.4-inch screen Retina and USB 3.0 support was the launch of Berea pre-Windows operating system 8.

 

Despite the fact that the laptop graphics chip NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M does not have native support for Windows 8 and Windows 7, today, an employee portal Anendu Lalu Shimp got to run "eight" in the standard for the new MacBook Pro resolution of 2880 x 1800. According to him, the current version of Windows 7 does not support the resolution without any special drivers above 1600 x 1200, but  Windows8 Release Preview can easily cope with a maximum resolution 2880 x 1800 pixels.

 

It is noteworthy that in the screenshot from the trailer Skyfall Player plays video in full resolution Full HD - 1920 x 1080. However, because of the high-resolution LCD panel, the font system buttons and other elements of the Windows user interface 8, the display is not adapted to the Retina, are incredibly tiny. Traditional Tile Metro new “OSes” Microsoft occupy one-sixth of the screen MacBook Pro.

 

Announcing the new product at WWDC 2012, Apple's vice president of marketing Phil Schiller called it "the most beautiful computer that we've ever done." And, apparently, the company will not stop the 15-inch. According to rumors, Apple in the fall will present a 13-inch version of the MacBook Pro with the display Retina, and next year will be Extra-screen and other "Poppies" - ultra-thin MacBook Air notebook and desktop iMac.

Apple has launched a new advertising MacBook Pro with the display Retina [Video]

Apple introduced the first video of the new MacBook Pro with the display Retina, created by Media Arts Lab TBWA. Video does not force the audience to tremble and sparkling creativity strikes: As is the case with most media advertising Cupertino within 30 seconds we see a product from different angles.

Recall that Apple has presented a new MacBook Pro earlier this week. During WWDC 2012 the company introduced a notebook with an ultra super productive aluminum body (1.8 cm) display with a record high for this class of machine-resolution 2880 × 1800 and a viewing angle of 178 degrees. The device is equipped with top-end quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with a clock frequency of up to 2.7 GHz and discrete graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M.

Impressed by the advertising itself is not even a laptop, as the fact of its occurrence. The last time Apple launches TV promo-campaign for the Mac after the MacBook Air in 2010. Forward to capture new markets!

WWDC 2012: Apple maintained silence about what

Apple MacBook Pro will delay the delivery of Retina display for a month

Announcing at the Worldwide Developers Conference Notebooks MacBook Pro with Retina display , Apple has announced that shipments of devices will start June 11But the next day announced that the deadline for delivery of laptops to the U.S. will be 2-3 weeks, and June 13 - and at a month. It is obvious that the remaining regions supply also shifted. This situation may indicate that the new machines were quickly sold out, or Apple is having trouble producing.

The main advantage is the MacBook Pro 15.4-inch display with a resolution of Retina 2880h1800 and density of pixels 220 pixels per inch, 4-core processors Ivy Bridge at up to 2.7 GHz and the SSD-drives with capacity up to 768 GB. The advantages of the next generation can also be considered for new ports (USB 3.0, and MagSafe 2) and asymmetric fan blades, which provides a minimum level of noise.

During the presentation, MacBook Pro head of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller said that the computers - "the best of all the poppies created by Apple». Many users are actively discussing the existence of super fine display Retina, as well as new laptop casing thickness of 2 centimeters.

ISI Group analyst Brian Marshall believes that, with equal probability we can talk about the large volume of orders for new models and a shortage of components, in particular the same Retina-displays, the problems with the availability of which said first Asian collectors. The expert notes that the hardware specifications ultrabook and MacBook Pro are roughly comparable, but the quality of the display - no it could be one of the key advantages of "apple" products.

The official Apple press office has not commented on the delay in deliveries MacBook Pro.

Still the MacBook Pro with Retinal Display has been exposed from iFixit

The same fate of the MacBook Air 2012 , involved the unreleased MacBook Pro Retina Display that you are "undressed" before the tools iFixit shows us, again, their internal structure, piece by piece. Screw after screw, component after component, the case of the new ultra portable Apple ultra resolution emptied completely and showed all the engineering behind such a product.

 

A structure that suggests the difficulty and quality design that will certainly affect the price of this notebook and it opens the eyes of those who think only a straightforward assessment of the hardware components without calculating the studio that is behind it.

 

Reminding you that you can find all the images on the official site iFixit , we analyze what are the most important components of this product. The main plate, with a very particular form, shows in red the CPU, the Nvidia video card in orange and green in the Rams ( of course the colors were added using photo editing software ).

At a glance you can see that, as happens in the MacBook Air, it's all soldered directly onto the motherboard, including the ram and flash drive, precluding any kind of intervention by non-experts. This structure does not allow it to upgrade the ram, nor that the SSD, you should therefore think carefully before purchasing a product like this.

 

Such a structure, more than desired is due, the minimum thickness of the product could not otherwise allow. But such a solution has also advantages that translate into higher performance thanks to direct contact of the main components with the motherboard.

Noteworthy too is the dissipation system that will play an important and difficult in this new MacBook Pro with Retinal Display. All this, as clear from the upper floors of Cupertino, has been designed and built by the same, without the cooperation of outside producers.

MacBook Pro with Retinal Display start online shipping

Although Apple has already prepared a television commercial to promote his new product introduced at WWDC on Monday - the new MacBook Pro with Retinal Display -  not too encouraging news coming for those who had decided to immediately buy up the new jewel of Cupertino : the times estimated from the online store for deliveries grew up to three or four weeks.

 

We have already shown the new commercials that Apple haslaunched its new product which emphasizes all the wonders of the new very high resolution display. This means that Apple is focusing, immediately, on his new gem and will make it available as soon as possible.

Nevertheless, sales of the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display could start with a certain slowness, since estimates for shipments of the product through the online store have reached the three, four weeks , after two, three weeks estimated a few days ago.

As for the other model MacBook Pro, also renewed, there should be no supply problems , so that the online store considers them already available for shipment.

Apple publishes the first spot on the new MacBook Pro with Retinal Display

Among the products that have done more "noise" at the recent WWDC keynote of the 2012 are definitely the unreleased MacBook Pro Retina display that combines beauty, light weight, small size, power, expandability, and a high resolution display (equal to 2880 × 1800 pixels) in a single product.

Made available for sale less than two days ago we have already seen how it can be found with a 3% discount to the price list and this can only benefit sales of the product. As with any great product, the Cupertino company, has decided to make a television commercial to advertise it as usual: very elegantly, with a pleasant and relaxing background music, in a film where all attention is focused on product and especially on the display and on the reduced thickness.

The first part of the video, in fact, tends to emphasize the display as well as the internal power of the hardware can perform anything in a fast and immediate, while in the final part is shown the product to the side to show the size. This commercial is simple, elegant, good looking, as only Apple can do it.

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.

The lights went out, and instead of the traditional appearance on the stage the head of the company appeared on the screen an intelligent assistant Siri.

When Cook arrived on the scene, the audience was already warmed up. But the general lingered on the scene a short time - a couple of minutes showed a video in which the company paid tribute to the application developers around the world.

Then executives Apple, replacing each other on stage, talked about pricing MacBook Air and MacBookPro, the benefits of Retina Display in a notebook, features OS X Mountain Lion, and the incredible number of new features in iOS 6, and even showed a racing game.

In conclusion, the scene reappeared Tim Cook, smiling broadly. He spoke with more passion than the previous two events, where he also served as CEO Apple - Presentation of the new iPhone 4S and the iPad.
