The New Macbooks are in town
Apple are currently in the process of unvailing their new Macbook product range. With it it brings cheaper Macbooks, 1 less Macbook Pro and an updated Macbook Air.
Before this event there was big talk of the new redesign of the Macbook Pro; within the past day leaked images of a possible Macbook Pro hit the internet. Apple has now confirmed these blury images are true! Meet the new Macbook Pro!
As you can see the new MBP comes with a gloss finish and the black finish around the screen and the Macbook Air's black keyboard. This new keyboard design is down to the new production techniques for the Macbook's where the casing is made from one solid piece of alluminium and pieces are taken away rather than how previously done through adding certain elements to a core structure. This has resulted in a much more rigid frame and should result in fewer breakages due to weak points in the case. This has been a common problem with current MBP's.
Another new feature with the MPB is the glass trackpad. The trackpad will be 36% bigger than the current MBP's and is without the "click button". This is because Apple has decided to reinvent the trackpad making it all the button as well as includng 4 new multi-touch features for application browsing and picture viewing.
Specs and Pricing
Apple is putting 2 GPU's into the new MBP's, the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and the 9400M GT; you will easily be able to switch to the 9400M GT if you want "turbo mode". With the 9400M GPU you get 5 hours of battery life vs. 4 hours on the 9600 GT.
