What a difference six months makes. Back in January, we wrote about the suitability of the screens in several notebooks for editing photos in the field. At that time, Apple’s MacBook Pro 15 inch was pegged as being acceptable for this purpose, but barely: hue accuracy trailed the other portables we looked at, while the [...]
QuickerTek has announced an updated external battery/charger unit, designed for the 17-inch MacBook Pro. The 3lb. device can extend the notebook’s battery life by as much as 18 hours, and can also charge a Pro while it is still in use. The charger is designed to provide 1,000 full cycles, and takes approximately 12 hours [...]
AI found Apple unceremoniously selling 8GB kits for its newer model 15-inch Unibody MacBook Pros (not the older 2.5GHz model). It is the same kit as they sell for the 17-inch unibody Macbooks and it is the same price. $1200. If you have to ask…
Not to worry though, hardcore RAM fiends, OWC has the same [...]
Event bookings for the San Francisco Moscone Center indicate that Apple may be planning its annual Worldwide Developer Conference in either mid-May or early June.
Companies book the Moscone Center venue many months in advance, with Sun’s Java One, Cisco Live!, Linux World, Oracle OpenWorld, and other events already planned for just about every free week [...]
digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/apple/MacBook_Pro_17_Inch_Unibody_Review’; There’s not much that can be said about the 17-inch version of the MacBook Pro that hasn’t already been said about the 15-incher (and to some extent, the MacBook). Still, the big, big brother of the family has a few key differences that make it stand out from the rest of the [...]
World of Apple is publishing (naughty, naughty) Apple’s Snow Leopard release notes, below, which include a new Quicktime Player UI, a new Cocoa Desktop, Info Window and Contextual Menus and of course the new Safari 4 Web Browser. All good news, but there seem to be some big hurdles to overcome by June..June you say?

Although it’s not the first 512GB 2.5-inch SSD we’ve heard of, A-DATA’s latest solid state drive is still in a rare class. We stopped by its booth today to see if the unit was on hand for CeBIT, and sure enough, there she was. We took a few shots and put ‘em down below — [...]
Although Apple is touting the performance of its new iMac and Mac mini desktops, a new test shows that newer processors from Intel have had little impact on the computers’ true speed.
Benchmarks run by Primate Labs through its own Geekbench test suite have confirmed that any benefit from the updated Core 2 Duo processors comes [...]
Other World Computing has released two new memory upgrades for Apple’s 17-inch unibody MacBook Pro, the 8GB DDR3 Memory Upgrade Kit and the 4GB DDR3 Memory Upgrade Kit. Said to be offered at a cost lower than factory-installed upgrades, the 8GB kit consists of two matched 4GB memory modules; the 4GB option consists of a [...]
The internets spilled forth a juicy rumor this week that Apple was planning on having an event on March 24. With the Mac releases yesterday, we’re pretty sure if the event happens, it won’t be about them. So what will the rumored event bring us? Let the speculation commence!
I love an Apple event as much [...]
