Apple 24-inch iMac

From a cost vs performance perspective, RAM is usually our favorite Mac upgrade. So we’re stoked that the new 3.06GHz iMac can handle up to 8GB, compared to just 4GB last time around. But be warned, taking advantage of that capacity is going to require some deep pockets–for now at least.

It’s the same pretty face, [...]

Apple officially endorses 8GB of RAM for some 15 inch Unibody MacBooks

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 [...]

Two possible dates for Apple’s WWDC 2009 emerge

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.

Snow Leopard goes 64 Bit, to be released on June 8th with Stevo?

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 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 [...]

The Apple Tax has a lot more punch in Canada – Why do we pay so much?

At 9 to 5 Mac Canada we have to admit we’re still a little giddy about the whole release yesterday.  New hardware makes us… well lets just say overly excited.  So now we’re coming down from the high (Canadian Beer is a lot stonger the American stuff) – and although we’re excited about the tech [...]

March 24 Apple Event – Now What? Site Down!?

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 [...]
