Spotlight on Apple notebooks
I was crossing my fingers, hoping for new MacBooks to be announced. And it seems that my wish has come thru. Apple Announces October 14 Notebook Event.
Gadget geeks all over the world are participating in a frantic wildest-guesses competition, but so far it looks like a 13″ Aluminum MacBook of some sort is part of the announcement. And also reduced prices thruout the range. Whee.
Silver Pup replacement
While I am thrilled with the stability of my “old” 12″ PowerBook G4 (aka. Silver Pup), it IS getting kinda slow. Also, it seems that Intel binaries are the future. I can’t even run the iPhone SDK on the PPC.
Good news every one! It seems that Apple is getting ready for a refresh of the MacBook line. I realise that getting a “just-after-lauch” version of a Cupertino product, may shatter my experience of reliability and stability – but I’m getting desperate.
Maybe a 13″ MacBook Pro will soothe my aches. (Crosses fingers)
Apple TV
Got me an Apple TV
Apple TV
Plus side:
- Hot (as in form-factor)
- Really nice Front Row GUI
- Most convenient way to show those vacation photos to your friends
- Go to the States and get ~50% off (compared to DK Apple stores)
Negative:
- Hot (as in temperature)
- Availability of TV Shows, Movies, Music Videos, etc. in Denmark
- Tweak-ability limited
Verdict: In gadget terms, it’s old – but I still like it.
Update: It’s update time. Any maybe it’s worth checking out Boxee
