Remember T-1000 Skynet robot which was made from Liquid Metal in Terminator 2? Well it looks like Steve Jobs and Co are in full mood to build their next-gen hardware using Liquidmetal Technologies, a California based company from which they recently acquired exclusive rights to build products made of Liquid Metal alloy.
The leaked MacBook from Vietnam which we recently saw has now been made official by Apple. This unibody plastic MacBook now comes with a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics and a whooping 10-hours of battery life.
I just stumbled upon these images of what look like the back-casing of the 4th generation iPhone and thought I should share it with you all. The text on the all aluminum unibody back reads the traditional line: “Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China”.
Folks over at Engadget have got hold of the newly released 15’’ MacBook Pro which is powered by Intel Core i7 processor. Surprisingly enough, these new MacBook Pro’s includes new trackpads which enables inertial scrolling like the one found in iPhone OS.
Since the introduction of iPhone (EDGE) in 2007, Apple remained the unipolar champion of the smartphone world. But its unchallenged supremacy has now been challenged by other stalwarts like Google’s Android, and the upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series by Microsoft. It will be obligatory for Apple to bring some innovative changes to the device and it just cannot afford the luxury of cooling its heels. In the meanwhile, Android continues to gather momentum, and whereas it lacks iPhone's content and elegance, yet it has started matching Apple in terms of features.
It is for quite sometime now that Apple fans have been waiting for refreshed line of MacBook Pro’s with the new Intel Core i5/i7 chips. The current-gen of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air are due for an update, and numerous hints and rumors over the past few months have put many Apple fans on waiting anxiously for the updated models to appear in the market. The wait still continues without any major hint or even an indication as to when or if these new models are going to arrive.
We informed you all yesterday about a Core i7 MacBook Pro, which was recently spotted in a Geekbench benchmark report. And now it seems like Apple may be set to launch one of these as early as Tomorrow. According to a French site named Nowhere Else, Apple will refresh its MacBook Pro lineup tomorrow just in time for the start of Macworld Expo.
The current generation of MacBook Pro’s are powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors. At CES 2010 last month, Intel officially unveiled Core i5 and Core i7 processors for the first time for portable computers. Apple’s MacBook Pro line is due for an upgrade this year and it would only be wise for Apple to ship these with Core i5/i7 processors as they are now the flagship chipsets of Intel.
The thinnest notebook in Apple’s MacBook line is Air which hasn't seen an upgrade since last June. This however may change soon but not before the similar upgrades for MacBook and MacBook Pro. A French site named HardMac speculates that due to non-availability of the new low-draw Intel Core i5 chips, MacBook Air with Core i5 may not ship at the same time as MacBook Pros.
Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer visited Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville the other day where a student asked him to sign his MacBook Pro. Ballmer, in his usual way signed the Mac right on the Apple logo with words which read "Need a new one? - Steve Ballmer”.
