Apple is known for its attention to detail, and that focus on the little things is probably why it sells its MacBooks with power bricks that have flick-out wings for wrapping the cord around. It's not a big thing, but it's just enough to make lugging a notebook computer around just that little bit easier.
It's an interesting insight into Apple's current situation that everyone tends to forget all about its popular MacBook lines. While the iPhone and iPad are seen as Apple's biggest prospects, and as such can often be neglected by those of us writing about the company, it's worth noting that it is still very much invested in the notebook market, making arguably some of the best machines in the business.
My MacBook Pro has about ten hours of battery life before it dies off. As soon as the battery indicator turns red, I rush looking for an outlet and plug it in. Sometimes I’m away from home, on on the road or on an airplane, making it impossible to charge it. If Apple has their way, that may no longer be a problem.
When Apple released the super slim line MacBook Air back in 2010, it was initially planned to be a three-pronged attack on the market, with an 11", 13" and 15" model of the company's thinnest notebook to date.
There can be little argument that Apple's MacBook Air line of ultra-thin, ultra-portable notebooks has been a success. Despite initial skepticism when the first 13" model launched with slow hardware and super small hard disks, the last two iterations have offered a much more robust machine.
Many people associate China with fake products that are easy to come by, but they lack a lot of tech support since they're not made by credible companies. Yet, it now seems that an official Apple Store in China has serviced a fake MacBook Air, as in: not made by Apple.
Apple has updated the MacBook Air family of ultraportable laptops. The third upgrade brings three big updates: updated processors, backlit keyboards, OS X Lion and next-generation I/O technology Thunderbolt.
UK-based web developer and hacker Liam Mcloughlin aka Hexxeh has managed to get Chromium OS working on MacBook Air. He’s made it available to everyone who’s willing to give it a spin and we’re prepared a guide for you to help you do it!
In case you haven't heard the reports, it's pretty clear that a next-generation MacBook Air is due for release in about a month. Now, a new report has surfaced claiming that the new Air will come with a new black version.
If a new report from AppleInsider is to be believed, Apple is done planning the next-generation MacBook Air and is sitting on it until Lion, the next version of Mac OS X, is released. If you're planning to get this laptop, you should put it off for one more month.
