Apple’s New Macbook Pro’s
Posted in: General at Apr 15th, 2010
Yes, they are finally here. The new Macbook Pro’s featuring the i5 and i7 processors. When the first people started walking into the store I always told them the Macbooks wouldn’t have an i5 or i7, simply because it would probably get too hot. It seems I was wrong. Most likely because I haven’t been really very active in the hardware world lately. I used to tweak my windows machine quite a lot, until I bought a Mac and never looked back at it. It’s actually quite a good machine, but it’s too “old” to sell for a decent price, probably turn it into a home server or something.
Back on topic. I think Apple did a pretty good job at integrating the i5s and i7s into their new laptops. Plus, the batteries last for a stunning 10 hours (on the 13 inch that is). Other than that I don’t really consider them to be that much better than the “old” series. Some of the features, such as audio support for the Mini Display ports, should’ve been included in the previous generation.
Now we just need to wait for the iPhone HD, iPhone 4G or whatever the damn machine is supposed to be called. Perhaps they’ll even call it the iPad Mini Deluxe XL. Perhaps even the iPhone Lisa, who knows.
