By Michael Rose For pro photographers who care about color fidelity on a laptop screen, there's good news from Rob Galbraith on the revamped MacBook Pro line: the new laptops offer improved color performance, which Rob's review describes as "better colour accuracy than any Apple laptop we've profile...

By Casey Johnston If the two companies cannot reach an agreement, NVIDIA would continue to provide chips for models that currently use NVIDIA, but Apple would be likely to drop NVIDIA chipsets in updates to their product line, particularly in iMacs and MacBooks currently based on Intel's Nehalem archit...

By John Herrman Early production units being built in plastic, with the bottom case being plastic, are cracking...So, to get that really thin form factor that they're after, they're probably going to have to go with a metal case. The obvious issue here is that they can't go with a metal case, or else they'll al...

By Devin Coldewey If you're a control freak with your computers (like yours truly), you like to have lots of settings at your fingertips. For fan speed, I actually only tweak my MacBook Pro's, using SMCFanControl, since the sucker gets hot at default settings. But if you're concerned about the heat in your ga...

By Nicholas Deleon It gets better! Nvidia is selling all these plugins at 50 percent off if you buy from their own Web site. Again, you’ll need a heavy duty GPU to partake, a one of those Quadro babies, to play along. Sadly, my poor pre-unibody MacBook will still be rendering video the old fashioned way.

By John Herrman Sluggishness was a consistent gripe with two prior versions of the MacBook Air, especially compared to the rest of the MacBook line. The latest version has speedier processor options, but according to recent benchmarks, might have gotten slower. Huh?

By ken_mingis@computerworld.com (Ken Mingis) Apple's new mid-size 15-in. MacBook Pro gets an evolutionary upgrade and something that, from Apple, is revolutionary -- a price cut. Here's how the $2,299 model stacks up.

By Jason Chen Unlike the Powergorilla, the HyperMac actually is capable of charging the Pro (there's a MacBook Air style charger as well). That means you can use this as a portable charging station as well as a constantly-tethered power supply. But you pay for that in terms of lugging around a heavy ass bl...

by Brooke Crothers The Apple MacBook Air has remained almost unchanged for a year and a half--a testament to the staying power of its design. So, how will Apple respond to the wave of inexpensive, ultra-thin lookalikes hitting the market over the next ...

By Mark Wilson It's impossible not to be at least a little impressed with the MacBook Air, but who can spend $2,000 on that laptop? The solution? The MSI X340, a $900 MacBook Air. And it's a great idea...in theory... Extremely light and thin form Runs Vista adequately Short battery life

By Om Malik For now, the little device has helped me overcome the space limitations of my MacBook Air. If you own a MacBook Air, just like the Apple Display, Pogoplug is a must-have add-on. And even if you don’t own a MacBook Air, you still should buy one. Pogoplug is perhaps the most useful little gizmo you...

Apple, on the other hand, not only hasn't updated the JRE in even its latest security update or in the Safari patch it pushed to my MacBook this morning, it hasn't warned its userbase that there's any problem whatsoever -- and hasn't suggested that, ...

By Doug Aamoth The design is very pleasing. It’s slightly thicker, yet slightly lighter than the MacBook Air. The thickness reaches a maximum of 0.78 inches (versus the Air’s 0.76 inches) while allowing for VGA, Ethernet, and HDMI ports, two USB ports, a card reader, and mic and headphone jacks. The actual b...

By Nicholas Deleon Whoa, now here’s a patent that’s actually worth discussing. (The majority of patents are boring, that’s the implication.) Apple filed a patent last September (but just now made public) that would turn give your iPhone or MacBook the ability to determine your identity, thereby increasin...

By Nicholas Deleon So Apple just released a firmware update for the new 17-inch MacBook Pro that supposedly fixes that nasty screen tearing issue we discussed. As with all firmware updates, you’re asked to pray to your god of choice in order to ensure that the update goes smoothly.

By Wilson Rothman The good news is, the new Mac Mini is a worthy little beast. In spite of its seemingly wimpy 2.0GHz dual-core processor, it keeps up with most of the basic stuff you can throw at it. The internal redesign of the Mac Mini is really about coupling that Core 2 Duo with Nvidia integrated graphics, and...

Apple has released software updates for Aperture 2, iPhoto '08 and iPhoto '09, along with a firmware update that is designed to extend the battery life of MacBooks. Owners of Nikon D3X and Epson R-D1x digital cameras will now be able to upload RAW-format images to Apple's photo software. Th...

Abandoning the AirPort Express for the time being, I turned to another device that could stream audio: my Apple TV. I still haven't purchased a high-definition television, so the Apple TV was connected to an LCD display upstairs in my office (see "DRM Foils iTunes Rentals for Some Apple TV...

By edit@zdnet.com.au (Alex Serpo) One thing which is not tacky is the 12.1-inch matte display. Crisp (60Hz), bright (200-nit) and at a native resolution of 1,280x800 (WXGA), it's a high resolution for its size. On top of the display is the obligatory webcam. Our system came equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 at 1.4GHz and 2G...

By matt buchanan Strictly speaking, the best value right now are the last-gen MacBook Pros—they're so cheap they essentially negate the Apple tax, and destroy the new ones in performance-to-dollar ratio. The older, discounted black MacBook is also a decent alternative to the new "cheap" MacBook model.

By matt buchanan In the case of Macs vs PCs, you could argue that customer support, the Leopard OS and design elements such as the new unibody construction and glass trackpads are what make up the Apple Tax. The only problem with this logic is that, among Apple computers, the tax can swing wildly.

By Michael Rose For machines that have only been in users' hands for 24 hours or so, the hits just keep on coming for the new unibody MacBooks. APC magazine has posted a "ten things you didn't know" review, covering some surprises and some well-we-thought-so's for the laptops.
