MacBook

By Kevin C. Tofel I tested Apple’s Magic Mouse with Windows 7 not long after I bought the device a few weeks ago. It paired through Bluetooth with no issues as expected, and works well, but lost was the scrolling I enjoy with a finger flick on my MacBook. Obviously, it’s a driver issue and I never thought twice [...]

Shenzen seems to have carved a reputation for coming up with clone hardware, and their latest line of Macbook Air clones will come with a removable battery, a SIM card slot and a memory card reader, making it sound much more delectable than the original. Too bad the innards are netbook-clas...

The VESA group today officially released Mini DisplayPort as a finalized standard. Known for short as mDP, the Apple-developed connector can now be used by other companies to attach displays with the expectation that they will meet all the DisplayPort 1.1a specs. It's expected that mDP wi...

By Michael Rose In operation, there's not much to worry about: I plugged in all three ports to a unibody MacBook Pro and connected an HDMI display, then went to the normal Mac OS X Displays preference pane, where I found a full assortment of resolutions for my enjoyment. The top few 'television' options may...

By Matt Burns So basically what this thing does is power and charge a MacBook and iPhone (or any USB device) simultaneously. The battery pack even runs at both 16.5V and 18.5V like the OEM Apple chargers, which means the battery shouldn’t be put under any unnecessary strain.

By Jennifer Bergen We recently got our hands on the new MacBook (on the left, next to the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch), and our laptop analyst Cisco Cheng took a few photos of the unboxing. According to Cheng, "the rejuvenated Apple MacBook (Unibody) has had a major overhaul, as it now comes with Unibody enclosu...

By Jason Chen Benchmarks and Battery Life Comparing the 13-inch aluminum unibody MacBook of 2008 to the 13-inch aluminum unibody MacBook Pro to the 13-inch MacBook now shows that there really isn't a big difference between the three models. The small discrepancies fall inside the margin of error, an...

By John Herrman The new MacBook features a unibody, polycarbonate enclosure that makes it lighter and more durable. The new design includes a unique non-skid bottom surface and at just 4.7 pounds, the sleek MacBook slides easily into a backpack or briefcase. MacBook comes standard with a bright, LED-bac...

By Joanna Stern Internal Power The HP Envy 13's 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (along with 3GB of RAM) doesn't quite have as much as power as the MacBook Pro's 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, but it still keeps up with everyday tasks. When running Firefox with over 10 tabs open, iTunes and TweetDeck the system sho...

By (Tom Yager) When I reviewed Apple's prior "unibody" 15-inch MacBook Pro, I gave it high marks. Now Apple is building on that peerless platform with higher performance, an upgraded display, longer battery life and a lower price.

By Nilay Patel Let's be straight here: we're a little perplexed by the new MacBook Pro line. On one hand, Apple didn't really make enough changes to warrant a whole new review of the unibody lineup, and minor speed bumps aside, briefly using one of the new machines feels pretty much like using most any rece...

By Jason Chen Apple did two things simultaneously that are usually contradictory; they lowered the price of their entire MacBook Pro line while at the same time bumping up the specs. The 15-inch version now starts at $1699 and caps out at $2299, down from $1999 and $2499. What's even nicer is that the 13-i...

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...

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 quietly issued a firmware fix for glitches that are in the notebooks it released in October, the MacBook Pro, MacBook, and MacBook Air. In typically tight-lipped fashion, the company will only say the fix will "improve the stability" of the computers, which have reported probl...
