Apple Updates Macbook & Macbook Pro

Posted on 15 October 2008 by DT

Apple yesterday announced updated Macbooks and Macbook Pros. Both laptops are available for order from the web as well as Apple stores. Both laptops now have glass displays, which from some of the graphic designers that I’ve talked to seem to be disappointed. The Macbook underwent a huge change by changing it’s body from the durable polycarbonate to an aluminum body, something a lot of people have been waiting for, including myself. Unfortunately though the Macbook has dropped the firewire plug-ins for whatever reason, otherwise I would’ve honestly sold my current Macbook Pro and bought the smaller Macbook. The wait continues. See below for full specs:

Macbook (Starting at $1299.00)

  • 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display
  • NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory

iShow by Moti Barzilay

Posted on 10 September 2008 by Van

Following in Apple’s sense of compact and streamlined designs, Moti Barzilay came up with a concept for a portable projector.  As you can see in the above picture, the iShow is extremely portable and fail proof.  From the looks of things, operation is as simple as pulling both discs to reveal the projector, plugging in the appropriate cables and turning on the device.  Not much else was revealed about this gadget.  However, I’d be up to see a demo at JR.com or some local retailer in the near future.
