Today, (Tuesday, February 26, 2008) Apple released new Macbooks and Macbook Pros. Well, I guess they did not come out with NEW Macbooks, but they upgraded the tech specs on both. For example, both systems have the newer 45nm Penryn Processor in them, which, when compared on paper is not that big of a difference, but when you look at the benchmarks, it makes a pretty big difference. You can now get the newer display in the 17 inch Macbook Pro, instead of just the 15 inch. I'm not quite sure why anyone would want a 17 inch notebook, but, I guess whatever floats your boat. Both lines of notebooks also received a upgrade in storage space. You can now get up to a 300GB hard drive in the Macbook Pro, but it is excruciatingly slow at 4200RPM. I'm not quite sure why Apple can't offer a faster drive at a higher capacity. That was about it when it came to updating the new systems, other than the fact that the Macbook Pros now have the Multi-Touch technology, just like in the Macbook Air. I don't believe that the trackpad is any bigger, as it was already huge to begin with. Not much other than that was upgraded, as I don't think that Apple released any software updates to their systems. Check the YouTube channel tomorrow for a video on the new Macbook and Macbook Pro. I will probably record the show on Ustream, so check there if you would like to watch me record and edit the show. Just go to the Ustream website and search for (without the quotes) "iAlex @ Work".
