Most of us MacBook or MacBook Pro owners are so in love with Apple’s products that we simply cannot resist getting the iPhone. With the love that we have for our MacBooks, we would gladly overlook the small inconveniences such as a 10-key pad. No longer do we have to go without thanks to the guys over at Balmuda design ... continued »

With every iPhone update that Apple releases they try to find ways to crush advancements that the iPhone Dev Team are making. We expect firmware 2.2 will have a few different tweaks to prevent jailbreaking, what we didn’t expect was that the new MacBooks would be the next wave of defense. People over at Howard Forums are complaining that they are ... continued »

Those people who couldn't wait for Apple to release an official Mac Tablet, and who instead pre-ordered Axiotron's Modbook alternative, will be getting a New Year treat as the company announces the pen-based OS X portable is finally shipping.  We first wrote about the Modbook - basically an Apple MacBook Pro rebuilt with a Wacom touchscreen digitizer to make a tablet - ... continued »

As far as I'm aware, our boy Vincent has never been described as psychic but with his trials of a 64GB Samsung SSD NAND drive in a MacBook Pro over at SlashGear it could be that he's pre-empted Apple's latest laptop move.  AppleInsider quote analyst Gene Munster who has highlighted the solid-state drive as a likely candidate for inclusion in ... continued »

Like vanilla-flavored cheese I'm just plain stupid when it comes to programming, which is why I'm so impressed by TUAW's Erica Sadun.  She's come up with a really useful application designed to make file swapping and archiving simple; it sits on your Mac desktop and then grabs a copy of image files you send from your iPhone.   continued »

Attempts to change the venerable keyboard are usually met with failure - despite promising claims of productivity benefits, there's often too great a pay-off for users used to the traditional QWERTY 'board - but if anyone can encourage us to upgrade, perhaps it's Apple.  Their latest patent describes a MultiTouch surface particularly suitable for a MacBook (or a Mac Tablet, maybe?) ... continued »

If there's a phrase that'll put the fear of God into any mobile user, it's "critical manufacturing flaw", but that's just what data recovery firm Retrodata has accused Apple of experiencing in some of their machines, particularly MacBook and MacBook Pro models, but also potentially Mac mini deskop units.  Retrodata chief Duncan Clarke has gone public with his concerns that the 2.5-inch ... continued »

Thinking about getting a MacBook? I’d recommend waiting if any part of this is true. Apparently Apple is looking to update the MacBook lineup along side the release of Leopard. They aren’t sure if the update will bring Santa Rosa to the MacBook line or if it will just be some slightly faster speeds. continued »

The time is finally upon us, there is a new Apple.com page that states quite clearly that OSX Leopard is coming this month. No word on when though. If tradition is any hint Apple has tended to do some sort of PC hardware update in the fall, this time it should also yield a new version of the OS too. Who ... continued »

Another quarter, another record Apple profit - but will everyone be pleased?  The Cupertino company have announced an $818 million profit in its fiscal third-quarter, with $5.41 billion in sales from April through June (a rise of 24-percent from the same period last year); sales of Macs and iPods are sky-high, shipping over 1.7 million of the former (up 33-percent) ... continued »

Wouldn't it be nice to be responsible for "redefining the standards of ultra-portable computing"?  Well, MacScoop are reporting - thanks to these omni-present "trusted sources" we hear so much about - that Apple are moving toward announcing an incredibly light, thin laptop with a 12-inch screen that will round out the MacBook Pro range.  And we really are talking thin ... continued »
