The Apple Mac Book Pro, is a nice and neat range of laptops which are about to get even larger with the introduction of a seventeen inch display version, this could be announced as early as next week at the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco. Similar to the thirteen and fifteen inch display model, the new seventeen versions is likely to have the same unibody construction and will sport a nice and neat internal battery set up. The new addition could mean that the smaller thirteen inch version may be phased out.

The Apple Mini Mac

The Macworld Expo, which opens in January, is expected to see the launch of the Apple mini Mac, something that we have been waiting to see for the long time.

Steve Jobs has already gone on record as saying they don’t know how to make a $500 laptop!

Well, MacWorld got around to wondering the same things and they posted a large article about how the Asus Eee PC holds up against a MacBook. Here’s some of the highlights: Size: My first impression—and one that’s endured—is that the 1000HA is small. Smaller, in fact, than any laptop I’ve ever owned. So it was complete culture shock to suddenly find myself with a laptop computer with a downsized keyboard (Asus claims it’s about 92 percent the size of a “full” laptop keyboard, but it definitely is markedly smaller than what I’m used to) and overall dimensions so small that I have trouble balancing it on my lap without having it fall through my legs. The keyboard does have nubs on the home row keys, which makes touch-typing possible. The unusual and somewhat cramped keyboard layout (cursor keys jammed into an area to the left of the right shift key) took me about a day to get used to. No OSX: The operating system running on the Eee PC is likely to be the biggest Achilles’ … Continue reading →
