March 14, 2015

Filed under: New Products — Steve Rea @ 11:14 am

On Monday, Apple revealed a new 12-inch MacBook, a radical revamp that shakes up the winning MBA design by dumping virtually every conventional port—Thunderbolt, the SD card slot, a power connector, everything—in favor of a pair a single USB Type-C connection and an audio jack. That, paired with numerous other advances, helped the 12-inch MacBook become the slimmest, lightest MacBook ever—and its silent, too.

Filed under: Book Reviews — Steve Rea @ 8:23 pm

Everything you need to know from Apple’s iPad and Mac October event | iMore

October 18, 2014

Filed under: New Products — Steve Rea @ 11:31 am

The biggest takeaway from today’s event is the announcement of the iPad Air 2. It shaves down the profile to 6.1 mm (for reference, the existing iPad Air is 7.5 mm thick). There’s a new 8 megapixel camera inside that’s similar to what we’re seeing in the iPhone 6 Plus and a dedicated A8X image signal processor to handle timelapse and slow-mo shots. The front-facing camera has had some great improvements, and lets in 81% more light thanks to a larger aperture. There’s also burst-mode selfies to shoot.
