3.06GHz iMac gets Intel one-off CPU rather than early Montevina

, Apr 28th 2008 Discuss [0]

Apple's refresh of the iMac line today no doubt left some rival manufacturers scratching their heads over how Steve Jobs and Co. got early access to the X9100 3.06GHz Centrino 2 chipset.  Not scheduled to be launched until June, the CPU - aka Montevina - will have a 1,066MHz front-side bus, compared to Santa Rosa's 800Hz.  Turns out, the answer is that Apple didn't get priority access; instead, Intel have tweaked an existing-generation CPU especially for the iMac.

SlashGear Week in Review

, Apr 27th 2008 Discuss [1]

It’s been a week of ultraportables, frankly, with enough budget laptops vying for the Eee’s crown to make the whole market more than a little confusing.  Medion announced their Akoya E1210 while 3K unveiled their own alternative; meanwhile, MSI finally released some decent photos of the Wind.  Thankfully there’s now a comprehensive list of all the options available, meaning attention has turned from cataloguing to pondering whether Palm will join the fray with a re-worked version of the Foleo companion.  Stranger things (like the first Foleo, you could say) have happened.

Speck’s colored shells for the iMac

, Mar 19th 2008 Discuss [0]

I am currently in possession of a slightly temperamental MacBook, so I have spent a little bit of time in my local Apple Store getting it fixed. After the new design for the monitors came out I have to admit, I hated them, now of course they have grown on me and my Acer monitors don't seem nearly as cool as they did when I bought them. Which means I can completely understand someone wanting to add a bit of color to them, after all that sleek look isn't for everyone. Read The Full Story

iMacs getting processor upgrade too?

, Feb 25th 2008 Discuss [0]

So we all know that Apple hasn’t updated their precious MacBook Pro line in quite sometime, nor have they updated their MacBooks any time recently, so updates for both are likely on their way. The catch is, whatever processor/graphics/FSB the MacBook Pros are using/have usually gets passed on to the iMacs. Read The Full Story

Apple’s iMac fix didn’t exactly fix it

, Nov 4th 2007 Discuss [2]

In fact it fixed it the same way the T-Virus fixes death, it made it worse. That’s only in some cases, in some cases it actually did fix the problem, but it seems that in a large majority of the cases, it did nothing. So I would assume that if it fixed the issue for some, made it worse for others, and did nothing for most, then it probably is a software/firmware issue, and not a hardware issue, but I’ll be honest I don’t know dick about Macs other than that I want one. No one else is entirely certain whether it’s a hardware or software issue, and most don’t care, they just want it fixed. Read The Full Story

Apple fixes iMacs

, Nov 2nd 2007 Discuss [1]

So a while ago we reported that several iMacs were crashing which caused work to be lost and required the users to restart their machines. The problem was later pinned down to being a driver issue with their ATI graphics card drivers. Well they have finally gotten around to fixing the issue. There is now an update available that should fix the drivers. Read The Full Story

Intel X3100 Chipset support found in Leopard install

, Oct 29th 2007 Discuss [0]

Support for Intel’s X3100 mobile graphics chipset could mean that Apple has plans for a quick and dirty MacBook hardware refresh. Apple has generally stuck with ATI or NVIDIA graphics for their Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, and iMac line-ups, and the X3100 is a mobile graphics solution, so that means either the MacBook or the Mac Mini are getting the update. Regardless of which one it is, the X3100 graphics chipset only works on the Santa Rosa platform which means that Santa Rosa is either getting added to the MacBook, the Mac Mini, or Apple is releasing a new, slightly lower end, MacBook Pro. The latter is possible due to the rumors of an all aluminum (like the MacBook Pro’s) 13” ultra portable being in the works, combined with the fact that the MacBook Pro’s are the only mobile line of Apple’s that already support the Santa Rosa platform.
