Book Book is cool cool

, Jan 22nd 2010 Discuss [1]

I am usually all meh when it comes to new cases for notebook computers, but a new and really cool one for MacBooks has turned up called the Book Book. I am guessing that if you have a Windows machine sized along the lines of a MacBook it would fit inside the Book Book too, but you might have to call it the Book PC or maybe PC Book.

Axiotron Modbooks get cheaper

, Nov 12th 2009 Discuss [1]

Axiotron's Modbook has long been the only semi-official way to get an Apple tablet, with the company taking a pre-unibody MacBook and swiftly twisting it into a Wacom-enabled touchscreen slate.  While we loved our review unit, we weren't too keen on the high price; happily OWC - one of Axiotron's official distribution and conversion agents - have announced a slash of both new and conversion pricing.

MacBook Unibody review (late 2009)

, Oct 22nd 2009 Discuss [7]

With the launch of the unibody MacBook, Apple have not only completed the transition to their newest laptop aesthetic but also narrowed the gap between their entry-level and Pro ranges. On face level that can only mean good things for the end consumer, but does the $999 MacBook really represent the bargain Apple tell us it is? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Apple 13.3-inch MacBook suffers indignity of teardown

, Oct 21st 2009 Discuss [0]

Ah, the lot of a new high-profile gadget.  One day you're making headlines and we're cooing over your new, unibody-style polycarbonate casing; the next you're splayed across a workbench with your guts on show.  iFixit have been doing their usual sterling work, taking the new 13.3-inch MacBook and breaking it down into its component pieces.

Apple new MacBook first-impressions

, Oct 20th 2009 Discuss [1]

With their entry-level MacBook sticking at $999, Apple have obviously decided that avoiding the price-race to the bottom is no way to better the last quarter’s excellent financial performance. We’ve just picked up our 13.3-inch polycarbonate MacBook review unit, and to be frank we can’t blame them; it’s a little thicker and a little heavier than the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro, but it’s also quite a bit cheaper, too.

, Oct 20th 2009 Discuss [0]

The Apple Store has just gone back online with a broad sweep of updates, and I’ve been catching up with Apple this morning to go hands-on with the new range.  After the cut, all the details and some hands-on feedback with the new 13.3-inch MacBook, three new Mac mini desktops, four new iMacs with 21.5-inch and 27-inch Full HD IPS displays and, in the top-spec model, a Core i5 or Core i7 processor, and the new Apple Magic Mouse with a multitouch trackpad.

Apple Store down, huge catalog refresh coming?

, Oct 20th 2009 Discuss [1]

Entirely unsurprisingly, the Apple Store has been taken down for the usual hurried "updates".  While the same thing happened late last month with no noticeable changes, today we're expecting quite a few modifications what with the very recent speculation that Apple are planning to push out a new MacBook, iMac, Mac mini and even peripheral range. Update: The store is back, and here's what you can buy. Read The Full Story

Apple new MacBook, iMac, Mac mini, Mighty Mouse & multitouch desktop tablet imminent?

, Oct 20th 2009 Discuss [0]

Apple may be riding high on another successful financial quarter, but we still wouldn't put it past them to announce a few new products this week in order to stick a spoke in the wheels of Windows 7's launch.  According to man-in-the-know John Gruber, it's not a product trickle but a flood we should be expecting, with both new notebooks and desktops together with multitouch-compatible peripherals on the cards. Update: The new range is now live - all the details here Read The Full Story

Apple report latest finances: Mac sales & margins up, iPod touch sales double

, Oct 20th 2009 Discuss [0]

Apple have announced their fiscal Q4 2009 financial results, and it's been another successful three months for the company.  Anybody suggesting that Apple's tactics of selling relatively few expensive devices (rather than many cheap ones) will have some explaining to do in the face of these latest figures: Mac sales are up around 17-percent from the same period one year ago, while gross margin is up 36.6-percent.  That's helped the company reach $9.87bn in revenue, of which $1.67bn is profit (compared to $1.14bn profit in Q4 2008). After the cut, slumping iPod sales and the promise of "really great new products" by Steve Jobs Read The Full Story

New iMac, MacBook and Mac mini tipped by early adverts

, Oct 5th 2009 Discuss [0]

The iMac/MacBook/Mac mini update rumors continue, with the latest fact to stoke the flames being several AdWords adverts showing up in the Netherlands.  According to Apple Insider, the adverts - which link to a 404 page at present - tip a new MacBook as (translated) "thinner, lighter and faster!", new iMacs as "the Brand new iMac. Ultra Thin 20 & 24 inch models. From only €1099", and a new Mac mini that's "Faster and more affordable than ever. From only €499." Read The Full Story

Apple Store down: new iMacs and MacBooks incoming? Update: Nope, nothing new

, Sep 29th 2009 Discuss [2]

You guessed it, it's a Tuesday and the Apple Store has been taken down for the usual hurried batch of updating.  No word on what we might be seeing added today, but considering the past few weeks have hummed with talk of new iMac desktops and new MacBook entry-level notebooks there could be a pleasant surprise if you're in the market for a new OS X machine. Update: The store is back online (only the US site went down) and there are no changes we can see aside from to the cart system itself.  Looks like this was just maintenance downtime, and we'll have to wait a little longer for new iMacs and MacBooks.
