New Macbooks are out

Even though I’m not a Mac fan, Apple events are always fun. Today Apple unveiled a new line of laptops – including a completely new model of their Macbook, Macbook Pro, and a slight upgrade to their Macbook Air. Apple presentation video can be found by clicking here. You can also watch Steve Job’s keynote online. Interesting new features include:

  • a one-piece aluminium body – lighter, nicer, greater stability
  • glass touchpad with no mouse button – the entire touchpad is now the button
  • black keyboard (YES!!!) – even though some people I know don’t like it at all, I think it looks great
  • Dual NVIDIA graphics cards for the Mac gamers out there (also known, as I learnt today, as the {} set :) )
  • Backlit LCD screen, meaning faster display times and lower power comsumption

Also released today was the new 24-inch LCD cinema display, which looks amazing no matter what type of technology or non-technology fan you are.

It’s all good in geeky-land today.
