New Apple Products

So for the first time in my blog history, this post isn't about my photography. It's about Apples new products... came out at about 1:30 while I was in graphic arts class at school. Guess who's going to be paying a visit to the Apple Store. But anyways here's a little run down.
1. MacBook and MacBook Pro's
First off they look gorgeous!! New LED Display looks stunning. The touch pad is genius. No button. The whole touch pad is the button. And it's glass. A+ with that one Apple.
New keyboard. Looks like the MacBook Air's, and it's backlit!!!
New graphics card as well. NVIDIA GeForce 9400M. Apple says its 5 times faster than the integrated Intel GMA chip in the older MacBooks. That should make some people happy.

The MacBook Pro's processors got a boost. There is now an optional 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. There is also an opional 320 GB 7200-rpm hard drive available in the MacBook Pro. Apple still hasn't made a 17 in model yet. Not sure if they will or not. I guess we will see.

It's looking like Apple is moving away from firewire 400. In the new MacBook Pro's, it only comes with a firewire 800 port. And no mini-dvi either. It's called a mini display port. It looks different so Apple didn't just change the name.

Now for what we all have been waiting for... a Apple display with iSight and built-in mic and speakers.

But not only that... it charges your MacBook and MacBook Pro. A little unexpected extra.


Well there's my little review on it all. I actually plan on stopping my the Apple Store today to check it out so I'll post about my experience. I might even include a couple of pictures.
