IGadalka N1

So, on October 14 will be a presentation by Apple, dedicated to notebooks. The network in this context is not very quiet, people are waiting-pozhdet what happens, everything is, and so on. Time before the presentation is short, only a few days, hints and hints, if you look, there is quite a lot. But we will not do digest and search. Rather, I will not. I invite you to the flight of thought and the fabulous fantasy to begin with. At first I write the first Glaucus, and then turn to the network and see what it writes.

Not rumors, and divination

One can say that the September "aypodovsky" announcement was not interesting to read more about it you can here, once again I say thank you to Mr. Dorozhinu for class material. The most interesting is that the pictures of the new Nano scoured the net long before the announcement, and already there was little doubt that it will present here is. The remaining updates are less interesting, perhaps, only headphones have caused some excitement among the owners of technology from Apple, especially those who use the iPhone, despite the lack of a microphone accessory is quite possible to use with this device, because you can speak and just a phone. Hype is not hype, but a dozen long letters asking rather tell them I got. I note that before the end of October at the site will review all new or updated player and headphones, most likely, will also be considered.

Accordingly, if the new Nano it was known then about the new laptops, we know little. But if you look at some trends that are every heard to consumers, we can draw some conclusions and not looking at the network. Look, the trend of times. The iPhone has been tested this design case, when the user does not have access to the battery. This topic has been sucked up to the limit, there is nothing to add, plus the fact that there are no squeaks, no backlash, the construction of more solid and reliable. Lows in the fact that the SIM-card in this unit in the field virtually unavailable (usually with a paper clip, pins, needles do not wear), the second battery to buy for a quick change, too, will fail, as would be desirable. But, look, after the iPhone theme from battery tested on MacBook Air, apparently, felt the wrath of moderate users and decided to go further. What there are pros and cons? About the design I will not say, "air" and so thin, light, what a "battery", even not want to know. Cons ... Well, it's not a phone, but that's high capacity battery, which would seem to fit, but it does would increase working time, not votknesh. What I say about all this? Quite possibly, all new Macs, "we do not have access to the batteries.

Trend number two follows from the first. And again I return to the "air". It was with him started another interesting trend - the miniaturization of notebooks trinadtsatidyuymovymi displays. It is with trinadtsatidyuymovymi, small, thin and light machines with odinnadtsatidyuymovymi screens (or even less) on the market there a long time. Here we see a slim, lightweight (really slim and light) notebook that has retained the dignity of a comfortable keyboard and a normal eye display. This was achieved through various subterfuges, including this special kit, and the chip is not available with a battery and a lack of certain ports. I will assume that miniaturization (weight, thickness) touches now and Professional »MacBook Pro. Until semnadtsatidyuymovyh laptops.

Trend number three - this about any technology holes. That I'm talking about connectors so gently saying. Again, Air. He has connections, in fact, not.It is unlikely that the company will decide to cut back so the functionality of MacBook, MacBook Pro, but for ease, subtlety and so on may well sacrifice something. And it is unlikely to be USB.

Trend number four. I do not think that Apple sit simple, gullible people. I think there sat natural demons who are doing terrible things to the heads of consumers. And rightly so, the business does not place a simple, trusting people. So, surely they have noticed a trend of "netbooks". Accordingly, we must respond. How to respond? See here this way - "It's a real" Mac. " For ????» So figure here is difficult to predict, with a thousand three hundred dollars (like, I do not remember exactly) starts simple MacBook, then we go MacBook Pro, a little out of line is Air, which has a price tag much "flows like" a Depending on the configuration. All the niche of a thousand three hundred and more, in fact, busy, but you can play, offering "It's a real" Mac. " For?? "- Well, let's say, for nine hundred dollars. Or even less. That is below the fourth trend, I admit the appearance of "people» Mac, which, nevertheless, will cost more than the average netbook. But not so much that the difference was very evident, if we talk about the ruble, it's somewhere in twenty thousand. I think the company understands that people and were willing to consume such a product, you just have to give it, to show that Apple can show the "gruel" to all competitors, forcing them to be in the role of catch-up. Perhaps this? Well, let's imagine that the 14 th of actually before our eyes will be Mac for a price ranging from 600 to 900 dollars. That he will have a concise design firm, he will have no DVD-drive (available as an option), the diagonal of the display will be, say, twelve inches, the battery is hidden in the body, while working more than three hours, it is quite normal backlit keyboard, a couple USB-connector, a proprietary connector for the adapter, which will have additional ports to connect to the monitor and anywhere else. Say, will be used even some sly processor specifically designed for this MacNetbook (working title, but you never can tell), allowing to achieve a decent performance for not too large energy consumption. And the whole thing will be clad in aluminum. Reincarnation "dvenashki" fourth generation? And why not? After waiting a long time, and now it's time to build on the success "of netbooks by introducing its compact, but ergonomically comfortable, relatively inexpensive option. After all, look, now even the new iPod is no longer able to return to the public interest to players, eyes are on the iPhone, in extreme cases - for iPod Touch, and it is a kind of Internet tablets, simple players their language does not turn to call. Or phones with the player. But what there is now a market trend? Consumers liked the small and cheap laptops for them vote with their money, even those people who already have a home computer and laptop for business trips. All the same, "netbooks" are used. And, I believe, Apple thought it over and over it and ask pepper EEE PC. Notice, by the way, another interesting thing: the company used to beat on the squares, is the iPod, and iPhone, and laptops are just not yet five-ton hydrogen bomb, capable of hitting customers not only in the U.S. but worldwide. We in the "maquis" transplanted fans of interesting design, simple and understandable operating system, those who have played enough with Windows, in the end, those who are not afraid to try something new. But there is a limiter for normal MacBook more or less accessible, but the MacBook Pro are already toy cars are not for everyone, the price of the modification to the good performance is just as good. In general, likely to be popular Mac, it can not be. Ready to eat, even anything, if you guess right. Let this be a silicone case for iPhone.

And as the stream of consciousness does not stop, then another notion. I think, still try to pay attention to the major drawback of netbooks - while you work. I think it will increase.

The tendency of the number five - multitouch all notebooks, or just be, or its ability to be expanded and supplemented.

Trend number six - these rumors circulated long time, so even without climbing into the network can assume that the entire line of notebooks zakuyut into the metal. This is very serious, unlike other laptops on the market, a serious competitive advantage.

The tendency of the number seven - and the backlit keyboard will remain the same.

The tendency of the number eight - it is quite possible that the power supply will be even less.

Trend number nine - it is possible that in general all the prices for notebooks will be changed.

The tendency of the number ten, it is the latter. Many are interested in the question: whether the new Air? Honestly, I do not think so. Why would he show up? In the market he most recently, the market still eats it, most likely, will be updated after the New Year in traditional presentation.

Now rumors

Well, now I'm pure of heart climb into the network and see what is there to say about the impending presentation. Let's go, for example, on Gizmodo, just look at the photo frame with many connectors and read what they write. Write about some "bricks", quotes from some of the patent - not interested (just kidding). Come on now at Engadget, see photos of the body there - seems to have some kind of model with relatively large diagonal, a large touchpad. This is hardly some kind of little car. Write to the news of our colleagues the following: «Oh Apple - release some new laptops so this madness can end. The forums at MacRumors are abuzz over a Taiwanese site that's showing off pictures of what appears to be a very close cousin of that MacBook Pro-esque casing we saw earlier. This isn't the same model, surely, but it does bear a striking similarity in both design and materials - and after lots of deliberation and comparisons, we're fairly sure this isn't the Air either (the hinge ends in a totally different spot in relation to the keys). That machined quality we noted in the earlier post is present, though as we said previously, the sides of these housings do look like separate pieces. Regardless, if any of this is even remotely true (and not another Photoshop from someone's mother's basement), Apple is indeed taking its laptops in an Air direction, which isn't surprising - but signs of these being the end-result of new manufacturing process? The jury's still way out. One more pic after the break of that controversial side piece ». So I think that this is not Air, again, mention of a new process technology. Perhaps something will happen. At the same favorite sites I speak also about the fact that there may well be all sorts of popugaechnye colors as the new Nano.

Let's go now to other fortune-tellers, at Macrumors.com, see what it will say. O-na, why then just a storehouse of useful information! For example, children write: «The Inquisitr claims that some Apple retailers have already been given price lists for Apple's upcoming laptops and that there are 12 price points ranging from $ 800 to $ 3100. Current laptops are said to have only have 8 retail price points: 3 Macbooks (starting at $ 1099), 3 Macbook Pros and 2 Macbook Airs. There has been speculation that Apple could be dropping prices of their MacBooks ahead of an economic downturn, though analysts predicted the drop would only go as far as $ 999 (from $ 1099). An $ 800 MacBook would represent a $ 300 drop from the current low-end. While The Inquisitr has no prior track record with Apple rumors, the owner of the site and author of the report is a relatively established blogger. One potential cause for doubt is that their source claims that "retail outlets usually get the price lists 10 days before products hit the market" which is not typical. Historically, price lists have appeared as early as a few days ahead of launch. The longest lead time in recent memory was about four days prior to a Monday iMac launch. As a result, it's feasible that (assuming this is true) these rumored product lists could foretell of announcements as early as next week.If so, then we'll likely hear further confirmation from other retail sources shortly ».

I do not about the "netbook" from Apple is talking about? True, something tells me that all these lists and so on is very strange, though, judging by the presentation of Nano, is already beginning to believe that misinformation is hardly possible.

There are still rumors and news about the affairs of certain joint between Apple and Nvidia, and I managed to see some strange photograph supposedly of the new Air, and a whole slew of repetitions of the same news. I want to draw your attention: it published four photographs of a laptop case, but how to write colleagues from the western resources, it is most likely different devices. There are oddities. And the main oddity for me - that's a look at the gap at the end of one of the photos. This is what is the size of a laptop? Or is it not drive? In general, enough to guess, we wait. I am preparing a silicone case. If anything, I'll chew. See you soon, before the 14 th.
