At the recent Apple Oct 2008 event...
State of the Mac
Sold 2.5 millions mac (last quarter)
How they did that ?
New Ways to Build Notebooks
The challenges of building thin and light notebook is to make the structure strong and robust.
The old MacBook was made from assembling small units of structures.
The revolutionary Macbook Air reinvents the wheel by doing the opposite - started from a solid board, removing away unwanted parts to cater for the features and it results as 'unibody enclosure'.
New Graphics for Notebooks
Combine the chipset and embedded graphic processor all in one part - Nvidia GForce 9400M.
What I like about it is the removable hard disk (solid state drive) known as 'slot-loading super drive' feature.
Still expensive for Ringgit Malaysian conversion and thus Apple computer is still a luxury thing in Malaysia. I still think that my next upgrade of Notebook will be Lenovo Thinkpad T61. I would love to have a tablet PC but the screen is usually just 12 inch (too small).
