Apple Netbook

No Such Thing as a $99 Netbook

ZD Net's Tom Steinert-Threlkeld says:

"Oh, the heart goes aflutter with the idea that a netbook is coming out from Apple.

"And, some hearts might just pop a valve with the idea that it'll only cost $99.

"But, I'm not buying that this week's single line in the Boy Genius Report does in fact signal the arrival of a $99 Apple netbook...."

Apple's Netbook Will Flop

The Street's Scott Moritz says:

"Like a moth to a hot trend, Apple will fly into the netbook flame and get burned.

"The company will unveil a 10-inch touch-screen tablet computer sometime this year, say analysts. Not only does Apple want to showcase its design prowess, the company desperately needs a new hit to revitalize its computer line-up. Mac sales fell 16% from year-ago levels last month.

"No question, the tablet will dazzle Apple fans who typically don't think twice about paying upwards of $2,000 for the latest, greatest Mac. But beyond the core fan base, Apple will discover what other PC makers have known for a while: Consumers find big tablets hard to swallow....

"There's a more eye-opening index that Apple investors should probably heed. Nine of the 10 bestselling computers at Amazon as of today were netbooks. And only one sold for more than $400."

Apple Could Find Margins in Netbooks

The Street's James Rogers says:

"[Apple] is rumored to have its eye on the netbook market, a move that would signal a major change in the company's strategy.

"The iPhone maker has so far avoided mini-computers, preferring to focus its energy on feature-rich, premium-priced products like the MacBook.

"As Apple's results show, this strategy has worked....

"With a string of healthy product lines and $28 billion in cash, does Apple really need to lower its margins with netbooks?

"At least one analyst, however, claims that this may not be the case and argues that Apple must jump into netbooks.

"'I think it's crucial for them to continue to gain share,' Brian Marshall, an analyst at Broadpoint AmTech, told TheStreet.com. 'The success of Apple is in their continued share gains.'"

Apple's Tablet Will Flop? We'll Believe It When We See It

Silicon Alley Insider's Dan Frommer says:

"TheStreet.com's Scott Moritz pans the not-yet-announced Apple tablet and gets the Apple blog army up in arms.

"Specifically, Moritz predicts that Apple's (AAPL) supposedly forthcoming tablet computer 'will flop.'....

"We don't know any more than Moritz about Apple's supposed tablet plans. It's possible he will be right. But Moritz forgets to mention a few important things that are in Apple's favor....

"Apple products don't generally flop. They have a track record of building popular products - and few duds."

7 Features of an Apple Netbook

Retrevo's Andrew Eisner says:

"The rumors are flying on an Apple netbook, with some reliable sources claiming confirmation of a forthcoming device, but that doesn't stop us from fantasizing about what an Apple netbook might look like. We are big netbook fans and think an Apple netbook is a great idea. Apple watchers agree that a netbook from Apple is likely, pointing to the acquisition of P.A. Semiconductor and the hiring of Mark Papermaster from IBM as signs that Apple is planning a new mobile device like a netbook."

Apple OLED Notebook & iPhone Confirmed by LG

SmartHouse's David Richards reports:

"Apple is set to launch new OLED notebooks and flat panel monitors along with a new OLED iPhone claim sources at LG in Korea.

"It's also believed that a new iPhone and iPod touch due later this year will include an OLED screen made by LG who last year scored a multibillion dollar deal to manufacture display screens for Apple.

"One source that SmartHouse has spoken to claims that Apple already have working prototype of a new Netbook which will be manufactured in Taiwan with the OLED screen supplied by LG...."

What I Learned from Having My Laptop Stolen

TidBITS' David Blatner says:

"Someday, somewhere, somehow your computer will be gone. It will be stolen, or the hard drive will self-destruct, or it will be hit by a meteor. While the latter would at least provide you with an excellent story, having your laptop stolen, as mine was recently, just plain sucks. However, I did manage to learn a few things in the wake of disaster, and wanted to take the opportunity to share them with you here.

"Three things are lost with a computer's theft: hardware, data, and privacy. I'll let others deal with the emotional aspects of loss, and instead focus on the practical ones...."

MacBook Pros with X1600 Graphics Experiencing Issues

MacFixIt reports:

"MacBook Pro users with models that have the ATI Radeon X1600 graphics cards* have been reporting issues such as horizontal lines of noise and other display artifacts. These issues seem primarily affect early MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo machines....

"Apple's OS X update to 10.5.6 was supposed to fix issues related to graphics on some MacBook Pro models (as described in its update details). However, many users found that the graphics problems still existed after installing the update....

"Currently there is no official fix or solution for this issue from Apple. In some cases, Apple will issue a recall or automatic repair for known issues across a certain serial code set or a particular model. The issues surrounding the ATI Radeon X1600 graphics card have not qualified for any such program to date and Apple is treating these issues on a case-by-case basis...."

*This covers the original Core Duo MacBook Pro models, the next generation Core 2 Duo ones, and the Santa Rosa models. dk

2-Finger Scrolling Not Working on New MacBooks

MacFixIt reports:

"After migrating from a previous-generation Macintosh model to a newer laptop that has some form of multitouch support in the trackpad, several people have found the two-finger scrolling doesn't appear to work....

"In most cases, various multifingered gestures seem to work just fine, with only the two-finger scrolling not functioning properly.

"This problem seems to happen only when people are migrating, and not with new hardware or when fresh system software is installed on the newer computers, which indicates the problem is a software setting and not a faulty trackpad...."

How to Calibrate Your MacBook's Battery

Fairer Platform says:

"Proper care and feeding of your Apple portable's battery can help you achieve longer run time and extend battery life. Here's a quick tutorial on calibrating your MacBook (Pro, Air)'s battery.

"You should calibrate your portable's battery about once a month or so, and the methodology for getting the job is quite simple...."

MacBook Pro SuperDrive Error During DVD Burning

MacFixIt reports:

"Users trying to burn DVDs on MacBook Pros have reported burn errors (code 0x80020063 or 0x8002006E) that prevent them from successfully creating their DVD. Disk burning issues can often be associated with some sort of hardware malfunction. However, in this case, the issues are somewhat software related...."

Dell's Adamo Looks Like a MacBook, but Isn't a MacBook

Dell Adamo notebookThe Industry Standard's Paul Boutin says:

"I'm convinced the Adamo will never become an Apple-like cultural icon.

"It's slim, sleek, and sexy. Dell's new Adamo notebook is thinner by one-tenth of an inch than the fat end of a MacBook Air. It's a bit pricier, but unlike the MacBook you can get mobile broadband built in. It's definitely one of the sharpest-looking laptops ever.

"Too bad it runs Vista . . . It'll always be 'the Windows machine that's sort of like a MacBook.'"

Apple Patent Hints at Laptop Handles

"Third parties have sold attachable handles for Apple laptops for some time. Now Apple may be preparing to get in the game itself with future laptops. An Apple patent (number 7508662) for a handle arrangement with integrated heat pipe has appeared at the US Patent & Trademark Office...."

Laptop Battery Power Conservation Tips

PC World's James A. Martin says:

"In some respects, life as a laptop-carrying frequent flyer has gotten a little easier. Exhibit A: Though far from commonplace, it's not freakishly bizarre anymore to find a power port at your airplane seat - even in coach. Virgin America and American Airlines are among the most generous airlines in terms of supplying power ports to passengers.

"But it's still way too easy to run out of juice in flight, or during the course of a long day away from a wall socket. Here are some tips for keeping your laptop running as long as possible when you're on the go...."

Apple Updates

MacBook Pro 17" Graphics Firmware Update 1.0

Addresses the appearance of vertical lines or distorted graphics.

You should download and install the MacBook Pro Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 on your MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009) computer. The update addresses the possibility of vertical lines or distorted graphics on the display.

Products Affected

  • MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009)

There are two parts to this process:

  1. Installing the firmware update application onto your hard drive.
  2. Using the firmware update application to update your graphics subsystem firmware.

Before you begin, your MacBook Pro must be plugged into a working power source, and the battery must be charged to at least 50%. Some USB and FireWire devices may prevent firmware updates from installing correctly. Disconnect nonessential devices for the best install experience.

This update requires a Macintosh-formatted disk or partition and an administrator password.

  1. Close any open applications.
  2. Download the MacBook Pro Graphics Firmware Update 1.0. The download will place a disk image that contains an installer into your default download location.
    Note: If you downloaded the update using Safari, Safari will notify you that an application is contained in the image. Click OK to continue.
  3. If "Open safe files after downloading" is selected in Safari preferences, the disk image file will mount by itself. If that preference is not enabled in Safari, double-click the disk image to mount it.
  4. Double-click the graphics firmware update disk image to open it.
  5. Double-click the MBPGraphicsFWUpdate1.0.pkg file.
  6. Read the introduction, then click Continue.
  7. After reading the licensing agreement, click Continue.
  8. To agree to its terms, click Agree.
  9. Click Install to install the update application to the folder path /Applications/Utilities.
  10. You will be asked for your administrator password. Enter the password and click OK.
  11. After the software successfully installs to your hard drive, an Installation Completed Successfully message appears. Click Close to start the updater application.
  12. Read the onscreen firmware update installation instructions, then click Restart in the MacBook Pro Graphics Firmware Update window and wait for your computer to restart. If asked to reenter your administrator password, enter the password and click OK.
  13. After the restart, the firmware update starts automatically. A status bar indicates the progress of the update.
    Important: Do not interrupt the update. Do not press any keys on the keyboard or hold down the trackpad or mouse button during the update. The installation may take several minutes.
  14. Your computer will restart automatically when the update completes, and a dialog will confirm your firmware is now up-to-date.

To determine if your MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009) has successfully installed this update, follow these steps:

  1. From the Apple menu choose About this Mac.
  2. Click More Info... to open the System Profiler.
  3. In the Hardware section of the System Profile, select Graphics/Displays.
  4. If you have successfully applied the update, the gMux Version should be 1.7.10.

Proporta Impact Protective Crystal Shell for MacBook

Proporta Impact Protective Crystal Case Shell for MacBookPR: As a 13" Apple aluminum MacBook owner I can affirm from daily observation that it is a thing of beauty, which makes the thought of it getting scratched, scuffed, or dented painful to contemplate. Something this nice deserves the very best in protection to keep it that way, and Proporta's new Impact Protective Crystal Case for the 13" unibody MacBook 13" is crafted to the exact dimensions and specifications of the unibody, superimposing a scratch resistant shell that adds almost no bulk or weight, but provides a barrier layer of protection against knocks, impact damage, and any other surprises that life on the road or even closer to home might have in store.

Shatterproof and shock-absorbent, the Impact Protective Crystal Case is tough, and incorporates clever cutouts that give you access to the 'Book's ports and controls, so that you under normal circumstances should not have to remove your MacBook from the case. The Crystal Case is available in three translucent colors - charcoal, red or clear, and its stylish design means that your MacBook will still look sleek and sharp and you may find its polycarbonate has a more congenial tactile feel and offers a more secure grip (without skin oils and hand grime soiling the computer's pristine surface) than the MacBook's bare anodized aluminum.

Offering all round protection and a smart, stylish finish, using the Proporta Impact Protective Crystal Case is an attractive way to keep your MacBook safe and sound.

Key Features:

  • Available in charcoal, red or clear.
  • Shatterproof and shock absorbent.
  • Scratch resistant.
  • Cutouts give access to ports and controls.
  • Secure closure prevents accidental opening.
