Apple Updates $999 MacBook White
On Tuesday Apple quietly updated the entry-level polycarbonate
MacBook White's Core
2 Duo clock speed from 2.0 GHz to 2.13 GHz, along with adding 40 GB of
standard hard disk capacity (bringing it to 160 GB), and also upgraded
the price-leader 'Book's RAM specification to 800 MHz SDRAM from 667
MHz RAM in the preceding
version, although it's still slower than the Unibody MacBook's 1066 MHz.
The standard RAM capacity remains at 2 GB, upgradable to 4 GB or
(unofficially) 6 GB.
With this week's upgrade, the base MacBook is now more powerful than
the $300 more expensive low-end unibody model, and has received two
refreshes so far this year while the unibody model has had none since
it was introduced in October 2008, which inclines one to even more
strongly infer that a unibody speed bump is in the offing. It's been
nearly eight months since the Unibodies were introduced, which is a
long interval by historical precedent, and it won't surprise me a bit
if a unibody MacBook speed bump is announced at or around the time of
the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). I don't anticipate anything
radical, but the $1,299 model should be bumped to at least match the
$999 model's clock speed, and possibly to 2.4 GHz, with the higher-end
one going to 2.53 GHz or even 2.8 GHz. They'll probably also get hard
drive upgrades to 250 GB and 320 GB respectively.
We shouldn't expect anything dramatic in processor or video chipset
updates until Intel and Nvidia roll out some new product, and even then
there's usually a lag before Apple brings it on stream.
I would love it if Apple repented of its unfortunate decision to
drop FireWire support from the Unibody MacBook and found a way to
shoehorn in a FireWire port, but I'm not expecting that to happen.
Aside from the changes noted above, the WhiteBook's specifications
remain the same. The $999 machine already had Nvidia GeForce 9400M
integrated graphics with 256 MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared memory and a
faster 1066 MHz frontside bus in its January 21 update.
Very attractive to many Mac laptop fans is that White machine still
has a FireWire port, which the Unibody MacBook doesn't.
13.3" MacBook White (May 2009) Base Specs:
- 2.13 GHz
- Intel Core 2 Duo
- 2 GB DDR2 Memory
- 160 GB hard drive
- Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics
- Standard keyboard
- White polycarbonate shell
- $999
Disable 'Safe Sleep' in Mac OS X to Protect Laptop
Hard Drives
RecoveryForce says that Apple's 'Safe Sleep' feature is a major
factor for iBook, MacBook, and MacBook Pro hard drive crashes, since
when the user closes the lid with the system still on, they are
expecting that the system is entering a sleep mode and powering down
the hard drive and using just enough power necessary to keep the memory
contents stored in RAM, but that's not what's actually happening.
Instead, the system takes the time necessary to save the contents in
RAM to a file on the hard drive, just in case the system runs out of
power while in suspend mode - but the user is often unaware that it can
take several minutes for the memory contents to be saved to disk,
causing the hard drive to remain spinning while the system is being
moved around with less than necessary caution.
The article suggests that in order to avoid causing damage to your
hard drive, you can either wait for the system to completely power down
the hard drive or disable Safe Sleep all together. The article includes
instructions for disabling Safe Sleep.

Turn a MacBook into a Tablet Computer

"If you're craving an ultra-sensitive tablet computer, but you're

"Lifehacker reader Wei . . . could have bought a tablet PC, but the

New MacBook Air Family with 3G, Cheaper Base Model
Rumored
SiliconRumors' Alexandros Roussos says Apple could be readying a
substantial revision of the MacBook Air family of notebooks according
to "sources," with the most significant new feature to be a built-in 3G
modem for connecting to high-speed cellular networks, and a reduced
entry-level price in the $1300 to $1500 range, as well as possibly SSD
(Solid State Drive) data storage becoming the standard configuration
across the line, and less likely is the inclusion of a GPS.

500 GB Seagate Momentus Hard Drive in a
MacBook
CNET Crave's
Nate Lanxon reports that while Apple won't sell you a 500 GB hard disk
for your MacBook yet,* Seagate will, and they've been testing Seagate's
2.5-inch Momentus 5400.6 500 GB ST9500325AS SATA hard disk, which works
nicely in the new unibody MacBooks, noting that 500 GB is "a whole hell
of a lot of storage," and 180 GB more than the maximum 320 GB drive
capacity Apple will sell you.
Happily, Lanxon notes that the Momentus Drive proved quiet and quick
tested on a 2008 Unibody MacBook with 2 GB of RAM and a 2.0 GHz
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, adding that replacing a MacBook hard disk is not
difficult, taking only a couple of minutes, and DIY doesn't invalidate
your warranty.

was introduced. Apple will now sell you a 500 GB drive with your new

SendStation Releases Mini DisplayPort Adapters for
DVI, VGA, and HDMI
PR: SendStation Systems has released its new Mini DisplayPort
Adapters for Mac. Available as DVI, VGA, and HDMI models, the
SendStation Mini DisplayPort Adapter allows you to expand your desktop
size by up to 4 Mio. pixels, creating more space for important things
you need to keep track of or need to work with, such calendars,
mailboxes, to-do lists, Photoshop palettes, or chats with friends.
"Many users are unaware of the Mac's excellent support
for additional, external screens and how easy it is to multiply the
existing desktop space" says André Klein, SendStation Systems's
founder. "With a new MacBook or Mac, all one needs is a SendStation
Mini DisplayPort Adapter and a computer display with DVI or VGA
connection, which often already exists."
Moreover the HDMI model makes it possible to watch movies or show
Keynote or PowerPoint presentations directly from the Mac on a
flatscreen TV or projector.
SendStation Mini DisplayPort Adapters are built under official
license from Apple and work plug & play with
- MacBook 13" Aluminium (Unibody; from October 2008)
- MacBook Pro 15" (Unibody; from October 2008)
- MacBook Pro 17" (Unibody; from January 2009)
- Mac mini (from March 2009)
- iMac (from March 2009)
- Mac Pro (from March 2009)
- all other Macs & PCs equipped with Mini DisplayPort
SendStation Mini DisplayPort Adapters are immediately available from
SendStation Systems and from authorized dealers worldwide. Suggested
retail price across Europe is EUR 22.95 for the HDMI and DVI model or
EUR 24.95 for the VGA model, respectively $22.95/24.95 in the US and
the rest of the world.

iFixit Releases New 14" iBook G4/1.42 GHz
Guide
PR:
iFixit announces an addition to their family of ever-go-happy Guides -
a new guide for the 14" iBook G4/1.42 GHz, which can be identified by
the model number of A1134 printed on the lower case.
There are a few notable hardware differences that give the 14" iBook
G4/1.42 GHz its uniqueness:
The
laptop features a unique AirPort Extreme/Bluetooth combo card located
under the top shield. It is specifically designed to only work in the
12" iBook G4/1.33 GHz and 14" iBook G4/1.42 GHz. Unlike previous iBook
models, the replacement of the combo card requires a bit more finesse.
But don't worry, iFixit strives to make your lives effortless. Simply
follow their free AirPort Card replacement guide.
The 14" iBook G4/1.42 GHz does not utilize a hard drive cable like
its predecessors. It connects to a hard drive connector that is mounted
on the metal framework. Replacing the iBook's hard drive requires a
simple tug and pull.
The Reed Switch board is mounted on top of the optical drive and is
responsible for sleep sensing in the iBook. A combination of a magnet
in the display assembly and this sensor enables your iBook to
automatically go to sleep when the lid is closed and magically wake up
when opened.
iFixit also notes, cryptically, that they may or may not be
releasing a guide for the 12" iBook G4/1.33 GHz in the very near
future.
