Mac Sales Growing Much Faster Than PCs Thanks to
Popular Laptops
DailyTech's
Jason Mick reports that Mac shipments are on the rise in the wake of
Apple's new MacBook releases at the Worldwide Developer Conference
(WWDC), which are helping propel Apple sales to grow at a faster rate
than PC sales with a reported 25% month-to-month increase in Mac
shipments in May, while the market in general only saw only a very
modest 1 percent growth.

Demand for New 2.53 GHz MacBook Pros Outstrips
Supply
Fortune's
Philip Elmer-DeWitt says:
"The new MacBooks are hot - and we're not talking about the
lap-scorching temperature of their aluminum unibodies.
"Apple's online store is currently showing a 7- to 10-day delay in shipping
two models of the MacBook Pro - the high-end ($1,500)
13-inch and the entry-level ($1,700)
15-inch."
Editor's note: As noted on Hardmac (below), the
problem seems to be the 250 GB 5400 rpm hard drive supply, not the
computers themselves. dk

Short Supply of Notebook Hard Drives May Continue

Hans Wu and Adam Hwang, report that the tight supply of notebook hard

"The demand for Toshiba's 250GB single-platter HDDs from notebook
players has increased significantly since May 2009...."

2.53 GHz MacBook Pro Backlog Mystery Solved
Hardmac's
crispin and Lionel report that many sites are discussing how the 13"
MacBook Pro is such a success that Apple is being challenged to keep up
with demand for the top-of-the-range 2.53 GHz model, which has a
delivery date of 7 to 10 days vs. 24 hours for other models.
They suggest that the real bottleneck is with the 250 GB 5400 rpm
hard drives that come standard in the 2.53 GHz vesion and note that if
one chooses that drive on the entry-level model, they also get a
delivery date of 7 to 10 days. When they further specify a different
storage drive option from the 250 GB hard drive with the 2.53 GHz
model, delivery time drops to 3 days - normal for a build-to-order
machine - so the only problem that Apple seems to have is a shortage of
250 GB drives, something Digitimes reported
recently.

Revamped MacBook Pro Line Delivers Top-notch
Display Quality
Rob
Galbraith observes that not only does the recently-revamped 15" MacBook
Pro now ship with a superb colour-accurate display, the new 13" MacBook
Pro does also, and the the 17" has both a great display and an
antiglare option. All told, says Galbraith, the current MacBook Pro
lineup offers the best displays for photographers ever seen from Apple,
with a potential solution for the remaining bugaboo - display
glossiness (Rob is not a fan, and explains in considerable detail why
glossy displays are a deal-breaker for him) - coming a bit later this
year.
This is an excellent, comprehensive review and analysis of the state
of the art in MacBook Pro displays particularly in the context of using
Apple laptops as a serious photography tool with lots of photo
illustrations, and Galbraith says that no matter which of the three
MacBook Pro models you select, you'll be buying a display that delivers
better colour accuracy than any Apple laptop he's ever profiled since
he first began doing so in earnest back in 2001.
Rob also looks at how the MacBook Pro displays stack up against the
the 17" Lenovo ThinkPad W700 that incorporates a colour-accurate
display (when ordered with its 400nit screen option) and a host of
other features aimed at photographers, including an optional screen
calibrator built into the palmrest.
There is a discussion of the relative virtues of the 13" vs. the 15"
MacBook Pro, with Rob noting that while conventional wisdom has it that
a laptop in the 15 inch range will usually offer photographers the
ideal mix of features and size, the new 13 inch unibody MacBook Pro
offers the key elements of the 15 inch, including a colour accurate
display, FireWire 800 and more in a smaller, lighter and less expensive
package, and in actual use the one he's kept gravitating towards is the
13" MacBook Pro, which he says could well be the more enticing option
for Mac-based photographers wanting to pay less and carry less.

A Close-Up on Apple Displays
Still on the
topic of displays, MacNewsWorld's Chris Maxcer notes that a widescreen
Apple display looks nice alongside a Mac Pro, with their matching
aluminum constructions, but queries whether beyond design aesthetics
whether the value proposition for Apple's lineup of pricey monitors
shapes up compared with features and specs compare with rivals' elite
and cheaper offerings.
For example Apple's "cheapest" display option, the notebook-oriented
24" LED Cinema Display, sells for a whopping $899 and the 30" Apple
Cinema HD Display $1,799 while it's easy to find displays of similar
sizes for hundreds of dollars less from brands like Samsung or HP or
even Dell. So is buying Apple displays and why?

Warning about Charging Notebook Batteries
ZD Net's Jason D. O'Grady
says:
"While it's true that the 'memory effect' suffered by older battery
technology is largely gone in lithium cells, the purpose of running a
battery down before recharging it is to keep the chemistry active
inside the cells. If your MacBook is always plugged in and just topping
off, the chemicals in the lower portion of the battery don't get used
as designed and can decay prematurely.
"If you purchased one of Apple's new mid 2009 MacBook Pros with the
sealed battery, it's especially important to calibrate the battery
right away and then every few months after that. Apple also advises
that if you normally leave your MacBook connected to AC power and
rarely use it on battery power you may want to perform this process
once a month.
"It's curious that Apple makes no mention of this use it or lose it
battery guidance in the MacBook Pro user guide. How are people supposed
to know about this technique if it's not in the manual and not on their
Web site?"

"Many Apple enthusiasts are dreaming of the day when the company

MacBook Pro Owner Caught in Warranty Catch-22

"Because of an Apple technician's mistake, Gennadiy had two options
for repairing his 2009 MacBook Pro: either pay $1240+tax to replace the
logic board because Apple said water damage voided the warranty, or
push the unseated cable back into place and prove that there was no
water damage which would void the warranty. Gennadiy took the second
option and saved himself over $1300, but now has no warranty should
something actually happen to the logic board that should be

15" MacBook Pro the 'Best Laptop Money Can
Buy'
InfoWorld's
Tom Yager observes that the new 15" MacBook Pro is faster, runs
longer on a charge, doubles the memory capacity, adds an SD card slot,
has a gorgeous wide-gamut display and a lower price. In short, the
quintessential commercial notebook is now even better, according to Tom
now the best laptop money can buy "primped and primed for Mac OS X Snow
Leopard, Windows 7, and professionals of all stripes," osts less than
the model that preceded it, and puts competing commercial high-end
notebooks back at the starting line
"For the money, there is no better-built notebook," Tom reiterates,
adding that the MacBook Pro is a five-year machine, by design and track
record, and "If you choose to replace a 15-inch MacBook Pro in two
years, you'll be able to sell it for most of what you paid for it."

'Recommended Award' for 13" MacBook Pro
TrustedReviews' Andy Vandervell reports:
"Last year's arrival of the aluminium 'unibody' MacBooks
(see Apple MacBook 13in) was something of a revelation where laptop
design was concerned. No surprises there really, if nothing else Apple
is known for its great design. However, as impressive as the new
MacBooks were, there were one or two niggling issues that prevented the
full TrustedReviews stamp of approval: a Recommended Award. Now that
Apple has refreshed its line-up, it's time to see if any of the changes
warrant an upgrade in status."
"Non-user replaceable battery aside, it's difficult to find fault
with the new 13in MacBook Pro. All the things that made it great in the
first place remain, but they've been joined by highly desirable
features like the FireWire port, SD card reader and the now standard
backlit keyboard. Add-in outstanding battery life, a faster CPU and a
slightly more affordable price and you've got a package well deserving
of a Recommended Award."

Latest White MacBook 'an Attractive Entry-level
Mac OS X System'
Register Hardware's Stephen Dean says:
"This time last year, Apple's laptop range consisted of two main
product lines. The mainstream, consumer model for home users and the
education market was the highly popular MacBook . . . once
the runt of the line, now the only non-Pro Mac laptop
"In January 2009, there was an odd update to the White MacBook which
actually decreased the processor speed from 2.1GHz to 2.0GHz
. . . but compensated by giving the White MacBook the same
GeForce 9400M integrated graphics chipset as the metal model....
"The aluminium MacBook has been reworked and promoted to the rank of
MacBook Pro. This means that the plastic MacBook is once again the sole
mainstream model for consumers, while the shiny metal stuff is reserved
purely for 'serious' folk."

Consumer Confusion about Netbooks Continues
PR: Netbook, notebook - they sound the same. According to a
new report from leading market research company, The NPD Group, many
consumers believe the two have the same functionalities. NPD's Netbooks
II: A Closer Look report, found that 60 percent of consumers who
purchased a netbook instead of a notebook thought their netbooks would
have the same functionality as notebooks.
That confusion about functionality is leading to some
dissatisfaction. Only 58 percent of consumers who bought a netbook
instead of a notebook said they were very satisfied with their
purchase, compared to 70 percent of consumers who planned on buying a
netbook from the start.
Satisfaction was even harder to ascertain among 18- to 24-year-olds,
one of the main demographics manufacturers were hoping to win over with
the new products. Among that age group, 65 percent said they bought
their netbooks expecting better performance, and only 27 percent said
their netbooks performed better than expected.
One marketing aspect that has interested buyers is the portability
factor. It's been the key marketing tool for netbook manufacturers, and
consumers agree that it is a great feature. Sixty percent of them said
that was a main reason they bought their netbooks. However, once they
got home, 60 percent of buyers said they never even took their netbooks
out of the house.
"We need to make sure consumers are buying a PC intended for what
they plan to do with it," said Stephen Baker, vice president of
industry analysis at NPD. "There is a serious risk of cannibalization
in the notebook market that could cause a real threat to netbooks
success. Retailers and manufacturers can't put too much emphasis on
PC-like capabilities and general features that could convince consumers
that a netbook is a replacement for a notebook. Instead, they should be
marketing mobility, portability, and the need for a companion PC to
ensure consumers know what they are buying and are more satisfied with
their purchases."
Nearly 600 adults from NPD's online panel who were identified as
netbook owners completed this survey between April 27 and May 4,
2009.

USB 2.0 to ExpressCard Adapter
PR: Bummed about Apple dropping ExpressCard 34 support from
the new 15" MacBook Pro in favor of the SD Card format? The MicroU2E-MV
USB 2.0 to USB 2.0 Mode ExpressCard Adapter allows use of USB based
ExpressCards with USB 2.0 equipped computers.
USB mode ExpressCards include: Novatel Wireless Merlin
ExpressCards (XU870, EX720, V740), Option Wireless GT Max 3.6 Express
and GT Express 7.2, storage media ExpressCards like the expSSD, simple
minded RS-232 host adapters like Synchrotech's EXP34-RS232-01, most
ExpressCard to memory card media adapters like Synchrotech's
CFExpressPro, and several others.
Note that the device will not work with any ExpressCard using
the PCI Express (PCIe) portion of the ExpressCard standard. This is the
majority of ExpressCards that do any other than the devices discussed
above. Any real host adapter for SATA, FireWire, Ethernet, USB 2.0,
etc. will not work with the MicroU2E-MV USB 2.0 to USB 2.0 Mode
ExpressCard 34|54 Host Adapter.
The MicroU2E-MV USB 2.0 to USB 2.0 Mode ExpressCard 34|54 Host
Adapter should provide more than enough power to ExpressCards when
plugged into a 500mA USB 2.0 port. However, some ExpressCards including
WWAN wireless broadband cards benefit from the use of the DoubleQueue
cable plugged into two USB ports. The additional power helps when
located further from wireless carrier towers. Use with 300mA USB 2.0
ports is not recommended and may not provide sufficient current for
certain ExpressCard applications.
Using USB 2.0 technology, the device supports high speed
applications including HSDPA and HSUPA ExpressCards. The MicroU2E-MV
USB 2.0 to USB 2.0 Mode ExpressCard Host Adapter is very small and
lightweight, providing excellent portability.
