Fire Sale Prices on Previous Generation Mac
Notebooks
AppleInsider
staff reports that while Apple retail stores this week have been
waiting on the first shipments of new Mac notebooks announced Monday,
the company has quietly introduced end-of-life pricing on previous
generation models to help its shops clear remaining inventory.
Price cuts:
- previous-generation 13-inch MacBooks - $100 to $300
- previous-generation MacBook Airs - $400 to $800
- previous-generation MacBook Pros - $400 to $500
I'll note that since the new 13" MacBook Pro has a
list price $100 less than the foregoing 13" MacBook, the "discount"
there is not much of a bargain, although if digital audio support is
important to you, the 13" Unibody MacBook has it while the 13" MacBook
Pro doesn't - otherwise the Pro unit is a superior value.

Mac Prices Bargains to Some, Too High for
Others
ZD Net's Sam Diaz says:
"Lauren would have felt so uncool at yesterday's Worldwide
Developer's Conference keynote speech. You remember Lauren, right? She was the gal
in the Microsoft commercial who actually wanted to buy a Mac but had to
walk out of Apple store when she discovered there was no 17-inch laptop
there for under $1,000.
"Sure, the
17-inch Macs are a better bargain this week than they were last week -
a more powerful machine that's $300 cheaper. But no, Lauren, it's still
not under $1,000. The 17-inch is down to $2,499....
"Mac owners have had a taste of something better in computing and
understand that there's a premium price that must be paid to get that
something better - and they're willing to pay. Sure, you could probably
pick up two Windows machines (17-inch machines, at that) for the same
$1,199 - but there's an old saying about getting what you pay for
(cough cough . . . Windows.)"

iFixit 13" Macbook Pro Teardown
iFixIt CEO Kyle Wiens says that
they've completed their teardown of the 13" MacBook Pro and discovered
some Interesting tidbits:
- The SD card slot is rather unimaginative, and half the card hangs
outside the computer. Apparently, Apple couldn't free up enough space
for a slot that would make the card completely captive.
- Fortunately, Apple did free up space to include a single FireWire
800 port.
- The battery is easily user-upgradeable. All you need is a small
Phillips screwdriver to open the case, and a tri-wing screwdriver to
remove the battery.
- The battery is definitely heavier (360 grams compared to 302g for
the old one). However, its capacity is 60 Watt-hours, compared to the
lighter battery's 45 W-h.
- Apple's claim for battery life in now 7 hours, compared to the
MacBook's 5 hours.
- The new battery is not interchangeable at all with the older
MacBook Unibody. The connectors, size, and shape are different,
preventing easy DIY battery rigging.
The mid wall dividing the MacBook Pro is now attached to the top case.
In the previous model, it was held in by four Phillips screws - just
goes to show that Apple is trying to help out its DIY customers.- Aside from a couple of visual cues found outside, a casual user
would not be able to discern if this was a MacBook Unibody or MacBook
Pro.
- Most screw layouts and brackets are identical to the old MacBook
Unibody.
- Despite now being a "Pro, " the machine makes do with only a single
audio jack. The jack supports both analog and digital audio-out, as
well as analog audio-in. If you need digital audio-in, this is not the
machine for you.
Wiens also notes that iFixIt have just released a full set of
MacBook
Unibody repair guides. The design is similar enough that the guides
can also be used to repair a MacBook Pro 13" Unibody.

"Armed with a longer battery life, a new SD Card reader, faster
processors, and support for up to 8 GB of RAM, the new line of
MacBook Pros are taking Apple's notebook experience to the next level.
And by the way, they're cheaper too. In fact, Apple has added a 13-inch
model to the family, summoning cheers of joy throughout the throngs of
former 12-inch Powerbook users
clamoring for a smaller professional grade notebook. But what else does

The Case of the Missing ExpressCard Slot
Macworld's
Peter Cohen notes that Apple new/refreshed MacBook Pro 13" and 15"
models each get a SD Card Slot, but in the case of the 15-inch, this
resulted in elimination of the ExpressCard/34 expansion slot that had
been in every 15-inch MacBook Pro since its inception, leading to howls
of protest from certain classes of MacBook Pro users who depended on
that interface, even though an ExpressCard/34 expansion slot is still
offered on the 17" MacBook Pro.

SanDisk Surprised by MacBook Pro SD Card
Support
FastCompany's
David Lidsky reports that even Eric Bone, a retail VP at SanDisk, was
blindsided when Apple added an SD Card slot to its refreshed line of
MacBook Pro laptops on Monday, since Apple's style has been to forgo
expansion card slots of any sort, much less one based on a format that
it doesn't control.
Bone is cited suggesting that the SD Card format especially well
suites the thin unibody form factor and also notes that SD Cards are
now in pretty much every kind of portable hardware. Whatever Apple's
motivation, it's great news for SanDisk, which has been laboring
mightily to communicate that SD cards are for more than just moving
images off your camera to your computer.
Bone tells Lidsky that SanDisk doesn't plan to release any new cards
explicitly targeting MacBook Pro users, since unlike with netbooks
limited storage. it's not really an issue than with a laptop's 160 GB
and up hard drives.

Apple Takes a New Netbook Position

isn't playing in the netbook market - and potentially why it could -
citing a comment by Apple's director of portables Todd Benjamin that a
MacBook can author a DVD, author a photo book, "anything you want to
do," while netbooks typically lack certain features and are designed
mainly for content consumption. Macs, on the other hand, are oriented
to author content and "make amazing things," which netbooks are not

New MacBook Pro Highlights the Performance of
1394b
PR: Apple's decision to include 1394b in its newest
MacBook Pro computers emphasizes the superior performance of FireWire
800 and its popularity among users worldwide, the 1394 Trade
Association said today.
At its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco June
8, Apple introduced the new 13-inch MacBook Pro with 1394b to applause
and cheers from attendees when Apple VP of Product Marketing Phil
Schiller introduced the new computers, saying, "Doesn't every MacBook
Pro deserve FireWire 800?"
Along with FireWire800, the MacBook Pro also includes a built-in
battery, like the 17-inch and new 15-inch MacBook Pro. According to
Apple, the 13-inch MacBook Pro is the company's 'fastest' ever, and has
the same display as the new 15-inch MacBook Pro with a 60 percent
increase in color gamut, sports a back-lit keyboard and SD card slot,
offers up to seven hours of battery life, up to 8 GB RAM, and up
to a 500GB hard drive. The new version is available now.
For months, Apple customers and users have made clear their support
for 1394 through petitions, web logs, and general commentary directed
at the company.
"FireWire has proved itself to be extremely popular, and Apple has
responded with a terrific new MacBook Pro with 1394b," said James
Snider, executive director, 1394 Trade Association. "1394b delivers 800
Megabit/second speed, excellent read/write performance, networking
capabilities over distances of 100 meters over CAT-5 and fiber, and
improved overall network efficiency compared with 1394a and with all
versions of USB. We are delighted to see that Apple's users and
supporters of FireWire have been rewarded with this new product
announcement."
The 1394 Trade Association is a worldwide organization dedicated to
the advancement of the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) standard. The 1394TA
recently celebrated its 14th year of promoting 1394 and its one
billionth 1394 port shipped. FireWire is used today in mass-market
computer, entertainment, and professional products, and in a wide range
of specialty applications such as music, defense, aerospace,
industrial, and robotics products. For more information, visit

Intel Atom Platform Grows More Confusing
Register Hardware's Tony Smith comments that Intel's Atom initiative may have
proved successful so far, but the chip giant has done itself no favours
by releasing two versions of the chip - currently available in two
families: 'Silverthorne' and 'Diamondville' - one for handheld internet
tablets (MIDs), the second for netbooks and, in a dual-core form, for
desktops. However, confusing the issue, you can buy netbooks based on
Silverthorne chips, sold as Intel's Atom Z series, and further muddying
the waters, Intel recently revealed more detail about 'Pine Trail', its
next-gen netbook-centric Atom CPU and chipset combo series, which Smith
says bears a remarkable resemblance to 'Moorestown', Intel's follow up
to the Atom platform for MIDs.

Virgin Mobile USA Introduces 3G Broadband2Go
PR: Virgin Mobile USA has announced the launch of
Broadband2Go, a 3G nationwide wireless Internet service without an
annual contract, monthly subscription or activation fee. With
Broadband2Go, Virgin Mobile USA extends the popularity of prepaid cell
phone service, which the company transformed, to online access.
Operating on the Sprint Nationwide Network and developed
in conjunction with Novatel Wireless, the MC760 Broadband2Go device
carries the distinction of being the world's smallest EV-DO Rev. A
modem. It will be available exclusively at Best Buy Mobile starting in
late June for $149.99, and is the first prepaid broadband product Best
Buy Mobile is offering.
"Forget the long-term contracts, monthly bills, or desperately
seeking a local coffee shop for Wi-Fi. Prepaid mobile broadband is
ideal for students, families on the go, freelancers, anyone who needs
wireless Internet access . . . and wants to pay only when
they use it," said Bob Stohrer, CMO, Virgin Mobile USA. "We've already
demonstrated the benefit of no annual contracts and the ability to
tailor spending to individual needs. Broadband2Go is another way to
give consumers value, flexibility and convenience."
Current Broadband2Go rates
"As the exclusive retailer, we are extremely excited to bring this
nationwide no-contract mobile broadband solution to our customers for
the first time," said Best Buy Mobile President Shawn Score. "We
believe this product will dramatically alter the marketplace and
significantly change the way consumers spend their money connecting to
the Internet. For Best Buy Mobile, it aligns perfectly with our goal of
providing value and choice to our customers who are looking to get more
out of their mobile life." Virgin Mobile USA's partnership with Best
Buy Mobile will also make the new Broadband2Go available at airport
kiosks later this summer.
Like Virgin Mobile USA's mobile phone service, activation is simple
and megabytes can be added as often as needed with credit/debit cards
or Virgin Mobile Top-Up cards. Top-Up cards can be used to purchase
data usage from 100MB to 1 gigabyte on the pay-as-you-go model. A new
Broadband2Go-branded Top-Up card for $20, which customers may use to
purchase 250MB good for 30 days, translating roughly into 12 hours of
web browsing. Other data plans are available at $10, $40 and $60, and
any VMU Top-Up card can be used.
Designed to be extremely durable and compact, the Broadband2Go
device combines a variety of innovative features into its tiny form
factor including an integrated microSD™ slot allowing for the
seamless storage and transport of up to 16GB of files, photos or videos
on a hot-swappable, removable SD storage card [sold separately]. At
just over two inches long and weighing less than an ounce, the device
is designed to work with any laptop, tablet PC or desktop running
Windows, Mac or Linux operating systems and equipped with a Type-A USB
port. The MC760 features an internal, advanced dual band diversity
antenna, as well as an optional external antenna for enhanced
performance on the fringe areas of networks and in highly mobile
environments.
"We're delighted to work with Virgin Mobile USA to deliver mobile
broadband solutions that provide industry leading performance and
unprecedented functionality for our customers," said Peter Leparulo,
chairman and CEO, Novatel Wireless. "The MC760 combines powerful
performance and high capacity removable memory storage with a sleek
form factor to provide the ultimate connectivity solution for users on
the go."
Virgin Mobile USA's Broadband2Go requires no activation fee and
there are no roaming charges. Customers have a real-time usage meter to
monitor and check "Remaining Megabytes of Use" at any time. From the
Broadband2Go My Account page, customers are provided with approximate
estimates for how many hours of web-browsing, video-viewing and number
of emails each plan will generally handle.
According to market research firm Infonetics(1), sales of mobile
broadband cards topped $4.1 billion worldwide in 2008, and IDC reports
that represents approximately 7.1 million U.S. subscribers. Growth from
2007 to 2008 was 60%, and IDC also says the 3G mobile broadband market
is expected to grow to $10.4 billion in 2012.
