The Future Is SSD

TUAW's David Winograd says that on the Macworld show floor, he didn't really see one specific product that blew him away, but he was able to identify what he thinks is the next big concept that's going to blow all of us away - the SSD (solid state drive), which he thinks is almost ready for prime time.

Winograd notes that Other World Computing's new Mercury Extreme Enterprise SSD drives start at $229 for 50 GB and top out at 200 GB for $779.95, and that his jaw dropped when one of OWC's demo MacBook Pros booted up and started running applications in 32 seconds while a hard drive equipped MacBook Pro took at least three times as long to accomplish the same thing.

Why Isn't Apple Using Intel's Latest Chips?

"What happened to Intel and Apple?" asks 9 to 5 Mac's Seth Weintraub, noting that Intel CEO Paul Otellini used to pop up at Apple presentations and pal around with Steve Jobs like they were best buds. Since switching to Intel CPUs, Apple was always the first one to get new Intel chips, sometimes before they were announced officially. Intel even built a special low-power processor for the original MacBook Air that no PC vendor could ever lay hands on.

"That was then, this is now," Weintraub observes, pointing to HP's new subcompact notebook with a Core i7 processor while Apple as yet has been unable to release even a Core i7 MacBook Pro. While there have been plenty of mainstream PC laptops with Core "i" series Intel chips available for months now, even the highest end MacBook Pros are still equipped with outdated Core 2 Duo silicon.

Weintraub speculates that several issues have led to this state of affairs.

Mac User Finds Windows 7 on an Intel i7 Laptop Very Usable

ApplePeels' blogger says that his former PC laptop running Vista nearly drove him to distraction with its angularities, while during that whole time his white Intel-based MacBook with OS X stood tall.

However, he complains, his wife needed a new laptop, and he was willing to buy her a new unibody MacBook, but only if Apple would refresh it with Intel's latest Core "i" series processors, noting that one of Apple's purported reasons for switching to Intel was so its customers wouldn't have to wait for the latest and greatest processor developments. So what's up with the Core "i" delay on the Mac?

When a Staples sale made it possible to get a 14" i5 laptop for his wife and a 15" i7 laptop for himself at a total cost a couple of hundred dollars less than the price of one 15" MacBook Pro with its outdated Core 2 Duo processor, he couldn't resist, paying under $1,500 (before taxes) for the two Windows 7 notebooks. He's found Windows 7 an immensely pleasing surprise - stable, fast, and Mac-like enough that his wife should encounter few problems using it. He concludes that the days when Mac laptops were great values seem to be over, anticipating that the new new HP Pavilion i7 laptop will handle his computing needs for a long time - and at a very reasonable price.

Apple Gains Industrial Design Patents for MacBook Pro & MacBook Air

Patently Apple reports that the US Patent and Trademark Office officially granted three industrial design patents for Apple covering the MacBook Pro, the MacBook Pro's glass trackpad, and the MacBook Air, and that, interestingly, Apple's patent clearly notes that the MacBook Air was or is going to have a black-finish bottom. Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, is listed in the design credits.

5 Laptop Stands Compared

Beatweek Magazine says:

"Whether you re looking to travel the world with it or to simply be able to take it with you from one room of your house to the next, more of you are buying laptop computers these days than desktops. And no matter if your laptop is a Mac or a PC, a seventeen inch monster or a sleek twelve incher, they all share the same traits to varying degrees: they run hotter to the touch than you d prefer, they sit lower on your desk than is optimal, and their keyboards are flatter than is ergonomic. And while there may not much you can do about this while you re on the road, the increasing number of you who are using a laptop as your only computer tells me that any number of you are spending hours each day with your laptop sitting in front of you on your desk which is what motivated me to investigate the current state of laptop stands.

"Having spent time with five different laptop stands from made of material including metal and plastic and wood, ranging from a svelte model that folds up to a fraction of an inch to an oversized design with built-in stereo speakers, I'm pleased to report that the prospects are generally good and the options are varied, although a good laptop stand won't necessarily come cheap."

MacBook Pro Running Low on RAM? Switch GPUs!

MacFixIt's Topher Kessler says that if you have one of the newer unibody MacBook Pros, you may encounter problems where the system seems to run out of available RAM more than expected, especially when running programs that can reserve large amounts of memory, such as Adobe Creative Suite and applications that use a lot of RAM, such as virtualization solutions. He suggests and discusses several workarounds, including switching from the integrated Nvidia 9400M graphics, which uses system memory, to the second GPU that most current MacBook Pro models have, which makes that memory available to programs.

Tech Trends

Netbooks Get the Job Done

The Huffington Post's Larry Magid notes that netbooks have been the rage for the last couple of years for very good reasons. These small laptops, which typically cost between $300 and $400, can do most things most people want to do with a laptop computer, yet they are cheaper, smaller, and lighter than typical laptops. Magid notes the irony is that smaller machines are now cheaper than bigger laptops, unlike a few years ago when users wanting a small notebook PC would pay a premium with it being common for machines under three or four pounds to cost two or three times as much as heavier notebook PCs. Netbooks have turned the cost/weight equation upside down.

7 Steps to Netbook Bliss with Windows 7

Ars Technica's Ari Allyn-Feuer notes that of the more than 50 million netbooks sold since the phenomenon's beginnings in late 2007, only a small fraction run Windows 7. He elucidates seven steps to optimizing your Windows 7 netbook for maximum performance.

Another Ultrathin MacBook Air Clone Surfaces in China

Chinese Tech site MIC reports that thin and cheap laptops are getting more common in Shenzhen's knockoff markets and reviews another great MacBook Air knockoff that looks like the MSI X340. It may be as thin as the MacBook Air and is a 13" ULV based system.

Sick of Atom netbooks with low performance on gaming and watching HD movies? This laptop is equipped with 1.2 GHz Intel ultra low voltage (ULV) processor and 1080p high definition video (including HDMI out) - a 13" laptop that weighs just 3 pounds with its 4-cell battery and comes with 1 GB of RAM, 160 GB or 250 GB hard drive, WiFi and Bluetooth, 3 USB ports, VGA & HDMI out, LAN, SD Card slot, and audio in/out in a slightly thicker form factor than the MacBook Air - but it's got Apple's look and feel, so who cares?

On the downside, the reviewer says the keyboard is mediocre and pretty ugly in comparison with the chiclet keyboard on MacBooks - but PC users won't mind, and at $2400 RMB (about $350), there have to be some compromises.

WD Introduces New My Passport Studio Portable Drives

PR: WD introduced its new My Passport Studio portable drives featuring the superfast FireWire 800 interface and a customizable e-label that's always visible, even when the drive is unplugged. Sporting a sleek and stylish design, the new high-performance My Passport Studio drives are formatted for Mac computers, compatible with Apple TimeMachine software, and feature automatic and continuous backup with WD SmartWare software, and 256-bit hardware-based encryption. Available now at select retailers and shopwd.com, the new My Passport Studio drives are offered in capacities of 320 GB, 500 GB and 640 GB.

imageviewer.jpeg

WD's My Passport Studio drives are designed for creative professionals and Mac enthusiasts. Their production and use of many large files require the fast transfers from computer to My Passport Studio drives that FireWire 800 provides. Professionals such as photographers also benefit from the e-labeling system to effectively organize their work.

The e-label smart display on the front of the My Passport drives can be changed as often as desired using the included WD SmartWare software. Users can easily create a label to personalize their drive or remind themselves of its contents. The e-label also shows available capacity and whether the drive is locked. Utilizing e-paper technology, the information on the display remains clearly visible, even when the drive is unplugged.

imageviewer-1.jpeg

According to research firm Parks Associates, the average US broadband household currently has over 120 GB of digital media and files which is projected to grow to over 1 TB of data by 2013.

"Many of our customers store their content on multiple external drives, making it difficult to know what content is on each drive," said Dale Pistilli, vice president of marketing of WD's Branded Products group. "The e-label smart display is an elegant and practical solution for organizing and keeping track of one's digital life and work. WD SmartWare software makes it easy for users to protect their valuable content with automatic and continuous backup and encryption."

The new My Passport Studio is fully compatible with Apple TimeMachine software for easy backup of your most important files. It also offers the option of the simple and intuitive WD SmartWare software, with automatic continuous backup and real-time visual interface, giving users a reassuring view of their backup as it happens. After the first backup, users' files are backed up automatically every time they change or add a file.

My Passport Studio drives also feature user-selected password protection combined with 256-bit hardware-based encryption, which scrambles files before they are stored. Typically found only on much more expensive drive systems, the encryption acts as a virtual padlock to keep users' data safe.

The new My Passport Studio drives are offered in capacities of 320 GB, 500 GB and 640 GB and have a 3-year limited warranty. My Passport Studio ultraportable drives are available now at select retailers and online at shopwd.com. MSRP for the My Passport Studio drives ranges from $149.99 to $199.99 depending on capacity.

Programmable Digitizer Pen Promotion Announced for Modbook

PR: Mac tablet manufacturer Axiotron has announced a new promotion for the company's award-winning Modbook solution, still the one and only Mac tablet computer. Under the promotion, every Modbook ships with an additional (second) digitizer pen set (a $50 value) that includes a programmable digitizer pen and replacement felt, pencil and studio pen tips. This promotion is valid while supplies last.

Silver_Right-W_02.jpeg

Embraced by creative professionals as an all-in-one portable production studio, the Modbook integrates Axiotron's tablet hardware and software technology, a Wacom Penabled digitizer and an Apple MacBook base system. Unlike Apple's iPad mobile digital device, the Modbook is a full-fledged tablet computer running the Mac OS X operating system. It is not a one-app-at-a-time media pad. Instead, the Modbook is a pen-enabled tablet computer system with 512 levels of pen pressure sensitivity on which creative applications like Adobe Photoshop or Toon Boom Storyboard Pro can be used to produce high-resolution, professional-quality creative deliverables.

axio1.jpg

With its fast processing speeds (2.13 GHz for Modbooks with new base systems), superior graphics (including an Nvidia GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor on many models), large 13.3" AnyView LCD display and durable ForceGlass screen, the Modbook is the most powerful and affordable slate-style tablet computer system on the market. A comprehensive side-by-side analysis of the leading tablet PCs is available at http://www.modbook.com/.

c6d27d8856.jpeg

Both the Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard operating systems are supported on the Modbook.

The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for complete Modbooks built with a customer-supplied Apple MacBook base system is $899 and the MSRP for complete Modbooks that include a new dealer-supplied 2.13 GHz base system is $1,849.

Individual Axiotron dealers offer complete Modbook systems based on preowned and refurbished base systems at price points below the $1,849 MSRP. Customers should check with individual dealers for details on these value-priced offers. (Modbook availability and specific system configurations may vary depending on dealer.) A complete list of Axiotron dealers in ten countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia is available at http://www.modbook.com/.

Many dealers also offer Modbooks based on MacBooks that are supplied by customers. At an MSRP of $899, this offer represents the most attractive price point available for students and other customers who would like to convert their MacBook into a tablet. Most non-unibody MacBook models are eligible for conversion.

Customers who purchase the Modbook get a ninety-day Modcare warranty on the entire system (including the MacBook base system, whose warranty is voided during the Modbook conversion). Extended warranty options are available through participating Axiotron dealers. Modbook servicing and repair are available through Axiotron's service provider network.

"Apple's introduction of the iPad has also brought renewed attention to the Modbook," says Axiotron CEO Andreas E. Haas. "The iPad, like the iPhone and iPod touch which share its operating system, offers a unique way of consuming media content. However, Modbook users require more: the full Mac OS X experience with multitasking applications and the Finder, desktop-like processing and graphics power, handwriting recognition, and the detail and control that only a pressure-sensitive pen-input system can provide. That's because Modbook users don't just consume media content - they create it! Only the Modbook offers creative professionals and general users a complete, Mac OS X-based tablet computer solution."

Logitech Announces Speaker Designed for Netbooks and Laptops

PR: Laptop and netbook computers are portable and powerful enough to do everything you love such as enjoying music, movies and video calls. But as computers have gotten smaller, audio quality has often been sacrificed.

To enhance the audio quality of your favorite tunes and movies, today Logitech announced the Logitech Laptop Speaker Z205 - a lightweight speaker with an easy-to-attach clip-on design that lets you pump up the volume wherever you take your laptop.

Z205TopMonitor.jpg

"When designing the Logitech Laptop Speaker Z205, we wanted to help people get better audio while enjoying their favorite shows or music without sacrificing portability. The Laptop Speaker Z205 is tiny enough to toss in your bag, but delivers big sound."

"While people love the portability of their laptop computer, they are often missing out on the immersive listening experience that external speakers provide," says Mark Schneider, vice president and general manager of Logitech's audio business unit. "When designing the Logitech Laptop Speaker Z205, we wanted to help people get better audio while enjoying their favorite shows or music without sacrificing portability. The Laptop Speaker Z205 is tiny enough to toss in your bag, but delivers big sound."

Whether you use a Mac or a Windows - based laptop or a netbook, the Logitech Laptop Speaker Z205 securely attaches to the top of most laptop screens. The Laptop Speaker Z205 is also small - approximately 1.35 inches thick and 2.5 inches tall - which means you'll always be able to take it with you. And the included carrying case protects your speaker while inside your briefcase or backpack.

Now, when you're watching your favorite show, listening to Pandora, or making a video call, you'll enjoy rich, full stereo sound thanks to two high-performance drivers, a built-in amplifier and an acoustically tuned enclosure. And you can easily adjust the volume as well as turn the speaker on and off using the buttons located on the top of the speaker. The included USB cable is all you need for power and audio - there's no need for an external power supply - so simply plug the Z205 into your computer and start enjoying your entertainment

The Logitech Laptop Speaker Z205 is expected to be available in the US and Europe for a suggested retail price of $39.99 beginning in March.
