Apple Notebooks

Apple notebooks have become quite an appealing option for most portable computer users. The features that these devices offer are more and more up to regular and professional users’ tastes and interests. They are bought due to such characteristics as weight, screen size, processor, width and mobility which are but some of the many that Apple presents and customers look for.

Apple notebooks have come a long way beginning with 1989, that is twenty years ago, when their first models were viewed almost as failures in terms of technology. To begin with, the first model of Apple notebooks – the Macintosh Portable – was not light at all. It weighed about sixteen pounds, had a 9.8” matrix screen and it was pretty large in size. It came with a pre-installed operating system and was one of the first models ever to offer that.

Despite the drawbacks that it had, it still provided something that today’s portable computers do not have: battery length of up to ten hours before recharge was needed. Yet, it needed as much power when in use as it did when in sleep mode, which again was presented as a disadvantage. This model cost 6,500 dollars at that time, it had a processing unit of 16 MHz, 1 MB RAM, 256 KB ROM, and so on. The features, of course, are pretty outdated, most likely someone would have a model of this device only as a collection piece.

On the other hand, there is the latest model of Apple notebooks, the MacBook Pro released in October last year (2008). It utterly surprises with its lightweight and high portability level. The extremely thin aspect has been rendered by the team of engineers who have decided to create a new notebook relying on the unibody, one piece of carved aluminum instead of several smaller pieces that need to be assembled. These Apple notebooks also offer a 15-inch display which is back-lit by a LED impressing with the brightness that it renders to the user’s eye.

As far as graphics is concerned, the Apple team are proud to say that this new notebook is the best they can offer to game players and not only; users can rely on the integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400M processor for every day use or change to the other one, the NVIDIA 9600M GT, faster and more precise in terms of graphics for passionate game-playing. All in all, the new Apple notebooks are quite a breakthrough in terms of many characteristics and this new model is one of the best choices so far offered for mobile professionals and more.
