Okay people, even if you're not an Apple fan boy, Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference started off with a HUGE bang. Announcements of the new MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion, and iOS 6, rocked the computer world. I just finished watching the keynote online, and some of the things I saw left me literally speechless. The new Maps app Apple has created for iOS is gorgeous, and has some features that you can't find on some maps on an actual PC. The main thing I wanna talk about though, is the new MacBook Pro.
The MacBook Pro is already arguably the best notebook in the consumer market today, and Apple just made it way, way better. It's thin, only 0.03in thinker than the current MacBook Air. It has a 720p HD FaceTime camera. It has up to 768GB of flash storage, which is faster than a traditional hard drive. Two USB 3.0 ports backwards compatible with USB 2.0, two Thunderbolt ports (2x faster than USB 3.0), and, for the first time ever on a MacBook, an HDMI port. Yes, this is the best MacBook Apple has ever made.
One more thing...

The MacBook has the Retina display!!! This is the highest-resolution notebook display ever on any computer. The new 15.4" display has over 5.1 MILLION pixels with a resolution of 2880 x 1800. Compare this to a 60" HDTV with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. That's 2.07 million pixels, less than HALF that of the MacBook Pro, in almost 4 times the space. This display is gorgeous, and in Final Cut Pro it allows you to watch your movie with pixel-for-pixel accuracy in the preview area. In Aperture, you will have control over your pictures like never before, and you have the ability to see every last detail of your photos with more clarity than ever before. This is the best display I've ever seen on anything. It takes things to a whole other level, and other companies are going to have a hard time trying to make anything close to it.

That's kinda crazy. Macs have always been beautiful, mostly just because the quality has been geared toward studios, but it really seems like they're trying to out-do themselves. Bravo Apple.
ReplyDeleteDear Katt Roberts,
ReplyDeleteI sincerely thank you for brig the first person to comment on this wonderful blog known as "_blog". Also I want to thank you for saying something I agree with, because if you we're the first commenter and I didn't like what you said, I would ignore your comment and instead congratulate the first person to say something I did like, leaving you with a lifetime of questions such as "What the hell JasonZak?" However that is neither here nor there, and I officially deem you the coolest person (other than about four or five other people) that will ever comment on my blog ever. I also invite you to write a post yourself, that I will host on this blog, and also maybe take all the credit for (but probably not) Thanks again and everyone have a nice day!
