Dell XPS M1210 Battery new-laptopbattery.com

The new form factor is great – it’s like a metal HP DV5. Metal always trumps plastic in durability. But more importantly aluminum is a good conductor of heat. Apple’s notebooks of the past eight years are extremely poor at handling heat. I base this on ownership of about five different aluminum and six plastic Apple notebooks since 2000. My lap can attest to the heat they generate – 55 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius is not uncommon.

A chipset update for the MacBook was overdue as Intel’s crusty old X3100 was no fun at all. Nvidia’s new solution seems to offer all the benefits of Intel’s new Montevina platform along with a better GPU. Better is the fact that all the chipset’s functionality is delivered in a single chip (versus the Intel alternative’s North and South bridges). This enables Apple to create a smaller mainboard and the benefit of this is a smaller form factor or more room for heat dissipating materials. In terms of performance, from what I have read this 9400m IGP is at least twice as powerful as Intel’s GMA 4500MHD often more-so. But in many games we are talking about the difference between not at all playable (4500MHD) versus barely playable (9400m).

If it seem like I am being harsh just remember that notebooks with very capable GPU’s like the 9600m and 9800m can be has for less than the MacBook. Despite the misleading and vague claims on Apple’s site this is by no means a gaming powerhouse. You are looking at a best case scenario 3DMark06 score of 2500 points. That is about half what is needed to make today’s games playable at decent settings. If games are important to you then why would you pay $1,300.00 to run games at 30 fps using SVGA resolution and low detail settings? Casual titles like Spore will run nicely.

It seems the T7350 2.0 GHz CPU is being used on the base model and this is a Penryn core with 1066 FSB – in other words the latest and greatest mid-range mobile CPU. This is pretty good, but not worth paying a premium when cheaper processors work just as well. Many better equipped notebooks in this same price range have the faster P8400 chip.

No Blu-Ray is a shame, but without HDMI or a 1080P screen how much do you really need it? Dell offers lots of Blu-Ray equipped models such as the Inspiron 1525 for much less money than the MacBook.

So far this spec sheet is a long list of “meh.” The true outrage is the skimpy RAM and storage.

Equipping a premium notebook with 2 GB of RAM is unforgivable in 2008. Even the budget notebooks in the $599 price range have 4 GB of DDR2 these days. And Gateway provides 4 GB of DDR3 in a much more powerful gaming notebook that routinely sells for less than the base MacBook.

Likewise, the tiny 160 GB HDD is pathetic at this price point. Sure, a 320 GB HDD can be bought for less than $100 these days but why should you have to do this? A $1,300 notebook should have a 320 GB HDD standard.

The MacBook costs twice as much as a Windows notebook pitched at the same home user/student market. What do I mean when I say Windows notebook? I am thinking of notebooks from HP, Dell, Acer, Gateway, and Toshiba with 14″ screens, T5750 CPU at 2 GHz, 4 GB RAM and 320 GB HDD that can easily be had for $600-650 on any given weekend.

Sure, the average consumer Windows machine is not as solid – the chassis materials are just plastic. But it has twice the RAM and twice the HDD. To most users, even Apple lovers like me, the extra RAM and HDD are more important than a slightly faster CPU and new chipset platform. Take a look at the MacBook versus a Dell Inspiron 13 (keeping in mind that even cheaper deals are out there).Acer Laptop Battery & Adapter Online Shopping Mall - new-laptopbattery.com http://www.new-laptopbattery.com/acer.html

You folks are smart. You know the Mac has higher FSB, more level two cache, faster (although still weak) IGP and an LED backlight. But how important are those things to you? Are they worth $700? Not to most conusmers.

In these times a product with same or more functionality that also allows me to keep $700 in the bank is probably going to win 9 out of 10 times. But Apple is happy (and profitable) with its 5-10% share so who am I to judge?

Is hybrid SLI (now confirmed to be absent) supposed to blind me to the fact that similarly spec’ed machines can be had from all of Apple’s rivals for half the price? Has no one noticed that except for the 9600M GT GPU the specification of this Pro machine is pretty darn close to the Macbook?

Despite its smaller frame the iPhone 5 will offer a 4-inch display, with an increased 1135 x 640 resolution and 326 ppi. The iPhone will also offer increased performance running on iOS 6 and an A6 processor boasting twice the CPU speed and twice the graphics performance of the iPhone 4sS. During the event, Apple stated literally everything you do on iPhone 5 will be almost twice as fast the iPhone 4S.

In addition to being more powerful, the A6 processor is going to be smaller and more energy efficient than its predecessor, which plays a large part in the iPhone 5’s impressive battery life. Today Apple announced that the new handset will offer increased battery life, estimating around 8 hours of web browsing on LTE, 10 on Wi-Fi, 10 hours of video or 40 hours of music playback.

The new smartphone will also house an 8 megapixel camera that will offer 1080p video capture, dynamic low-light mode and a 40% image capture. Apple has also introduced a new panoramic mode, not to mention that the faster A6 processor will help greatly reduce noise in pictures.

The iPhone 5 is surely set to be an impressive device that will offer excellent web browsing and full social networking functionality. It almost raises the question: do casual users still need notebooks? While many of us look to our notebooks to run much more intensive applications, those who merely surf the web and chat with their friends via Facebook, may come to find devices like the iPhone 5 a suitable replacement for the portable PCs.
