New MacBook Airs & MacPros Coming Today?

New MacBook Airs & MacPros Coming Today?

If the waning (and some non-existent) inventory in the Apple retail sales channels is any subtle indication that new MacBook Airs are coming, then leaked part numbers is sure to confirm the rumours. As reported by 9to5 Mac, MacPros are expected to receive an update as well. From the part numbers below, MacBook Air will come in four configurations – two for 11″ and two for 13″ models. Intel’s all-new Sandy Bridge architecture and Thunderbolt I/O are expected to be integrated in the update.

Apple’s traditional “Good, Better, Best” configurations apply to the slew of new MacPros, with a sole config for a MacPro Server. The MacPro has not been updated since July 2010. The current line-up of MacPro desktops do not have the high-speed Thunderbolt I/O and this cannot be added on as a whole new motherboard architecture is required. Intel is scheduled to release their next-generation Xeon processors codenamed Romley, which are based on the Sandy Bridge architecture and this is expected to be ones used in the update.

I personally can’t wait for the new MacBook Airs. It’s about time to put a nail into my aging, over-the-hill Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and upgrade! Watch for updates later today!

The Apple Store in Malaysia! We’ve definitely waiting long enough for this. And what a time to open one with the economic crisis looming and real. But heck, what’s a better way to spur consumer spending right? Whatever it is, Apple, it’s going to be the Funnest Christmas ever. Oh, it’s also available in Bahasa Malaysia. Whoppeee!

iPhone 3G for USD199? You gotta be kidding me!

How about that? Twice as fast and at half the price! Amazing, amazing value for money. The new iPhone trounces the old with HSDPA and GPS (unfortunately retains the crap 2.0MP camera). No second camera for video calls, as rumoured which is a bummer. But heck, USD199 with contract and available in July in over 70 countries.

Question is, why isn’t Malaysia on the list? Tiny neighbours Singapore are getting theirs on July 11. Maxis, hello???

Bottomline is, this is gonna blow the entire market away. Hardware-wise it isn’t a whole new reinvented iPhone, in fact it looks pretty much the same. With the iPhone 2.0 Software built-in, there are plenty of new extras. Fact is, Apple is trying to aggressively grow the market with the price point and bloody hell, I think it’s gonna work.

Five for me, please Steve. Thanks.
