The MacBook: Sleek and simple with Intel inside

Apple has just released the Intel Core Duo Powered MacBook running up to 2Ghz and priced competitive to many PC based notebook laptops. Specked out, the Macbook can have an 80G hard drive, a DVD-burner, up to 2GB of RAM, Bluetooth, wireless G ready, and (who would have thought), you can even get your MacBook in black.

So Apple has decided to dive feet first into the world of Intel, further blurring the lines between Macs and PCs. The thing is, I think that Apple can pull this trick off. More than any of the big PC makers, Apple knows how to design and market their product, and with an attractive price point the MacBook is destined to succeed.

The 3G iPhone

I’ve had 3G on my Nokia N95 enabled since I got it – which is about a month or two ago now. I was thus surprised to learn that the iPhone didn’t include this much faster way to connect to the Internet. Consequently, I wasn’t exactly surprised when Steve Jobs big announcement turned [...]
