The New Mac Mini from Apple

I am not a MAC user but everytime Apple release their computer products, I always got curious because of how they fit all those specs inside a small package, unlike the PCs where you got a huge casing.

Anyway, Apple company just released their new version of Mac Mini and is available now at Apple store.

This new mini is powered by a a 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 or 2.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 processor, with a superfast 1066MHz frontside bus and 3MB of L2 cache which provides the tiny device with a welcomed performance boost and 2x the performance of the previous generation.

It is mini and you can Fit this for any desk. Just 7.7 inches square and 1.4 inches thin, who wouldn’t love to have this place in their desk? Of course aside from the fact that it is fast because of its superfast processor so it can save you time to do your job, it also save you space on your desk.

Upgrade with ease. Because a removable panel lets you add memory with a twist. Now featuring OS X Lion. The world's most advanced desktop operating system. You can bring on the big screen by connecting the Mac mini to your HDTV with a single HDMI cable.

It is also equipped with the latest 802.11n wireless technology designed to automatically connect to your Wi-Fi network. At the back there is also a built in SD card slot together with Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, Mini Display port, 4 x USB 2.0 Ports, Firewire 800 and audio in and out, and as expected the Mac Mini is equipped with a Thunderbolt port offering two 10-Gbps channels for data transfer.

Wow! All those things can be fit on this mini computer gadget! Not only that… because it also includes Turbo Boost 2.0 for intensive application use which increases the clock speed up to 3.4GHz together with Hyper-Threading which lets each core run two threads, so OS X multitasks even more efficiently.

Cisco Cius: Made for Business People and not for ANGRY BIRD Gamers

So here comes a newly launched tablet, the Cisco Cius. Many would say Cisco is already 40 years late to join in the arena of tablet wars. But I would say, they are just at the right time. If they were late then why would they praise HP TouchPad that was just launched recently and I never heard anyone say they are too late?

Anyway, Cisco Cius was made for business people and not for people who just want to buy a tablet and play ANGRY BIRD and/or brag to their friends about their new cool gadget.

The New HP webOS-based TouchPad

Hewlett-Packard or HP's webOS-based TouchPad is creating buzz since it was launched. This is really the time of the tablets since almost all the brands are competing on creating the best tablet in the market today.

HP Touchpad has been anticipated since the company bought the Palm last year (2010) for $1.2 Billion. We have been waiting for this since then and finally they just launched their first tablet to compete the world’s overrated Apple Tablet, the iPad. Well, I have nothing against the iPad but I just can’t comprehend why people are going crazy everytime Apple launches a new product in the market.

Anyway, let’s get back to HP Touchpad.


The tagline says: Works like nothing else. But I don’t really think it works like nothing else, though this one make an impression for its fast performance and user-friendly interface. The brilliant 9.7-inch, 1,024-by-768-pixel touch-screen LCD makes it best for videos and photos. The ability to multitask like a champion of multitasking is powerful, plus the ability to do wireless printing to compatible HP printers makes it perfect for busy workers like you, and it is also great to wind down after your busy job because it has more than 300 of apps from the App Catalog, but according to their ads it says thousands.

Good for social networking sites such as Facebook, I think every brand have Facebook to consider everytime they make a new gadget nowadays, so that one is really expected because buyers will whine about it if there’s no application for their beloved FB.

No rear-facing camera or video-recording capabilities – Well, this is a touchpad and not a video recording or photography gadget, why should I complain if it has nothing of it. But well, I would be happy if there’s rear camera, though not necessarily because the front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera suits for the gadget everytime you are chatting with somebody that needs to see your face or your background. There’s no need to demand for a rear camera because it would be weird for me to take pictures at concerts or along the street with the HP Touchpad.

With solid hardware and a user-friendly operating system based around multitasking and intuitive organization, what else can you ask for in a tablet like HP Touchpad that packs 16 or 32GB of internal storage for $499 and $599, respectively? What’s more awesome is that it runs by Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core APQ8060 1.2GHz processor. There’s a Bluetooth keyboard available, along with a case and a touchstone charger that lets you charge the TouchPad without connecting a single cable.

One thing I can say… “Android Honeycomb tablet manufacturer, what can you say with this one, huh?”
