So now the Macbook Pro battery lasts 8 hours and can have more charges in its life than any other battery. That is very impressive. It's greener too, and does not add any weight! The thing I am skeptical about though is that they got 40% more room for the battery by taking away the stuff that makes it removable. Now it's just in your computer, and you can't take it out yourself to replace it. Well, it'd be a challenge. Other than that, great. Saves energy, and still the same weight. That is definitely ground breaking.
And iLife. Finally it sounds like the brought back the effects to iMovie. Our last version had nothing but time editing and titles. I was so pissed about that that I downloaded a fake version of the old iMovie that worked even better than the real thing had in past OS generations. I guess it was to get more people buying the Final Cut Pro which soo much, that it is only worth it if you are actually making movies. So I am glad that's back.
iWork. Now it's like Google Docs I have heard. Still haven't read into it, but it sounds like it's going to the Cloud. Pretty cool, but I wonder if you can still hardcopy your work to the physical hard drive.
And where is our new Mac Mini? I was hoping for a cheaper version, or a larger hard drive version. And there were also hot rumors about a laptop series that was way more affordable. Unlikely, knowing Apple, but really, that would buy in a lot more people. All my friends that don't have Macs say it's because they are so expensive.--- Expensive, but worth the quality.
And since I lost my iPod on the slopes of White Pass, I was really really hoping that they would have a little iPod update for the Shuffle or Nano. I need one to get me through to next October when my Verizon contract is up and I can buy an iPhone.
