The next version of Mac OS X: lion?
If an invitation from Apple in your in box, you can be two things sure: many reporters are scrambling to buy airline tickets and a flurry of articles and blog posts with everyone's best guesses about what to unveil Apple nonstop.
The loads itself are for information like frames from the Zapruder film, often unintentionally hilarious extreme analyzed.In this case a silver is cut Apple logo partly from a background that looks like the same aluminum of MacBooks are made.Peeking out from the background is a large cat may be a lion. stamp the metallic background back is the phrase "in the Mac" this will be followed by parking directions and the following description:
Come, see what's new for Mac on October 20, including a sneak peek of the next major release of Mac OS X.
The scant evidence be taken into account together with our in-depth knowledge of which, that Apple products and components for an update is due, we present what we see on 20 more educated guesses about. Feel free at home to play and submit your own predictions in the comments below.
New MacBook Air
If it is a product that scream positive for an update, it is Apple's cult favorite ultra thin 13-inch laptop. except for a few minor component updates it is essentially the same machine as originally in 2008 eingeführt.Zur same time Apple has never all real interest in the air beyond his small but dedicated fan base pitching shown; in the era of the sub$ 500 laptops and tablets, a high end-status-symbol machine which really go be a top priority? Another rumor is gaining traction a smaller 11-inch version of the air.
Our prediction: The timing is right, so money-but less so for the 11-inch version.
Intel Core i3 in the 13-inch MacBook
Apple's latest MacBook Pro updated last April to 13 exactly six months ago. Just in time for a spec update of the company. The MacBook Pro 15 and 17-inch models featured new core i5 and i7 processors, but the 13-inch remained with a core 2 Duo CPU and built-in NVIDIA video card updated.This popular 13-inch Pro seems ripe for a change.Distinct to keep, why do not contain the lineup an Intel Core i3 has seen yet at this point in a Mac notebook?Couple, that with Apple's long-life batteries, and integrated, it seems like a winning combination that is more likely and more convenient than a MacBook Air.
Our prediction:Very likely.
Next OS X update
Bearing in mind that an Apple logo and a lion hidden is characterized Apple Mac event after it, there is no doubt that eventually a new cat name version of OS X is on the Weg.Lion would (as we it now call) a welcome upgrade for Mac users who may feel amid all the talk of iOS ignore werden.Wahrscheinlichste scenario: the new OS newly announced Mac buyers get free and everyone else will be able to buy acquire it sometime before Thanksgiving.We could see better integration between OS X and iOS features? an APP store for the Mac?We can always hope.
Our prediction:A safe bet (it explicitly says so in the store).
New NVIDIA GPUs
Apple has already strong graphics in its MacBooks, but NVIDIA's new midrange and high-end GPUs end could appear in the new MacBook Pro if there is a specifications update. While Apple often a generation behind for stability to stay happy, you would be welcome additions in the higher areas of the MacBook Pro 15 and 17-Inchers.
Our prediction:Even money.
The standard wish list: Blu-ray, SD card slots on the line, HDMI
The Apple observer for ages provided you think this prediction packs in all the little things haben.Damit MacBook designers are unmoved by consumer demand, contains note that it took years for all MacBook contain a SD slot (now is available in the Pro models) and the Mac mini HDMI as his main video output.
Our prediction:Slot for SD cards on MacBook 13-inch seems like a smart bet; the others are wishful thinking for now.
