Lightweight, portable MacBook Air enjoys popularity, as evidenced by the sales figures for this ultrathin laptop from Apple. It gained popularity mainly thanks to several innovations, such as the introduction of an 11" model on the market, which starts at €999, or the possibility of expanding the RAM up to 4 GB. The latest reports tell us that Apple sold up to 1 million in the last quarter of last year MacBookov Air, during the three-month period ending in December 2010. These figures suggest that MacBook Air became one of the most successful Macs ever released.
These numbers surpass even the wildest ideas that analysts came up with. Number sold MacBookov Air exceeded expectations by approximately 63%, which is enough to make analysts think twice. The popularity was definitely caused by several factors. The biggest attraction may seem to be the introduction of 11 and 13 inch models, or the use of SSD disks of different capacities, which also adjusted the price, which starts at €999 for the most basic model.
AppleInsider provided information that you MacBook Air cut up to one third of the market of entrepreneurs for whom it was typical until now MacBook Pro. He is with MacBookom Air now in businessstore divides approximately in a ratio of 2:1, with a larger share of course pre MacBook Pro. These numbers may still be affected because Apple recently introduced a new MacBook Pro, which is sure to shuffle the cards in this market. However, whether there will be big changes is questionable, it mainly depends on the type of work for which this one MacBook you plan to use. The durability and portability of the laptop is starting to become a trend, which is prioritized over performance. After all, you don't need to have a quad-core processor and 8 GB of RAM for iWork, it's enough for this job MacBook Air with its "weak" dual core.
Success MacBooku Air by Apple could also hint at the fact that konečene could remove the DVD drive from MacBookov and increase the battery, or use this space more efficiently. After all, when even one tretina she decided for a computer without a drive, why should it bother others? Of course, from this point of view, it is a minority, but it represents a trend that, as time goes on, more and more people can imagine life without, in my opinion, a useless DVD drive.
When he can apple in each box with MACBOOKAMA for a white external drive, that would solve everything ;) am I right?
But imagine how small it could be Mac mini without a cd/dvd drive WoW would become a pocket mac :)
It's still going to go like this, give it a while and in a while I'll only have iPhones/iPads number X, which we'll connect to the TV and keyboard at home and that's it! :D
source pls :) thanks
Increasing the battery in the MBpro is useless in my opinion, since 7h for one normal day inancThat's enough.
I have MBA 11 and those 5 hours are more than enough for me as an entrepreneur. in 3 months, I only drained the battery twice outside of kancit came, and that too only because I didn't let it charge the day before.
In my opinion, without DVD and 2,5 SATA, the MBP could become some kind of hybrid between an MBA and an act. MBP. Running on SSD as in MBA, maybe with a slightly bigger battery and 8-9 ha with less weight. Because the notebook should be mobile and mobility is about endurance and weight.
And maybe in the end only the combination of MBA and MBP would give rise to a new one MacBook-u
Apple is known for its radical solutions and the creation of one optimal model line would significantly reduce the range and could offer them a little cheaper, which would make them more attractive.
anyway, 98% of laptop users use them for the same and simple purpose.
We speed up video rendering by 50% using more powerful HW, but by using OpenCL with the same old HW by 500-1000%. E.g. Adobe Premier supports GPU rendering acceleration (like OpenCL) and performance has increased by 10x.
So the argument of professionals about the need for constantly better HW in MBP is not correct when SW is 5 years behind HW. Not to mention that, for example, Photoshop is still a single-threaded application, so why 4 cores???????
The future is in SW. In the way SW uses HW, because at the moment it's miserable
Michal: I see it that way too.
Ono Air could only remain 11″ and 13,15,17 could still be PRO with the same performanceoneto approach with weight and thinness Airu. Then remove the drive and install the SSD(air like), there is a lot of space, the battery would flatten and spread out to the side. Then the size could be 2,41 (existing) – 1,7 (for trackpadu) and it would certainly be easy.
