The new, Thunderbolting MacBook Airs just killed the white plastic MacBook forever, vanished from the Apple Store. Makes sense—with both costing a grand, who would pick up a laptop Apple stopped caring about years? But we’ll miss ye. [Apple]
New Apple products are expected to drop soon, but according to 9to5Mac’s sources, the bundle of presents won’t actually include Mac Pros after all. Turns out the part numbers they intercepted earlier this week referred to a white MacBook and Mac Mini.
So much going on in the rumour mill: In the midst of plenty of talk about a Macbook Air refresh, retailers are reporting that their stocks of the entry-level Macbook is running low. Is a new model on the horizon?
If your plastic unibody Macbook is having peeling rubber butt issues, you aren’t alone. Apple’s now actually fixing the problem for free – either through the Genius bar or a DIY kit. They’ll even refund any money you’ve spent before.
So you’re a prostitute, and your client won’t pony up the $US200 to pay you for whatever you just did. In fact, he freaks out and flees the seedy motel room. Your next move? Jack his $US2800 MacBook, obvi.
What is it that the unemployed need more than anything to get back on their feet? The Onion’s panel of experts (mostly) agrees: Apple products.
Apple uses multiple vendors in interchangeable ways to make a single product, but rarely if ever do performance specs change when this happens. Not so with the MacBook Air! The Toshiba bits that are inside my Air, from October, are actually slower than those in the latest batch, which house an SSD blade from Samsung. Grumble, grumble. [TUAW]
