"Back to the Mac" - Apple Keynote heute um 19:00 (OS X 10.7, MacBook Updates?)

Zitat von Hansmaulwurf

Was ist genau für dich "echter Multicore Support und 64 Bit" ?

zum Beispiel wenn zumindest die PRO-Apps von Apple davon profitieren... die Theorie zählt für mich nicht wenn FCP bei ner Aufgabe wie SmoothCam auf 200% CPU-Auslastung dahin dümpelt auf einer 8-12 Core Maschine, und beim Compressor kann man von voller CPU/Core-Auslastung auch nur träumen... der Finder ist beispielsweise bei Operationen wie Dateikomprimierung nur single-threaded. Das ist für mich einfach keine konsequente Umsetzung - sorry! Mag sein, dass da bei 3rd Party Software die Entwickler selbst schuld sind (gibt auch Ausnahmen wie NUKE) aber ich sehe nicht wo Apple mit gutem Beispiel voran geht - bei den Pro-Apps scheinen sie zumindest kaum Wert darauf zu legen in letzter Zeit.

New MacBook Air and Revolutionary Mac OS X Feature on Wednesday?

As we approach Apple's "Back to the Mac" media event on Wednesday, October 20th, rumors are ramping up about what Apple is expected to introduce.
(...)
DigiTimes also specified that the new MacBook Air would use one of Intel's Ultra Low Voltage processors. While Intel offers multiple "Ultra Low Voltage" (ULV) Core 2 Duo processors, the Core i7 ULV seems the most likely candidate.
(...)
Intel also offers Core i3 and Core i5 ULV chips but those top out at only 1.2GHz. One analyst also predicted that the new MacBook Air would come in two models, and that based on high unit projections, the new Airs were likely to come in at a lower starting price. In fact, CNet has since described the starting price as "much lower" then the current $1499 entry level.

Early rumors suggested that Apple might have introduced 10.7 earlier this year, but it seems the company's resources were focused on iOS at the time. The only real hint we've had at 10.7 was a very intriguing job description from July in which Apple was looking for someone to focus on a "revolutionary new feature" for Mac OS X:

-- Are you looking to help create something totally new? Something that has never been done before and will truly amaze everyone? Are you excited by the prospect that what you helped create would be used every day by millions of Apple customers? Then come and work on with the Mac OS X software engineering team to help build a new and revolutionary feature for Mac OS X. --

The language of the job description seemed much more specific than Apple's usual recruitment language.

Cult of Mac weighs in with claims from a new source regarding the new MacBook Air that has been receiving considerable attention in the days leading up to Apple's media event on Wednesday. The new report corroborates many of the claims coming from other sources, but also offers a few new details on what we might expect in the new machine.

- Battery life rumored to be 8-10 hours, up from 5 in the current MacBook Air.
- Thinner and lighter form factor with fewer curves.
- Two USB ports, SD card slot, straight-style MagSafe, Mini DisplayPort.
- Base model with 2 GB of RAM, but upgradeable. SSD also upgradeable.
- NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics.
- Unconfirmed CPU claims of 2.1 GHz and 2.4 GHz options, but no claim of a specific processor family is offered.
- Suggestion of $999 for 11.6-inch model and $1100 for the 13.3-inch model, but Cult of Mac believes something like $1100/$1400 to be more likely.

$999 fuer die 11.6in Version klingt sehr verlockend. Mal schauen was dann wirklich drinnen stecken wird.

ich denk auch das die preise eher wunschdenken sind.

wuensch mir ein mbp 13" mit Core i5.
der Rest is ma Wurscht

das wäre dann ein würdiger 12" pb nachfolger auf den ich und viele andere seit x jahren warten, ja.

den zweiten usb port wird man auch brauchen wenn sie noch immer kein wwan einbauen.
