What are you going to get from Apple this year? Apple's Latest Updates by rafomac

Apple made some huge announcements today. The first of this kind after the keynote legend , Steve Jobs , passed away. Today’s keynote presentations were pretty big for Tim Cook and team at Apple. It signified a major product series launch. It defines the future of Apple in a way. Though I missed the charisma Steve had  when he delivered keynotes for the core products, If he was alive, he would’ve proudly told us how he was able to leverage the crucial cash balance to outbalance the most important application in  iPhones and iPads, the Maps.





display
Apple has introduced a series of new products at the WWDC’12 keynote series , starting off a week of developer presentations and tutorials and so on. Though it was very much costlier than the earlier WWDC’s , the attendance was full .The tickets to WWDC was sold out in hours. This is remarkable considering that the key person who was the reason for seats to get filled is no more in this world. But people certainly believe that Apple is in good hands. And it did pay off, at least this year it did.
So , I will round-up the major announcements made up at the WWDC ,

iOS 6

iOS 6 was almost certainly expected out of this year’s WWDC as it has become a tradition , as Scott Forstall rightly pointed out during his keynote  of iOS6,  for Apple to release a new version of the OS at WWDC . iOS6 has vastly improved , both feature-wise and usability wise.
Key features noted are :


  • A more advanced Siri , who can respond to personalized queries about sports , actresses and literally everything under the sun now.  Tight integration with feed providers like Rotten Tomatoes for Movies , Yelp for Restaurant ratings and other content providers have enabled this rich functionality addition to Siri.siri_gallery_restaurants
  • Chinese support . To write , to read and to socialize. iOS6 has features for interaction in Mandarin  through Haiku , Baidu and other popular Chinese websites.more_china

  • Facebook integration  . A single sign on  ( just like Twitter integration in iOS5 ) , will enable you to update and post from almost all the apps with unlimited combinations to your friends.facebook_gallery_contacts
  • Lost & Found feature lets you display your backup phone number on the lock screen by triggering it through your Mac or another phone number  when you lose your phone. The finder can just click on it and call you right away.more_fmip
  • Improved Safari – with native support to Chinese , Unified search bar ( Much like Omnibox
  • in Google Chrome ).
  • Voice mail shortcuts on the Phone screen – A feature slightly ripped off from Android , I must say. But they have improved on it . As usual !.   It now features a temporary whitelisting when a caller calls you ( or nags you ) multiple times, odds are that it will be important.
  • phone_gallery_reply_1phone_gallery_reply_2phone_gallery_disturb_2

 

 

 

 

 



Maps

This was the most anticipated feature of all. Maybe even more than the iOS6 as a whole. This position taken by Apple seriously threatens the revenue generation of Google and their data collection as well. Apple has decided to part their ways with Google on the Maps , mainly owing to the fact that they didn’t like Google collecting location details of all Apple devices  when they themselves had huge amount of applications of it.
Rightly so , Apple has implemented a lot of cool and useful features into their own version of Maps.
  • Turn by Turn Navigation  on most cities. Ofcourse , Siri will be guiding you. Who else do you expect to guide you properly.  maps_gallery_turnbyturn_2
  • FlyOver – Coolest feature you would ever want in a Maps application, But Google has already managed to do a similar data usage on their new version of Maps last week itself. Flyover takes you through a 3D flyover over select cities , by utilizing the vector models of the cities collected by Apple.maps_gallery_flyover

 

MacBook Pro

While they mostly updated the technical specs alone on their MacBook Air line up, Apple has whipped up a useful and flashy move on the MacBook Pro lineup. For starters , they killed off the 13” and 17” Macbook Pro’s . Then they decided to remodel the entire philosophy behind MacBook, not just the physical form.
As a result, We got this :gallery4_2256
It’s certainly thinner , sleek and elegantly beautiful. More than the MacBook Air  in a certain way. Tightly packed aluminium body with the display crafted into the unibody structure . Only Apple can make a win-win with this kind of innovation.
They have added some extras onto this :
  • USB 3.0
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • Thunderbolt ports
  • HDMI
  • Nvidia GT 650 M – a welcome addition to the Mac Line-up.
  • 8 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3L RAM
They have removed certain features as well :
  • Optical Drive
  • Magnetic Hard Disk
  • Boring Old Display
  • Noisy Fan
The key feature of the new MacBook Pro line up is it’s elegant display. Crafted into the aluminum and insanely thin. But with a whopping resolution of 2880×1800 pixels. Oh yeah, that’s a huge amount of pixels to be on a 15.4” screen. And Apple is calling it , the Retina Display . Yes, MacBook is getting it finally!.
Also , it has a 256 GB / 512 GB Flash storage. Apple decided to finally respond to a decade old problem of slow I/O devices. They chucked the magnetic hard drives. And they decided to top it off by removing the optical drive as well. Remember , Apple removed FDD’s from the iMacs , causing it to become obsolete . This will repeat again , I’m sure of that.gallery3_2256

Are you going to buy a Laptop?

Now a day’s most of the people those who are using desktop computers are moving to Laptop. Laptops are more expensive than the desktop computer, so we have to choice the best Laptop while purchasing. So we people should have a knowledge about the Laptop, if we does not have the knowledge about Laptop we cannot choice the correct Laptops.


So let’s see what are the things to consider when purchasing a Laptop?

First of all we should decide the brand of the Laptop which we are going to purchase. To buy the best brand, choice any one of the brand from the below given brands.
SONY
HP
DELL
SAMSUNG
THOSHIBA
LENOVA
ACER
Then, from the selected Laptop brand we should consider the following things.

LAPTOP CONFIGURATION


Processor

Processor is a very important chip in the Laptop mother board. The best processor in the present market is Intel Core i7. After this Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i3 are next best processor. If you’re ready to purchase an expensive Laptop, first of all choice a best brand and then choice the one of the given below processor.
Intel Core i7
Intel Core i5
Intel Core i3

If you decide to purchase a cheaper Laptop than the above mentioned, then you can choice either one of the processor.
Intel Core 2 Duo
Intel Dual Core

If you select the lower quality processor than the above mentioned processors, it’s not suitable for the latest technology.
Next we should consider on Processor Speed. 1.60 GHz Speed and 2.0 GHz Speed processors are very slow. So choose 2.8 GHz speed or higher than this.

RAM

Next we should concentrate on RAM size. RAM size is responsible for computer speed, when we run more than 1 program at a time the computer will get slow. So if we want to run latest advanced programs, we should at least use 2GB RAM. If we have more than 2GB RAM your computer will have more speed.
Mostly latest laptop comes with DDR2 RAM, but DDR3 RAM is better than DDR2 RAM. 
So if you wish, you can replace DDR2 RAM to DDR3 RAM. 






HARD DISK
The Laptop which we are going to purchase should have at least a Hard-disk with capacity of 320GB. Because if we want to use the latest advanced software like Photoshop, CorelDraw we need at least 320GB Hard-disk. To save our data and files, we need this much of Hard-disk capacity. When selecting a Hard-disk, we must consider on Hard-disk Speed also.



The following Hard-disk Speeds are better to use in latest Laptop.
SPEED 7200RPM
SPEED 5400RPM
If your Hard-disk speed is less than above mention speed, select one of the Hard-disk from above mentioned.



DVD DRIVE
If you’re buying a branded Laptop you don’t want to care a lot about DVD drive. Because mostly branded Laptop comes with suitable DVD drive.


GRAPHIC CARD
When purchasing a Laptop the next important thing to consider is Graphic Card. It’s important because if you’re using Photoshop, CorelDraw, playing a video game or if you wish to watch HD Videos in your Laptop, you should have quality Graphic card. 


When you select a Graphic Card another important thing to consider is whether it is “Dedicated Graphic Card” or “Integrated Graphic Card”. 
“Dedicated Graphic Card” is much better than “Integrated Graphic Card”. If “Dedicated Graphic Card” is fixed in your Laptop, while playing high quality games the Laptop wont get slow.



OPERATING SYSTEM
Next select the Operating System for your Laptop. In the latest Laptops, mostly Windows 7 installed as operating system. But Windows 7 has different versions.

Windows 7 Ultimate
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Home premium
Windows 7 Home basic
Windows 7 Starter version



Select one of the above mentioned version. But 
“Windows 7 Ultimate” and 
“Windows 7 Professional” are the best, so choice either one of this.

Mostly latest laptop comes with Webcam, Mike but once again check whether these are available or not in laptop. And also check HDMI port, Memory card slot, Front mike, etc...
