in less than two months we will unwrap under the Christmas tree every imaginable gifts and our closest friends. If you are planning to give to someone this Christmas electronics or computer-even alone with an apple as its logo, be sure to take notice. Offer Apple products it develops a slightly different way than other manufacturers and purchase certain products already * do not be advantageous, and sometimes is rather inconvenient.
* Update on upcoming Apple products, of course, is silent, the Board shall be based on estimates of average cycles products can not therefore determine with absolute precision, so what would be a month and a half for Christmas is actually in the air and Steve's head.
Today's article will, therefore, the current lineup of Apple. Over the past few weeks, we saw several innovations that may be in many respects quite controversial, because I dared to write a little guide, which I would like to describe why buy or not buy Apple's electronics. I do not want to sound like a negative article, or even criticism as biased against the company, however, I would like to save as many people as possible disappointment when after 14 days of the purchase price for the same laptop new model comes out with 2 more power and five new properties. So much for the introduction, now to the actual article!
iPod
year's generation of media players has undergone great development and a significant step forward. The current series finally dropped the Classic model, which was equipped with a hard disk and therefore it was profiting from the very large capacity player. As one of the whole did not produce a number of updates and personally I would not with her in the future too count. So if you do not need this box to carry around 40,000 songs, which can hold 160GB models, there is no reason to prefer this device over other models with more flash memory and built-lasting batteries.
iPod Classic Last updated iPod Classic was a year ago in September, when is the next and whether we will be nobody knows. I do not recommend buying.
iPod Nano: Nano lived to see next-generation market is still only 2 months. Although it has undergone many substantial changes, its purchase is recommended to ease.
iPod Touch: Touch took over many functions and capabilities of the iPhone functionality keeps pace with IP4 only does GSM/3G modules and GPS. Purchase is recommended.
iPod shuffle: smallest and cheapest shuffle lived to see minor adjustments and re-design was enhanced with convenient navigation buttons. The cycle for these same three iPods, so I will not hesitate to recommend buying it.
iPhone iPhone is one phone for the company. The current fourth generation is sold in 2 versions, which differ only by the amount of memory, other features (including battery) remain the same for 16 gigabytes and 32 gigabytes variant. Latest iPhone up for sale came in June, the Czech market but at the end of August. Christmas season can be considered as half of the cycle of existence for the world market in the Czech with the iPhone I counted 5 before the turn of August and September 2011, under the Christmas tree So IP4 not seem very bad choice, but even the happiest. About
IP4 still revolves problems with the white version - Apple has recently announced that the white iPhone 4 has been postponed until next spring. This disproves the speculation about an early entry (early 2011), fifth-generation apple phone.
current iPhone 4 near mid-cycle and even though I personally it did not issue at Christmas, people who look in the new phone at Christmas time would be nevyvracel.
Cinema Display, and Xserve
Apple recently updated its range of professional (and very expensive) monitors. In late July removed from the 30 "and 24" LED Cinema Display, and offering an 27 "version, which is now the only option that can be taken.
Cinema Display: There is plenty to choose from - do no buy this monitor, if you can afford ($ 999.00 per screen for most people really), I would recommend buying.
Xserve: With this product, I personal experience, but it is a server solution presented by Apple's all clear. I do not know how many people would be at a price starting at three thousand dollars meant to treat the tree, but if you're one of those few individuals who have to buy you to disprove it. The current version is on the market since April 2009 and no longer update the plan. Apple Xserve developments completed or in the future as a cheaper solution will offer a Mac Mini in the server edition or the more powerful Mac Pro.
Desktop Solutions
the field of desktop Macs, the situation is quite simple. IMacs and Mac Mini product cycle have averaged around 250 and 230 days. The current Mac mini models are on the market since mid-June - the current generation has enjoyed a number of changes - less design, improved interior layout now includes built-in power, added SD cards, etc. Apple Computer in a beautiful flat screen (ie iMac) was staged new lineup at end-July. At first glance, improvements are seen for longer and demanding work for the new digest will be appreciated.
iMac and Mac mini: not need to worry about the purchase consideration, both models are roughly in the middle of its product cycle, so if you are considering a nice computer at the table, some new models of desktop Macs "ocheckujte.
Mac Pro: This desktop ripper asphalt for several years, changing only the internal site. Just as the iMac lived to see the bowels of the new end of July and now offers the possibility of placing up to two 6-core processors and 32GB of memory. Performance is plentiful and Apple has some time in professional computer work calm. If you buy, do not hesitate!
Laptops Apple
We got about the most controversial areas of electronics apple. MacBooks are the most complicated area of \u200b\u200bselection - Apple offers basic (plastic) MacBook white in one configuration, two configurations of 13 "Macbook Pro, three configurations of 15" models (custom configurable) and other three configurations of 17 "version (custom configurable). For this reason, we waited to see on October 20, 11.6" and 13.3 "Macbook Air models (two configurations for each size). laptops Apple is really on offer and although each option has a MacBook its purpose, a new and truly sophisticated features of the new MacBook Air shows the current number of MB in a bad light - one that many have professional merit.
jedenáctipalcového base model MB Air begins at the same price of $ 999.00 as a basic white MacBook. However, there are several key features that customers in both target groups undermine the legs of choice. When comparing MBA and MBW is necessary to consider the following:
eleven or thirteen plastic Air
MB White will only applications faster due to faster processor. Both are a series of Core 2 Duo, nVidia 320M video card is the same for both models and 2GB of RAM as well. The benefit of an MBA has a very fast SSD and that most operations (Start applications, OS, uspávání / Snooze) dramatically accelerates. Compared MBW turn lose Superdrive. Invoking a laptop ergonomics třináctipalcového jedenáctipalcovému comparison is nonsense. Both offer a full keyboard and a large glass trackpad. The keyboard on the MBA or MBW is not illuminated. The size of the fight can not be ignored or display. Although it is 13.3 more than 11.6 inches, jedenáctipalcový display with a resolution of 1366x768 points offering a sharper picture and wider horizontal workspace. Although the MBA is the display of high quality and the movies very comfortable, compared with a conventional display with 16:10 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1280x800 points would be neupřednostnil. The width is for me, compared with less need for scrolling in different sites is irrelevant. Also even mention that no comparison of the two laptops will not offer a SD card reader, which for me is a necessary and essential computer equipment. Finally, recall that while Air will offer up to 30 days in standby mode instantím arousal, with white plastic MacBook is seriously working 8-10 hours while the Aire 4-5 hours.
MB Air 11.6 ": MB Air New models came out October 20, the era begins. If you can survive with lower power, without drive, without etherernetového port and no SD card reader, you travel a lot and sometimes you need to do CPU undemanding job or just to quickly check email jedenáctipalcový MB Air is for people like you and it certainly will not regret buying.
MacBook White: Although the Macbook Air and basic vykrádají market, this product is definitely dying out. For normal use will be sufficient and for your faithfulness in it'll reward you with a DVD drive, faster CPU, expandable RAM or HDD and longer battery life. Although even with an older processor, not a whole lot to lag behind competitors, buy only if you must. The new update is the use of modern processors simply unavoidable. The current generation is here with us from mid-May - which means an early end to his season and close to the update.
Thirteen Air; For thirteen
Top remind you what the different 13 "MB Pro 13" MBW. These are mainly metal construction, a SD card reader, FireWire 800 and base 4GB of RAM. There are only two models with different speed CPU (2.4 GHz and 2.66GHz C2D) and hard disk sizes (250 and 320 gigabytes). Basic 13 "MB Pro starts at 1199 USD, while the basic 13" MB Air to 1299 USD. For the price of one hundred dollars against the customer gets faster MB drive, a display with a resolution of 1440x900 points, lighter and thinner body, improved cooling and finally 30 days standby and 6-7 hours of work on the battery. For it loses a SuperDrive, FireWire 800, a backlit keyboard, reducing the slow processor and the continuous operation of the battery will be worse off from about 10 hours, which lasts MB.
MB 13.3: current MB are here with us from mid-April as well as suffering from MBW using an older processor series, which it essentially is now next to the current MB Air gets in a very disadvantageous position. Even though it's still great machine whose disadvantages compared Airy with today can be solved by using high-quality solid-state disk, if I really did not, I would not buy it. Not only is approaching the end of its 13 "MBA is after all a better and more cost hundreds of dollars.
MB Air 13.3": Like jedenáctipalcový model is here and only just thirteen. It is slightly more expensive equipment than richer MB, but in the end even better - a great display, great cooling, SSD, Instant On, weight, body endurance ... Many people object that can not be used as the primary machine - this is of course nonsense. 2GB of RAM can sometimes be enough, but for most applications, yet sufficient C2D@1.8GHz at a very fast SSD will be a bigger problem (OK, Final Cut or 3D AutoCAD, there are other machines). After all, I still managed with 1.5GHz C2D, 2GB RAM + SSD and complain when I can use daily. Neither Nvidia 320M GPU in most applications will not brake, even with such a beautiful play COD4. Purchase and highly recommend it to those who planned it solely as an ultra-portable computer, but just as a notebook like everyone else - no special category.
MB 15 "and 17": Here it is really easy. Big brother than 13 "model does not suffer from" technological backwardness "and offers a modern Core i5 and i7. Performance is plentiful, the battery also some 7-9 hours of work is sufficient. Moreover, recently the 15" and 17 "lunch our ability to choose the processor Core i7 processors to 2.8GHz frequency, so I close with the updating of at least until March or April of the count. If you want it or need it, buy it.
iPad iPad was first introduced in late January, but the market went up in April. Even today in our market, and even when an error with the second generation apple tablet expect big changes. When, however, appears difficult to estimate because iPad is now in the Apple menu, the only product type tablets. The new generation however, I waited again sometime in March-April.
purchase I would not recommend it under the Christmas tree, it is quite possible it again in January we will see announcements of new versions.
So much for today's mini-guide. I could not resist the subjective opinion of the situation to the MBA třináctipalcovému MB, but I think most of the current candidates for a new laptop from Apple agrees with me. And if not, it's okay, it's still a blog of my personal views that do not force anyone.
I hope you liked the guide and help you choose. Christmas Shopping Although the fever started in the summer, but if you think Apple's electronics for Christmas seriously, go to the shops. With the availability of products in this country is the very best and I think most will give me the truth when I say that buying Apple in December is already useless.
