Macbook pro

All the new MacBook Pro reviews rave about the aluminum design.

It is claimed that the remarkably sturdy hardware of the MacBook Pro was built by computer numerical control machines, which are the same machines that create essential parts of spacecraft bodies.

The result is a highly durable, sleek and lightweight design that takes far less material to make than most other laptop designs.

Even the box that holds the Macbook was made with less material so that there is not as much packaging waste.

Other new MacBook Pro reviews state that additional environmentally friendly features include that it’s arsenic, BFR, mercury and PVC free, making it not only healthy for the environment, but healthy for users too

The new body makes for a lighter notepad and at 5lbs 6oz is lighter than many ladies handbags (7lb 11oz, Daily Mail).

Some of the features that make the MacBook Pro even more user friendly than past MacBook designs are simple, yet highly innovative modifications.

The trackpad, for example, incorporates the touchpad and right and left button in one easy-to-use device.

You can do even more with the trackpad than simply swiping your fingers across the pad.

I also can’t believe how long the battery life of the new Mac is. New MacBook Pro 2011 reviews stated that the 13 inch design can last up to ten hours, while the 15 and 17 inch designs range from eight to nine hours.

This is by far the most battery life I’ve seen yet from any laptop or notebook computer.

Other features, such as better graphics and the Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading speed applications allow the newest edition in MacBook to be even more intuitive and practical for users.

No product is infallible, and so it is with the Macbook Pros.

The 17 inch model gives you a choice of a glossy or matte finish on the display; whereas the new 15 inch is glossy only, which might prove a problem for those whose first priority is not watching movies on a $2000 laptop.

But there’s no denying that the new MacBook Pro 2011 will usher in a variety of new elements to the world of computers. With all the new features included, it is sure to be one of the most sought after laptops on the market yet.

Hands On With Samsung’s Newest TV Tech: Wi-Fi Plasma, LED-Backlight LCD and 120Hz Blur Reduction

If you think all flat panels are the same, you haven't seen the stuff I'm about to show you. Remember that Wi-Fi 1080p plasma we told you about in April? Well that's it, above, and look ma, no wires. (Okay, there's a power cable plugged into the wall — who do you think built it, Nikolai Tesla?) After the jump, I'll show you the front and back of A/V box that the wireless TV uses, and maybe clue you into the joys of LED backlighting and 120Hz motion-blur reduction. (That last term has a kind of purr to it, am I right?

According to Samsung, this is the world's first 1080p Wi-Fi plasma. That's a lot of qualifiers, but it is pretty tasty, and according to the company, the issue of getting Hollywood's permission to stream 1080p video from Blu-ray or HD DVD is being resolved, and the TVs will ship in early October. They will be at 50" and 58" sizes, and will cost $600 more than the equivalent plasmas without Wi-Fi. Note the USB jack next to the HDMI input.

LED backlighting is the wave of the future for LCDs, and not just because they are "greener" than the current CCFLs. Because they can alternately dim and brighten 60 or 70 separate clusters of LEDs underneath the LCD panel, you get deeper contrast, but without losing detail in dark scenes. The TV in the shot below is the previously announced but never-before-shown LN-T4681F, a 46" set that will list for around $3,500. (Though the screen shows that idiotic Robots movie, the best demo of the TV's shadow and explosion capability was Batman Begins.

Finally, we turn to 120Hz. As many commenters have acknowledged, there are plenty of different types of 120Hz systems, and many different claims. I think the best ones are the ones that use image processing to interpolate new frames. (And yes, there are different types of interpolation, too, but let's skip that for now.) If you look at the photo I snapped of the TV here, Samsung's $3,000 46" LN-T4671F, you can actually see that for every two frames on the right, there's only one on the left. The camera don't lie, and believe me, it looked good in person too.
