“The brilliantly redesigned Mac Pro enclosure accommodates up to four drives and 2TB of storage; offers 8 DIMM slots to fill with up to 16GB of RAM; provides up to two SuperDrives. You also have four PCI Express slots, and more I/O ports — including two additional ports up front.”

I think there is nothing else to be said, any comments?

Don’t put your Mac laptop on you lap?

MacBook Pro overheatedThe overheating on the new MacBook Pros is getting fixed quietly by an updated in the line’s firmware. However, the company apparently still doesn’t want to take any chances on users getting a little overheated while using the laptops, so they’ve included a warning in the manual (which also appears in the manual for the MBP), advising not to use their laptops on their laps? Apple’s solution to this is to recommend that customers put the laptop on a desk or other flat surface. And, not surprisingly, the word “laptop” does not appear once in the MacBook’s manual.

Macbook Core Duo

The new models all share one case design, a 5.2-pound box available in black or white, with a 13.3-inch, 1280×800 display and full-size keyboard. All are based on Intel’s Core Duo processor, at speeds from 1.83 GHz to 2.0 GHz. Apple claims a six-hour battery life for the new models, though we imagine that’s reduced substantially if you spend that time watching DVDs. Like other recent models from Apple, the MacBook also includes an integrated iSight webcam, a remote control, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi and Bluetooth. The new models are available immediately from Apple’s online store at prices from $1,099 to $1,499. If you want black, you’ll have to pay more: the $1,499 model is the only one one in the color scheme; other than the case color and an 80GB drive, its specs are identical to a $1,299 white model (the 80GB drive is available as a $50 upgrade for the white version, making the price for the black case $150).
