Apple released PowerBook G4, dual core powermac and aperture
The rumors were true! Apple released two new PowerBook today. The 15-inch and 17-inch. Both PowerBook gets a new display with higher resolution. The 15-inch will have a 1440 x 960 resolution (previously 1280 x 854). The 17-inch will get a new resolution 1680 x 1050 (previously 1440 x 900). Both will be 46% brighter than previous models, and both will have 22% better battery life. SuperDrive is now a standard on all models, even though I’m not sure whether it is a dual layer DVD burner or a single layer. So, no built-in iSight? No FrontRow?
The rumour about PowerMac G5 is also true. PowerMac G5 are also updated. The new Powermac come with dual core processors, 1MB L2 cache per core, up to 16GB of DDR2 RAM, 1TB of internal storage, PCI Express.
The PowerMac support four new nVidia cards, including the Quadro FX 4500 - all four cards support 30” cinema display.
The most powerful PowerMac of all is the PowerMac Quad. The PowerMac Quad is a dual CPU dual-core 2.5 GHz.
Guest what? The rumour about photo editing software is also true! Apple’s also introducing a new post-production tool for photographers today. It’s called Aperture.
All the rumors are true. The apple store is now back open.
