Lightweight, thin, laptop … but it is a MacBook Air. The Airis Praxis Slim is the new computer from the Spanish fima, another who would like to be like the ultralight Apple. A point has been to achieve, as their weight stays at only 1.2 pounds and barely reaches 25 mm in depth. But ultimately it is still a substitute, to which he has cut several ways to lower their cost.

Its display is twelve inches and offers a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Since that number of lines and falls under the category of high definition, including an HDMI video output is correct. However, your processor does not cease to be a simple Intel Atom at 1.6 gigahertz and has only one gigabyte of RAM. For file storage with an acceptable 160-gigabyte hard disk.

To connect to the Internet has Wi-Fi wireless technology. It also carries an integrated webcam, stereo speakers and two USB ports to connect all types of accessories. Its battery offers only three hours of autonomy, although this measure will depend largely on the use we make of it. And also the chosen operating system, Windows 7, since in theory spend more than Windows XP, although you can also choose from Linux or Vista (although it unwise with so little RAM).

The output of this Airis Praxis Slim is planned for October. Its price in Europe will be 400 euros. Not bad if you want a MacBook Air as an inexpensive, but today the market offers more compelling alternative.

It is in the street on their own creators have dubbed “the most advanced operating system in the world”. This is, of course, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the latest software update from Apple that teacher has gone on sale on 28 August at a price of 29 euros if you already have version 10.5.

While Leopard is, to date, and for many the best operating system designed Apple, Snow Leopard version, which corresponds to the number 10.6, not so much a new operating system as a set of improvements over the old Leopard. Let’s see which are most important …

All the heart of Snow Leopard has been reconfigured to take advantage of the 64-bit depth of recent Apple computers. The result is noticeable in the performance of applications that are part of the system as iCal, iChat, Mail and Safari, that with the new snow leopard will run much faster. The browser and mail program, in fact, work up to 50% faster without falling.

The definitive leap to 64 bits also makes the Apple browser, known as a finder, more fluid in their searches. Nevertheless, the system remains compatible with 32-bit architectures.

More in less space

The new Snow Leopard takes up half the previous version and a savings of 7 GB hard disk after installation. El sistema requiere de 1 GB de RAM para funcionar y es compatible con todos los equipos Apple con procesador Intel.

For Developers

Many improvements of Snow Leopard does not see naked eye because they are designed to make life easier for developers. The system, for example, Grand Central Dispatch allows programmers to better exploit the dual core processors. OpenCL same applies to a system that allows certain operations of calculation load on the graphics card, freeing the processor and accelerate work performance.

Applications retouched

Yes, the end user will see changes in programs like QuickTime, which has been completely remodeled or Exposé, which is now integrated in the Dock. The new system has also won support for Exchange email platform, used by many companies.

With the introduction of the new MacBook Pro, with sizes starting at 13 inches, many thought that the MacBook would be forgotten, at least in its plastic, or that Apple was preparing some sort of ultraportable or tablet PCs have this designation.

But rumors are that Apple plans with these devices could be quite different and they have no intention of abandoning. If true, say the 13-inch notebook is undergoing a remodeling design, which will make them lighter and thinner.

Could this mean a reduction in prices of this range? Currently, the white plastic MacBook costs 900 euros and I personally believe that there is scope for a reduction that could leave between 750 and 800 euros, which would increase sales.

Of course, all that would remain for the presentation of the rumored Apple tablet, which could range between 500 and 700 euros, and to complement the entire price spectrum. In September we really juicy news from Cupertino.

New Macbook rumors of a touchscreen that allegedly could be purchased in September. In particular the product Apple Macbook Touch would be known and may be the long-awaited Apple tablet which is half in world sailing.

The new Macbook Touch would be a hybrid between a NETBOOK, a tablet and an iPod Touch, but with some truly interesting dimensions. So let’s go to see the supposed features of Apple’s Macbook Touch:

According to the Journal du geek, who has launched the rumor, the new Macbook Touch multitáctil come with a screen of 9.7 inches. The hardware such as CDs is disappearing gradually giving way to online downloads, so the Macbook Touch not equipped optical drive, but will come with two USB ports, plus a slot for SD cards. As we understand that Apple wants to further its APP Store, with applications for Macbook Touch.

According to rumors, Apple will introduce this product in September next to the new Snow Leopard, coming in two versions:

Macbook Touch 80GB Price: 800 euros
Macbook Touch 120GB Price: 950 euros

I have read many rumors about an Apple tablet in the time it takes in this world, but they come and I am much more than the rest of them. Would you be willing to buy at these prices Macbook Touch?
