Portfolious

The first thing that you are going to notice about the new iMac is the screen, and it is a beauty.  I cannot compare it to the previous generation iMac’s screen, but from what I have read, the new iMac’s screen is similar to the Apple Cinema Display.  So far the computer has been performing great.  The 3.06 GHz processer is a welcomed improvement over my 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro.  I did not order the Quad Core version because I was planning on getting the 2.8 GHz iMac before Apple announced their new product line, so this was a nice upgrade to my original choice.  I just do not need the power that the Quad Core iMac provides, so after talking with an Apple associate, I decided the 3.06 GHz was just fine for my youtube editing needs.

Ram-Mounts.com is a great website to find any mounts for your “‘mounting” needs. They offer a vast variety of mounts ranging from marine boat to iphone and printer mounts. All are made of very sturdy high composite plastic and metal which provides a sturdy, well made product. All ram mounts are produced and manufactured in the USA. Ram-Mount also provide a large range of “housing units” for many devices, whether it be a laptop or just a simple ipod, they’ve got you covered. For this review blog, I am specifically reviewing the suction cup mount, and the cup holder mount, both compatible with the iPhone.

The little brother of the iMac, the cousin of the MacBook, the Mac mini is the often overlooked desktop computer of the Apple Macintosh line up.  Originally launched in 2005, it was intended to be a less expensive method for first time Mac “switchers”.  Priced at $599, to this day it is still the cheapest (legal) method of owning a Mac, yet still had not caught on in the same way the iMac or MacBook has.  It just doesn’t have the sex appeal of the iMac with its massive all-in-one display, or the portability of the MacBook, leaving some analyst to predict its demise nearly every product cycle.  

Ever heard of a Hackintosh?  It is when someone hacks their computer to allow a hacked version of OS X to run on their computer, get it?  Well a company named Psystar, who is famous for selling Hackintosh computers, has just made this process a lot easier.  They are now selling a program called Rebel EFI, which will run on your PC and tell you if it is able to run Mac OS X, after it does that it will configure your PC and all you will have to do is insert a retail disk of Mac OS X, and you will have yourself a Hackintosh.

On October 20th, 2009, Apple Inc. released some super awesome new products. Replacing the “Mighty Mouse” is the “Magic Mouse,” which is what I’ll be doing a review on today. Other products released were a 27 inch iMac and a smaller 21.5 inches, a new white unibody MacBook, and a new Mac Mini.

OtterBox.com was generous enough to send us another great case for the iPhone 3G/3GS. This is the Commuter case by otterbox. Last week we reviewed the Commuter TL case from OtterBox, which is their newest case available out today. If you would like to check out that blog, click here. The commuter case is make up of 3 layers of protection. First being the free screen guard that they throw in with the case. The screen guard is not anti-glare but does include instillation instructions, instillation card, and a small shammy cloth for amy finger prints. The second part of this case is the silicone sleeve that gives this case a nice look and feels great in your hand. The last layer of protection is the is the outer, hard plastic, spine.

On October 20, 2009, Apple released some great new products that have been going around the rumor mill for almost one month! It was time; the iMacs, Consumer-level Macbooks and the Mighty Mice all recieved significant updates. Today in this blog, I will tell you how this update brought consistency, attention and how it all came just in time. Consistency is one thing that you will now see when you visit the Apple Store.

Rumors have it, that Apple could be supporting 6-core processing STANDARD with their new Mac Pro desktop releasing sometime in 2010. Intel, Apples CPU manufacture, has announced recently a new line of processors code named “Gulftown”.

Good news for Canadian “Apple freaks!” Although the iPhone is already on Fido and Rogers in Canada, rumors have it that Bell and Telus will have the iPhone by late November/Early December.
