The Samsung SF310 has a 4GB memory and 320GB hard drive, more than ample for everyday use. The 13in 720p high resolution, wide-screen and LED backlit display makes it brilliant for viewing your media files.
Sleekly designed, the SF310 has a curved outer chassis, and a brushed aluminium palm rest and surrounding panels inside.
In keeping with its smooth design there are a range of ports neatly tucked away on the side, including an HDMI port.
This model is N Wi-Fi ready making it fast at finding networks across the country. The SF310 also features a ‘hot key’ just above the keyboard, allowing you to log on and off the internet quickly and easily.
This model is equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor, ensuring great performance.
With a battery life of around seven hours and the technology packed into a compact size, this laptop is a clever choice of travel companion.

Pros: The low cost – this laptop offers great everyday performance at an attractive price.
Cons: Although having a neat design, the SF310 is fairly heavy for a 13in laptop.

Let’s leave the boring economic & stock details to those really interested into this [so click here to read more Apple stock news], but Apple’s shares got up to $ 205.04 - super-atmospheric price!

For us, geeks, Mac-users and -lovers, what’s more important?

New products, of course!

On Oct 20th Apple introduced so many new produts and updates I barely can name all of them here, so let’s get a list to begin.

new iMac, it’s that simple: 21.5 and 27 inches display, new CPUs up to Core i7 Quad processors, up to 16 GB Ram (from the 8 Gig previously allowed). Simply gorgeous!
Several built-to-order options for Graphics cards, CPU, hard disk units available.
new MacBook: white policarbonate chassis but with unibody construction style, multitouch trackpad, 13.3 Led display.
new Magic Mouse: almost an iPod touch or a multi-touch trackpad - in a mouse! All the mouse surface is smart enough to keep track of your gestures!
Mac Mini: despite all rumors (and death bell tolls) it’s still alive - and fine! The 2009 Mac Mini sports a faster processor, twice the RAM, energy-saving features and a lot more!

A product I’m really interested in is the Mac Mini with Snow Leopard.
A special edition Mac Mini fully loaded with 4 Gigs of RAM, two 500 GB hard disks and pre-installed Snow Leopard Server with special remote management features.
Right now it’s the best way (and the most affordable yet) to get a great Mac server for your Home/Office and to fully integrate PCs and Macs!

Most Apple product should be available by the time you read this or eligible for pre-order; here are some prices:
Apple iMac 21.5-Inch starts at US $ 1.199
Apple iMac 27-Inch starts at US $ 1.699
Apple MacBook available for US $ 999
Apple Magic Mouse available for US $ 69
Apple Mac mini goes starts from US $ 599
Mac Mini with Snow Leopard Server (unlimited license) is available for US $ 999.

Stop all rumors!

The guys at MacSwitching.com just reported that Apple has just updated Mac Pro, iMac and Mac Mini (after a few hours of down-service for world-wide online Apple Store).

Mac Pro -> new versions with 4- and 8-core, both with a redesigned interior,
iMac -> four versions: from 20″ (now US$ 1,199) and three 24″ versions (all with 4 GB RAM),
Mac mini -> all rumors confirmed: it’s totally revamped with NVidia 9400M graphics, in two models.
The new Mac mini sports two outstanding features:
- it’s the “greener” products from Apple ever (less than 13 W of power when idle, Apple says)
- has a crowded backside with 5 USB 2.0, DVI and mini-DisplayPort (and yes, FireWire 800!).

The usual frenzy around SF MacWorld finally ended up with the announcement of the MacBook Air.

The thinnest Mac ever.
- a slimmer Core 2 Duo processor specially built by Intel for Apple and 60% of the original Core 2 Duo,
- standard 2 GB RAM,
- 80 GB HD or (optional) 64 GB SSD,
- 13,3″ eLed display.
- battery life: 5 hours…
- full wireless (over the Air) connectivity… of course!
- 802.11N + Bluetooth 2.0 EDR,
- weight: 3 pounds (almost 1.3 kg)

The MacBook Air has no built-in SuperDrive, an external unit, USB-powered, was announced too and will cost US$ 99.
Thanks to a new utility called RemoteDisk, running on both PCs and Macs, the DVD unit is almost useless, since you’re enabled to use some other PC/Mac DVD unit remotely.

Retail price of the MacBook Air is US$ 1,799 with more options to become available anytime soon.

MacNN reports that Apple’s MacBook took one of the top three sales spots during Amazon.com’s holiday season: Amazon.com announced the results of its 2007 holiday season, revealing Apple’s MacBook as one of the top sellers in the online retailer’s PC category, more exactly in the list of products most frequently purchased as gifts by Amazon.com customers in 2007.

Since its update, as we reported in May, the Apple MacBook surged as one of the best selling notebook Macs and you can see it almost everywhere (Starbucks, college, business room etc.).

Apple has announced an update to its MacBook Pro line of notebooks with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors, memory up to 4GB thanks to the new “Santa Rosa” chipset architecture, and high-speed graphics with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT. The 15-inch model sports a new mercury-free, power-efficient LED-backlit display, while the 17-inch model has an optional high-resolution 1920-by-1200 display. Rounding up the high end specs, all models include a built-in iSight video camera, MagSafe Power Adapter, and built-in 802.11n wireless networking.

Every MacBook Pro includes an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4MB of shared L2 cache, an 800 MHz frontside bus and 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, with 2.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz processor options for the 15-inch models, and a 2.4 GHz processor powering the 17-inch.
