For all of you waiting patently for new iMacs or MacPros or Macbook Pros or even the MacBook Airs – looks like your wait is coming to an end. CPU World has posted specs and release dates for Intel’s upcoming Ivy Bridge chipset - from the look of things, last week of April is the due date. Specifically, the iMac and MacPro lines for Apple are in dire need of a refresh, as it’s been 330 days and 640 days respectively, since they last got new hardware. (MacRumors Buying Guide)
Right on the heels of Microsoft releasing a “consumer preview” of Windows 8 (Feb 29th) and a much rumored iPad 3/HD event during the first week of March, this morning Apple dropped a bombshell – previewing Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). Up until now, there wasn’t a whole lot of chatter about the next big cat update, since rumors of new iMacs, MacPros, Macbook Pros and iPads had drowned out what little noise Mountain Lion brought. Regardless, unlike the move from Leopard to Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion is a very significant release – furthering even more the marriage between Mac OS and iOS - scheduled for Summer 2012 as a paid upgrade.
The iconic plastic white Macbook has been classified “End of Life” and a quick look on Apple’s store/Educational Store has it listed as “Out of Stock“. Essentially, if you want one now, you’ll have to find it through third party re-sellers – brick and mortar stores or sites like ebay. Originally released in 2006, the plastic macbook was marketed as a low-price alternative to Apple’s higher end hardware – it was also targeted at educational institutions. It’s been a good run….

Vizio started making consumer electronics in 2002 and today they are one of the largest TV manufacturers in the world but apparently that wasn’t enough. Yesterday at CES 2012, Vizio announced that they would enter the all-in-one pc market and the ultra-book laptop market – all by this spring! While countless pc manufacturers are trying to spin off their low/no profit pc businesses, Vizio is trying to get in! Strangely, Vizio’s philosophy has always been: “Enter the market with the lowest price point and gain market share accordingly” but how are they going to do this when the average windows 7 pc is going for $600-700? Where are they going to find the profits in those numbers?
While we don’t have specs or pricing, Vizio has really dropped a bomb shell at this years CES 2012 conference – especially with talk about creating a 10″ tablet as well. Is there nothing this company won’t do……or try? Stay Tuned, Vizio promises the hardware this spring. Still, have to admit that their “Macbook Pro” style laptops look good.
