Since the end of the PowerPC 2006, Apple turned to Intel exclusively for embedded processors in its computers MacBook. But things could change perhaps in the months to come.

Representatives from AMD would have been seen recently in the company of Apple executives according to our colleagues from AppleInsider. Information back and confirmed by DailyTech, adding that the firm at the apple is very interested in AMD’s Fusion technology that integrates into a single chip processor and graphics. The first Fusion chips are expected to emerge next year with the arrival of the new mobile platform Sabine works with DDR3 memory and processors in 32nm etched Llano incorporating a graphic part and a part consists of 4 CPU cores to the maximum. Besides the fact that AMD’s Fusion technology is attractive on paper, it must be said that relations between Intel and Apple does not seem set fair recently. Apple could then look at AMD for several reasons. On the one hand because the company Steve Jobs is seriously considering equipping its future MacBook AMD chips or she wants at least provide its entry-level models of the AMD platform because of lower costs and good performance. On the other hand simply to provoke a reaction from Intel to possibly get cheaper prices from the company of Santa Clara. In any case if Apple decides to come out soon a MacBook or more in the AMD platform, the Apple brand could also use the blow ATI graphics chips, the founder-owned firm in Sunnyvale. Short for now, besides a meeting between AMD and Apple seems to have taken place, the rest is speculation.

According to Intel, it is the turn of its rival AMD announced its results for the first quarter 2010.  In Q4 2010 after several quarters in the red, AMD recorded a positive result following the payment by Intel’s 1.24 billion dollars for anti-competitive practices against him (see article).  The market believed that this return in the green would actually be short-lived. But they were wrong because AMD has announced its first quarter 2010 net earnings of $ 257 million against a loss of $ 416 million for the same period last year. It should be noted however that AMD would have fallen into the red without reaped $ 325 million following the sale of its shares in GlobalFoundries which owns its production facilities.  In the first quarter of 2010, the margin of the Sunnyvale firm was 47%, and turnover of 1.57 billion, up 34% over a year.



Revenues from processors grew 23% yoy but declined by 5% compared to end 2009 due to lower sales. The difference remains contained because of the increase in the average CPU elapsed.  As for ATI graphics chips, AMD is better because its revenues in the sector rose 88% over one year but less than 3% in Q4 2009. Shipments of graphics chips have increased during the period from late 2009, mainly thanks to ATI’s mobile graphics cards. It is true that the Radeon Mobility HD5000 brand seduce number of users, especially since they are DirectX 11 compatible, unlike their rival Nvidia.  AMD President Dirk Meyer also said that his company has begun shipments of its next generation mobile platform. And for the second quarter of 2010, it expects a drop in sales due in part to the period which is generally the most sluggish of the year.

New 13-inch widescreen Apple MacBook is a laptop powerful new value, replacing the Apple iBook. Available in white and black, the MacBook is Apple’s first Intel-based laptop is a completely redesigned thin and light. While this notebook is designed to be thin and lightweight, weighing only £ 5.2 is relatively difficult to size. But the last built in, MacBook consists of durable polycarbonate shell, which gives a unique feeling of confidence. Bright, glossy widescreen display is breathtaking and the keyboard is a first-class comfort and tactile feedback.
Portability
Weighing 5.2 pounds, 1.08 “thick, 12.78 inches wide and 8.92″ deep 13-inch MacBook is not the most portable machine out there. This 13.3 “Machine weighs closer to 14-15 “laptops, but most users should not have problems with their size.
Keyboard
The keyboard is a rounded edge of the frame and deep enough to offset that, if the laptop is closed, the keyboard is exposed MacBook screen. It is a significant improvement over the Apple iBook, which was well-known brands in its main screen. The new keyboard is flatter keys, which are separated from each other they do not mix. This is a new keyboard design for Apple, but it is much better. The new keyboard does take a little getting used to, and if you miss when you use another.

Touchpad
Apple has increased the size of the trackpad MacBook and MacBook Pro design was widescreen. In the beginning was a bit strange as large trackpad, but since Apple has been in contact with the two-finger scrolling and right-click the higher the track pad is required and easy to use. Touch Scrolling is simple and asks the user to simply place two fingers slightly separate track pad, then move your finger to scroll the direction (up, down, left, right – you can set the System Preferences).

Display
MacBook is a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen TFT with resolutions up to 1280×800. Some users may be associated with glossy screen, but the reality is not as pervasive as it appears in real life captured online (camera flash, to increase the brightness). As the brightness, the screen is very bright. He literally gave me a headache after an hour of use, but the solution was simple: I turned the brightness. I just turn the brightness level of about 2/3rds of the screen can be viewed throughout the day without the strain was less evident and luster as well. Overall, the screen is a major improvement over the iBook and PowerBook last show and just look outside, it is quite clear.

Battery
Faster than the shell of the battery are of different types of apples before batteries. However, the new battery design allows easy access to Apple’s memory and hard drive. The lithium-polymer battery is rated at 55 watts an hour and is equipped with an integrated LED indicates charging status of battery how much power is left. Overall, on average, compared to the battery via the PC counterpart.

The Vaio Z is an ultra-portable high quality that will appeal to demanding users thanks to its clean design, its looks stylish and durable chassis combines aluminum and carbon. Featuring an Intel Core 2 Duo power (P8700) it can perform operations without problems requiring significant computing power. It embeds a dual graph to be eligible to choose a lower energy consumption with the Intel integrated chipset or power increased with its 3D graphics card Geforce 9300M dedicated.

The connection is of course very complete with HDMI ports, VGA, Firewire, ExpressCard, 802.11n WiFi and 3G smart + controls to stay connected at all times. The hard drive has an accelerometer to protect it if dropped or shocks. It runs Windows Vista Business 64-bit (possible downgrade to XP Professional) and comes with many software including WinDVD 8, Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.

The MacBook Pro 17 is the high-end Apple notebooks. It has a configuration suitable for use in the most demanding system resources through its Intel Core 2 Duo performance and its dual graphics system consisting of a Geforce 9600M GT and a Geforce 9400M. These can work hand in hand to provide computing power 3D to the expectations of professional image. Despite the power board, Apple has managed to propose autonomy unusual for a 17-inch laptop, the MacBook Pro up to eight hours of battery operation, a record and a real demonstration of expertise! The rest of the configuration is also very complete with slab WUXGA (1920 × 1200), hard drive 7200 rpm or SSD option available and a full connectivity (WiFi 802.11n, DisplayPort, FireWire 800, …). Like other models in the range Unibody, the MBP 17 provides a smooth finish, a backlit keyboard and a multi-touch touchpad particularly effective.

The m17x is Alienware’s laptop superlatives since it is probably the best-performing model of the moment but also one of the most expensive if the user decides to configure it with the best components currently available. It is thus possible to opt for an Intel Quad Core Extreme QX9300, a two-card SLI Geforce GTX 280M graphics, up to 8 GB of RAM and of course hard drive 7200 rpm configured in RAID0. You will understand, the m17x is the ultimate notebook for all hardcore gamers, no games can not resist him.

The HDX18 is a versatile portable resolutely turned towards multimedia usage with its Blu-Ray player to watch videos in High Definition on-screen 16:9 Full HD or an external TV via HDMI, while enjoying its 2.1 sound system to immerse themselves in action. It also has a Freeview TV tuner and a remote to control the remote audio and video. It is configured with an Intel Quad Core suited to programs that require significant computing power, such as video editing in Adobe Premiere.

Its two hard drives 7200 rpm can benefit from enhanced performance compared to models 5400 rpm. Its dedicated graphics card (Geforce GT 130M) will run most games market but it will decrease the resolution of the slab and the graphics settings to keep a good gameplay. But not everything since this HDX also has provided connectivity (WiFi 802.11n, HDMI, VGA, Firewire), useful software (Works 9, Cyberlink DVD Suite) and Vista 64 bit to fully take Part of the 4 GB of RAM. Clearly, this is one of the portable multimedia market more complete.

Apple MacBook Air is the first product in a crowded marketplace of ultraportables (computers very light, small but very capable) among others like Sony, Fujitsu, Lenovo or Dell. Let’s take a brief look at a current market supply. MacBook Air is extremely thin and size-balanced. You can keep easily in one hand and, unlike most laptops, enjoy a matte appearance, clean and evenly when it is closed. The third model of the MacBook line and it brings incredible size at a price premium. Curved edges and sharp form distinguishes it from all Mac laptops that we have seen until now. Because curvature no smooth points on the port side, so as to meet existing Mac laptops. On the left side near the rear space is encrusted with a MagSafe power connector. As a result, the MacBook Air includes a power connector smaller than 45 watts. On the right side we find a door with three ports. There is a standard minijack for headphones or speakers, a USB port and a micro-DVI port.

MacBook Air ships with two video adapters, one for VGA and one for DVI. Also, an S-Video adapter is available as an option, for $19. And for those who really want an Ethernet connection, Apple will sell a USB adapter. Ethernet at $29. No optical drive in the MacBook Air, but Apple can offer one external USB SuperDrive for $99, specially designed for MacBook Air.

However, the optical needs, Remote Disc software will allow the MacBook Air’s optical drive to take control of another Mac or PC. Laptop comes with software that you can install on Macs or PCs. Then, click on Remote Disc in the Finder sidebar, you will find a list of all computers in the network that have Remote Disc installed. Make a click on one of these computers and: You will be able to take direct control of the computer or in front of that computer users will be warned and asked to let you take control.

If you open the shell magnetic MacBook Air, you will find a miniature combination between MacBook and MacBook Pro. There are aluminum everywhere, except the black keyboard and 13.3-inch display. This display, Lao resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels is smaller than a MacBook, but better resolution gives the same number of pixels or even higher.

Immediately above the display is in iSight camera, flanked by two small round perforations. The left is a light sensor that allows the computer to adjust brightness and backlight keys. Hide left Ceadin microphone. There have been a year when the market, but Fujitsu Q2010 is about as thin as MacBook Air and somewhat thin. It benefits from a smaller screen (12.1 inches) compared to the 13.3-inch MacBook owned by Air.

Q2010 has integrated Wi-Fi 802.11abg, as well as Bluetooth 2.0, and enough ports and slots to keep in touch base. And I mentioned that is less than 1 kg? It is available with 40 GB hard disk or 80 GB. But you should hurry if you want one. They are increasingly hard to find.
