It wouldn’t be like us not to bring you word of a new Mac Mini without a plethora of pretty photos to go with it. Come see the Thunderbolt equipped budget(ish) desktop here in our gallery!
July, 2011
Prepare yourself for a fun filled day riddled with Apple product launches. After botching the new MacBook Air release date last week, we’re back for redemption. The new 11-inch MacBook Air is now live in the Apple Store for £849 (inc VAT) and comes standard with a 1.6 GHz Core i5 processor, 2GB of memory and 64GB of flash storage. Ready for the full scoop? Let’s begin.
UPDATE: Apple will continue to sell the MacBook to educational institutions through resellers, it appears, but otherwise, it’s RIP.
BREAKING: The Apple is store is flush with new models right now, including a new MacBook Air and a Mac Mini. But look a bit closer, and you’ll see something iconic is missing: the original, plastic, white MacBook.
We’ve just confirmed with Apple that the MacBook line which started it all has now been discontinued. No reason was supplied but it’s not hard to see why it makes business sense: Apple already sells a similarly sized 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air (both for higher pricetags), while providing a budget OS X option with the Mac Mini.
So here’s to you, original MacBook. We had some times together.
In the battle of the HTC Sensation and Motorola Atrix, it’s young pretender versus old veteran. Moto’s Android 2.2 blower has been doing the rounds since early 2011 and comes with a surfeit of cool features, such as fingerprint recognition and the ability to function as a laptop. However, is this going to be enough to stop the fresh-faced newcomer that is the HTC Sensation, with Android 2.3 in its pocket and a larger screen to boot? Feast your eyes on the results…
The 2010 reboot of Goldeneye for the Wii proved a worthy mission for the libidinous martini-tipper. The re-imagining of the N64 classic (beloved of gamers, stoners and schoolboy skivers) brought updated storylines and beefed-up multiplayer.
It also bought current 007 Daniel Craig, who – thankfully – appeared sporting a tux rather than his signature, powder-blue banana-hammock.
Now Acti has decided to bring the same game, plus some additions, to the PS3 and Xbox 360. If Goldeneye 007 Reloaded can capture the sheer joy of the original, it’ll be one of 2011’s must-have titles.
EP headed to a top secret London location to have a first play. Better start saving because, as Bond once mused, ‘Christmas only comes once a year.’ [Pass me the sick bucket - Ed].
We make it halfway through the working week, according to our watches, so let’s take a quick breather, and recap all the morning’s stories for you, right here in the lunchtime lowdown.
