Should you buy a MacBook Pro  or MacBook Air
MacBook Air is the worlds thinnest Notebook, we agree, its light and is very sleek one of the innovation that attracted allot was it had a multi touch gesture and was total wireless i.e. no ROM etc.  The MacBook Air the worlds thinnest PC is a 1.6Ghz or 1.8Ghz processor with a 13″ screen and costs around $1799.00 to $3098.00 means its slow, its just wireless and its way to expensive and buying it for the sake of its sleekness is ……………………..

On the other hand the multi touch features one of the only usefull feature in MacBook Air is not available in the new MacBook Pro. The pro is packed with really fast processor, supper fast and supper powerful then the MacBook Air and costs $1 999.0 for a 13″ display as compared to  MacBook Air starting at $1799.00 so for an added $100 you can get a MacBook Pro definitely not the worlds thinnest Notebook but the worlds fastest Notebook.

apple iPhone touch screen technology

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

With the iPhone initially and then iPod touch, the touch screen systems are becoming more and more common. The apple’s new innovation Mac Air’s mouse pad is its self a multi touch screen. But how does this all stuff work. Touch screen is not a new phenomina introduced by Apple rather, Apple computers just specialized and refined the technology to greater level and placed it direcly in the consumers hands, though as far as i remeber Microsoft was yet another company who had build the touch screen with there product Surface but the mistake they made they never made it for regular consumers. “Greed Kills” rather build it for corporations and once after launch we never heard about it as far as i see the Product build by Microsoft was more complex then iPhone but still it wasn’t for average joe.

Ever wondered how the the touch screen works, its quite interesting how the simple and unique the technology is.
