Apple report : New iPad and MacBook Pros May Be Released Soon

Apple may be getting ready to release a new iPad and several new MacBook Pro models. One indication is that Apple has reportedly asked its store employees to sign a nondisclosure agreement ahead of an employee meeting scheduled Sunday. If an employee declined to sign, the meeting was off-limits.

A major update of its MacBook Pro notebooks, with as many as five new models, is suspected by a variety of Apple watchers. However, some believe the notebooks will be launched on Thursday -- which is Apple cofounder and CEO Steve Jobs' 56th birthday. However, Apple has not announced a Thursday event that would be before the meeting for retail employees.

Light Peak

The new MacBook Pros dell latitude d820 battery , according to some observers, will feature Intel's new dual-core Sandy Bridge mobile chips and might contain a solid-state drive used only for a quick-start OS. They may also have a new data port called Light Peak, with a blazing 10-gigabits-per-second transfer rate. This would be the fastest transfer rate from a Mac to another Mac, or a Mac to a storage device.

Light Peak technology has been promoted by Intel and Apple as a replacement for FireWire 800, USB 3.0, and other connection technologies. It utilizes daisy-chaining, allowing one device to be connected to another, and it's expected to be available in a fiber-optic version as well as a copper one.

The version expected to be announced soon by Apple will be copper, but the optical version is the real powerhouse. Optical is expected to offer 100 gigabits per second in addition to carrying an electrical connection for powering peripherals.

Robert X. Cringely, an independent observer of the computer Dell inspiron 1520 battery scene, is predicting that Light Peak technology, coupled with automatic load distribution in Mac OS X from Grand Central Dispatch and multi-processing control from Mac OS X's Xgrid, could mean a radical new approach to data servers -- especially if Apple also releases Light Peak on Mac Minis.

iPad 2?

He noted that Apple announced a few weeks ago that it is abandoning xServe, and the news was taken by some to indicate Apple is getting out of the server market. But Cringely argues that, with functionality built into Mac OS X and Light Peak on stackable Mac Minis, a "supercomputer" could easily be built in data centers with multiple Minis, software on one of the Minis, and connections via Light Peak.

If the MacBook Pros are released Thursday, the speculation is that the launch for which retail employees are being required to sign NDAs would be in the next week or two for a next-generation iPad Dell vostro 1720 battery . Over the last few weeks, there have been a stream of reports, some with information allegedly from suppliers and manufacturers in Asia, indicating that Apple is preparing a followup to its tablet success. If those reports are accurate, the new tablet is expected to go on sale in the spring.

Among the expected features of an iPad 2 are a camera for FaceTime video chatting, faster processing, more memory , better graphics and display, possibly a Mini DisplayPort for external monitors -- and perhaps even Light Peak.

Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server (Mid 2010) review
As a longtime a fan of utility servers and "the right tool for the job", I'm still amused at how odd the idea of a Mac mini as a server can be. They don't look like servers. They don't have redundant power supplies or ethernet ports.

Thanks for visiting!
