Apple tempts broadband users with upgrades
Wednesday 21st October 2009, by Daniel King
Broadband users looking to upgrade their equipment or make the switch from Windows to an alternative platform may be interested in the latest announcements from Apple.
The Cupertino-based technology company unveiled a number of changes to its line of desktop iMac computers as well as its entry-level MacBook laptop that include alterations to the screen performance.
In the former category, Apple detailed what buyers could expect from the new 21.5 and 27-inch versions of the machine, noting that each was now fitted with an LED-backlit front panel with an edge-to-edge glass fascia and aluminium body.
Both operate using Intel processing technology of various speeds according to the requirements of the user and come with a wireless keyboard and the firm's latest Magic Mouse - which uses the same Multi-Touch technology that can be found on the Apple iPhone and iPod touch.
Philip Schiller, the company's senior vice-president of worldwide product marketing, explained the combination of a better screen, mouse and internal gadgetry means the iMac is capable of delivering "an amazing desktop experience that we think customers will love".
Apple's smaller device, the Mac mini, has also been? given a boost with faster processing, as well as more storage and memory, while the aluminium MacBook has been given the same screen treatment as its iMac sibling and an improved power source.
"With the only line-up of notebooks all featuring unibody enclosures, LED-backlit displays and long-life battery technology, there's never been a better time to switch to a Mac," Mr Schilling concluded.
All of the devices ship with Apple's new Mac OS X Snow Leopard software.
