Is The �ThinBook� Coming This Fall?
Wednesday, September 26 2007 @ 9:43 AM ET | Article Link
by Charles W. Moore

The Mac Web was awash (yet again) last week with rumor about the imminent release of a new MacBook Pro �ThinBook,� a thread of speculation that began shortly after Apple discontinued the erstwhile 12� PowerBook in May, 2006 with no replacement, unless you consider the 13� MacBook a satisfactory subnotebook substitute. The thing is that the MacBook is almost as big and heavy as the old full-size Titanium G4 PowerBook, and not that much smaller than a 15� MacBook Pro. For serious road warriors, these computers are much more bulky and weighty than what is ideal for extended lugging around. I�ve thrown my oar into the speculation pool from time to time myself, and I have to say I�m somewhat surprised that no Intel Mac subnotebook has materialized yet, although Apple has had a tendency to sporadically address the subnotebook market with lengthy lapses interspersed.

Magazine editor Robert Safian, in his editor's letter, poses the question, "What does design really contribute to an organization's bottom line?" What's ironic is his answer to the question: namely two key words. (We'll give you one of them... jobs). Read More...

The �Book Mystique Review - Kensington�s Ci70 Desktop Set
Wednesday, September 19 2007 @ 8:18 AM ET | Article Link
by Charles W. Moore

Notebook keyboards are OK - some better than others - but for anything more than short sessions at the computer you really need an external keyboard and pointing device, preferably used in conjunction with a laptop stand that can get the screen up into comfortable elevation. Laptop ergonomics are pretty horrible, and habitual use in laptop mode is likely to result in rounded shoulders and a stiff neck. Although I prefer wired input devices at my office workstation, for mobile computing, the most convenient solutions will be wireless devices. Apple offers both modes in its new aluminum keyboards, but one shortcoming of the wireless version is that it, like notebook keyboards, has no separate numerical keypad, but rather depends upon a Numlock-mediated embedded pad.

AMD: Why They're 'The Smarter Choice'
Tuesday, September 18 2007 @ 9:50 AM ET | Article Link
by Joe Leo
