Apple has released the much awaited 17 inch version of its classic MacBook Pro. Despite its large widescreen display, the MacBook Pro offers a sleek design and curvy edges, just like the Apple’s 15 inch notebooks. The overall design of this notebook is built with the aesthetics of the old 15 inch machines in mind. The 17-inch MacBook Pro brings all the advanced computing technology right at your fingertips.

MacBook Pro 17 inch model is build around the high speed Intel Core 2 Duo processor and can support up to 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM. Graphic options too are very impressive. It supports both NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor with 256MB DDR3 RAM (shared with main memory) and the dedicated NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics processor with 512MB GDDR3 memory. It is essentially like the previous Apple MacBook Pro, but obviously with a larger 17 inch display. This notebook is environment friendly as it is made of highly recyclable materials. There are no harmful toxins used while manufacturing this notebook. Connectivity options are in plenty. You will get USB ports, FireWire 800 port, ExpressCard interface, wireless interfaces and much more.

The 17 inch MacBook Pro has given the honour of the world’s thinnest and lightest 17 inch notebook. This is the only notebook that is powered via the latest high capacity battery based on the ‘adaptive charging’. It’s developed by Apple and offers 8 hours of run time and 1000 recharge cycles.

Apple continuously keeps itself busy in innovating something new for the technology world. Be it Safari for Mac, Safari for Windows, MacBooks or anything else, the company always looks forward to something unique and productive. This year the company is looking forward to design a new portable computing machine that will have three displays instead of one. This clearly shows a big leap in the mobile computing industry waiting ahead.

The Tribook is a theoretical concept till now but it sounds very exciting. This is the first time when a company has come up with an idea of triple displays to increase the screen size and productivity. The Tribook differs from the standard Apple MacBook Pro, or any other laptop for that matter, in that it is supposed to divide the whole screen into three different parts. The middle screen will be the primary one and will be surrounded by the two secondary displays on both the sides. Both of them are foldable. So the user will be free to use either one display, two of them or all the three. Another unbelievable feature of Tribook is that when all the three screens are unfolded the total display size gets 21 inches widescreen. No other laptop offers such a large viewable area.

As the two side screens can be folded, the size of the Tribook remains unaffected. It’s still a portable laptop that can fit easily into legacy laptop carry bags. However, piling up three displays makes it a little bit hefty but for such a masterpiece this thing can be neglected.

Since Apple launched the Safari web browser for Windows it has earned loads of fans, but there are many Internet users who still don’t like it for various reasons. Now the latest buzz that is spreading online is regarding the font rendering technology which this browser uses. The main reason why the buzz took place is the difference between the font rendering technology of Safari and technology of other browsers including Firefox, Internet Explorer etc.

Apple Safari displays the font on the screen in the same way it appears on the paper. So one can easily make out how a particular print out will look. This however makes the fonts appear a little blurred which the Window users are not able to accept. As Microsoft Windows Home Premium uses a whole different font rendering technology, the users of this OS are used to see the fonts using Clear type technology which makes the fonts much sharper on the screen as compared to what actually appears on the paper. So they find it very difficult to read the fonts generated by Safari’s font engine.

Both the font rendering technologies have their own virtues and vices. I personally don’t find any problems in reading Safari fonts. In fact it’s good to see the fonts that way because it’s the true picture, and the blurriness is not too high. However some Windows addicts still justify the Clear type technology and wants Safari to support that.
