Just like everyone else I have been waiting for something new to report about Apple Computers (other than the iPad). In other words I am waiting for newer, faster processors in the MacBook Pro line of laptops (all the other Apple products are probably of great interest to someone, but they don’t mean much to me).
I travel constantly and I am looking to replace my very old 17-inch Mac laptop (I won’t say which model, it is too embarassing) with a 13-inch MacBook Pro (and one of those new portable external monitors from MEDL Technology, when they become available). Since I use my laptop for storing and editing photographic images I of course want as much storage as possible on my internal HDD. I also carry an external drive for image back-up but I don’t want that to be my working drive, only back-up and portable archival storage.
So we obviously don’t have our speedy new MacBook Pro’s yet, but internal storage has just reached the magic 1-Terabyte mark (at least for Mac users in the Unites States of American and Canada). I have included a press release from TechRestore below.
