Awhile back, the internet was all abuzz over an Apple launch event, with pre-launch rumors swirling around that Apple would be introducing their refreshed lineup of laptop computers, a vague reference to a US$899 item listed in a US store’s inventory, as well as something called the ‘brick’.
As it turned out, the bulk of the pre-launch rumors proved correct. Apple had introduced new MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops, as well as an LED-backlit 24-inch Apple Cinema display (priced at US$899 over the United States), while the ‘brick’ proved to be a reference to Apple’s new way of manufacturing their laptop chassis, being milled out of entire blocks of aluminum.
Earlier today, journalists in Singapore had the opportunity to check out the new releases (for the most part) for ourselves, despite the fact that official specifications, images and whatnot were already available online since the launch in other parts of the world a couple of days ago. Nevertheless, this was a hands-on opportunity too good to pass up.
Unfortunately for us though, while the new and refreshed MacBook and MacBook Pro were both available for us to paw over, the new Cinema Display and MacBook Air weren’t.
