New iPad Review

In turn, the new iPad improved image quality is obvious. It is the first perception that one has to test the new Apple tablet. The company has been paid to the new iPad that Friday is offered for sale in Spain and Mexico, among a score of countries. In appearance it is exactly like its predecessor: the same design, same size, about the same weight. The display technology dubbed Retina turns any photo into something worth seeing. Okay, only improves the definition, but does so in a way that invites you to visit photography websites again and again.

The new quad-core processor shines especially with the games, of course, but also when editing photos and videos. iPhoto and iMovie have won more points to spend (3.99 euros each). The issue is much more subtle and detailed when you join the new iPad software and the latest generation.

Would I buy it?


Investing in a device whose price starts at 499 euros worth a thought. The latest data from IDC announced a collapse of the laptops in front of the tablets, especially the iPad, during 2012. Perfect for children and seniors, not to turn on the computer when I get home, to make presentations or attend meetings. Who bought the first iPad in 2010, no camera, thicker and heavier, and operating system limitations, it has strong arguments to pass the old tablet to children. The fact that less than a year ago took the iPad 2 only notice the difference with multimedia applications, this is sensible, in reading texts.

Which is awaiting a final tablet may take the plunge. The camera, while not the best on the market, falls short. You can go on a trip with just the iPad, save HD video and five megapixel photos, browse and reply to mail, without having to carry multiple devices.

It is no coincidence that Apple runs on its website to include a department for assessment and repurchase of old models. Anyone wishing to be trendy and shed their previous tablet can be understood as a grant to renovate.

You could say that the new tablet is more focused on content consumption, such as movies, books, newspapers and magazines, that creation. Applications such as iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers or Keynote claim so, but has yet to improve the management of several programs, time is lost going from one to another, and still not the most appropriate device to write a long text probably never will be.

The next frontier that Apple wants to attack is to video games. Having industry executives during the presentation was a declaration of intent. When you run FIFA 12, GTA III or Sonic Racing can appreciate the excellent performance of its quad-core graphics processor. During the demonstration of Apple opted for a battle between aircraft with Air Supremacy by Namco.

It would be nice for the next model will extend life of the battery (still 10 hours), lighten the weight (just over 650 grams) and was still a little thinner. The consumer who does not have a future price cuts. There is no reason Apple sells everything you want and your competition is determined to put it. So given the choice very difficult not to opt for iPad.

Unlike what happens in English, French, Japanese or German, in Spanish can not dictate directly to the tablet. There is also no schedule.

Applications to get the most out of the new iPad


Vogue and The New York Times were the first media switch to high definition. However, older applications work as in the previous Cases.

Garage Band, a music creation program, but add new strings, it has become more interactive. Now lets make jam sessions, something like sessions with various musicians at a time and then play the result.

Electronic Arts has released an adaptation of Real Racing 2 HD. Star Walk, a stroll through the stars, widely used in education to teach astronomy, self worth, now is much more detailed and immersive. iStopMotion, which costs more than seven euros, makes movies from photos with ease.

In general, almost all applications in high definition are adaptations of what new iPad had. Presumably soon appear in iTunes, the software store, songs, books and movies, native to further exploit the power of the tablet.

On Monday, the criticism began, timidly, in forums of the manufacturer. Some U.S. customers believe that the device gets too hot. (Based on comprehensive analysis, two degrees). Especially when connected to 4G networks, which in Europe, for lack of this technology will not happen. In a blog specializing in Mac explains that the charging process is somewhat slower, especially if it is plugged into the mains and running tasks at the same time.

The new iPad goes on sale in Spain on Friday. In the U.S., Germany, France and the UK was released on 16. In less than a week has surpassed three million units sold.

Review iPad 3 Performance

Apple says the iPad 3  "four times faster than the chip Tegra 3", competitor Nvidia. If the statement is true, many wonder. First test results provide answers, at least partial.


Vietnamese site Tinhte published the first benchmark results, which are not at the level of Apple's claims. Using the Geekbench benchmark that measures the performance of floating point operations, a test of memory and processing stream reveals that "brute force", which offers 1.0 GHz ARMv7 A5X of dual-core CPU remained the same from previous generations . At the same time, it is confirmed definitively that the new iPad 3 comes with 1 GB of internal memory RAM, which is double what is already installed.

What then is left to allegations of Apple? The graphics and GPU core is what distinguishes the new creation of Apple's competition. GPU is actually variant formerly known SGX543MP2 PowerVR chips, which comes under the label SGX543MP4. To make this chip is known to charge Imagination Technologies, a specialist in the field of graphics for notebooks. The theoretical maximum that provides SGX543MP4 MPolygon 134/4 is GPixel / s fill rate.

You should also know that the tests were conducted by well-known site that AnandTech showed that the past generation iPad Tablet PC was faster than 30 to 80 percent of the Tegra 3 graphics in certain situations. If Apple kept its promise to accelerate the existing core, one would expect that the graphics performance to some extent be the order of the promise of "four times better performance than the Tegra 3."

Note here also that the above is a "clock watch" comparison, since Tegra actually clocked higher speed, the difference is further reduced by a higher frequency of Nvidia chip.

Apple preparing MacBook Air 15-inch

MacBook-Air-apple
According to reports, Apple is preparing to expand its MacBook Air ultra-thin design beyond the market segment of 13 inches.

Macotakara site has announced that the new laptop has already entered its test phase.

It remains uncertain whether the new computer will be an addition to the series of the MacBook Air (which currently offers 11 models and 13 inches), or be a new MacBook Pro
MacBook Pro


According to reports published in July, the new model will be part of the line MacBook Pro Presumably the new ultra thin laptop will have no optical drive, this would coincide with the current characteristics of the line MacBook Air. It would also be very interesting if Apple Air to expand its line of 17 inches. While there is already a good number of ultrabooks Windows 11 and 13 inches in the market, we can find some models between 15 and 17 inches as the Dell Latitude Z is only 2 inches thick and 16-inch screen.

Of course the big question is: When is it available? Does the first quarter of 2012 or until the second quarter?
