General

It is almost incomprehensible that Apple has managed to develop a fast laptop with considerable storage space in such a small, gold-coloured casing, but it's true! The 1.2GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor delivers the necessary computing power. This is backed up by an 8GB DDR memory with a speed of 1600 MHz. A 512GB Solid State Disk should provide adequate storage space for all your media and programmes. All of the above combines to give you this fast and reliable Macbook.

MacBook Gold 1.2 GHz: controls

Due to the MacBook's compact size, which is just 13.1 mm at its thickest point, Apple developed a special keyboard that works slightly differently to save space. The result is a thin MacBook with a keyboard that is backlit and comfortable to use. The trackpad has also had an update. Thanks to extensive sensors, it is now possible to register how hard you press the trackpad, which opens up a number of opportunities for multi-touch functionality. With the Taptic Engine you also feel a click when you press anywhere on the trackpad.

Connectors

Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, this MacBook only has two connectors. One is to connect your headphones, while the other connector is extremely versatile. It's a USB-C 3.0 port used for charging the laptop. The same port is also used when you want to transfer data to an external source like a USB stick. It's also used to connect a display. Optional VGA and HDMI adapters allow you to connect an external monitor or projector. In short, it's an ideal laptop for things like presentations, and given its compact size, it's easy to take with you too!

Wednesday 29 July 2015

Recently, Apple announced the latest generation of their iPod Touch, and we already have them available for you to buy!

Last year, iOS got a major overhaul that was well received by a majority of the public. Some people did find that their iPods became a bit slower after the update to iOS 8, but Apple has already taken care of that. What's more, these new iPods have already been prepped for the impending release of iOS 9! The new iPod Touch is available in five colours: blue, pink, silver, gold and Space Grey with either 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB of storage space.

Saturday 10 September 2016 By Lizanne

As many of you know, the iPhone 7 is hitting the shelves on September 16th. Slowly but surely, we're getting an idea of what to expect. This new piece of technology is dust and splash proof, and offers the ability to record 4K video in 30 fps, which is all well and good. The most remarkable update of this new phone is the fact that it does not have a mini jack headphone output any more. Does this mean you're forced to use the included set of standard Lightning earphones? Will you have to buy an adapter if you want to listen to your tunes and charge your iPhone at the same time?
