What I'd like to see on this year's MacBook Pros

What the Tech Analyst would love to see about Pro's this year

The suspense is building and apple has to act according to it's manifesto. July last year was such a dear but not the way i expected it to be. wwdc was mind blowing, showcasing it's Macbook-pro with retina display as a punching update ever seen from previous presentations. The pro survived a heating notch by 89.9%, killing the thinner MacBook air PC with a desperate 55.5%. Great features propelled somewhat acceptance from fanatics like i who greatly wished to see last years keynote a day to remember. June 11-15th 2012 wwdc was a week everybody had been waiting for. I expected to unearth varieties especially from PC franchise upgrades. The MacBook-pro brought with it an eye catching incarnation. The 15-inch sized laptop, thicker with it's uncluttered aluminium coat glued specs of high-end design that made it a super-pro! SSDs, fusion drive legacy, retina display & with of no debate a whooping 768 Gigs of flash packed (an increase from 512 Gigs that the Air punched). This year i would love to see the pro & infact ranging from the desktop to it's laptop. Last time we saw apple debuting a DT-pro was way back in 2010. Apple, with views from many have criticized it's mode of production and i think it's high time Tim Cook shows some love to residents of California , CA.  This year, am rather obliged that Phil Schiller  will at least do me a favor if the items am to list below showcase's the world-wide-conference in style -- Here's what i would want to see!

4th Generation Network - Let the shooting star pass at glance as i pen this on screen.....I was dead wrong when i thought the 15-inch MacBook-Pro will shade light on 4G network. Apple has presumably laid hands on the iPad & forgot that the pro's also has a chip-set number to consider. off-course the iPad has embraced 4G but why should we have the Pro taking the ice-cream share of the network? I mean it's not a bad idea seeing the 4G dream landing on the big Pro! after all, do any of PC manufacturing company deployed such an idea to test?

Optional Retina Display and YES on a thinner Pro - It's high time apple up it's game by taking note of designing a thinner pro. The 15-inch Pro possess glacier outright look, elegant & perhaps higher specs but adjusting it to a thicker base gives it a stone-age design. This year i'd need to see a thinner Pro  but then having optional retina display, yeah! what i mean is, it should come in variety for consumer to opt for. Let one machine maintain the retina display while the other favor a line of consumer grouping. Not everyone needs a Mac with a killing tag of $2,199 in price. Apple, please offer a variety.

A bigger Track-Pad - Believe it or not apple's introduction to a multi-touch on a bounded small track-pad isn't epic. How do you see of a smaller track-pad especially on a bigger 15-inch Pro? Maybe technically am spoiled! Expanding the track-pad on the Pro would as well welcome more & prevail a big consumer catch.

A Larger, non-SSD Drive - pro users want larger hard-drive space. This doesn't come as a by the way but what am sure of is, if you own a laptop then am afraid you'll be invoking the spirit of downloading HD movies, photos & even high-resolution clipped videos. Currently the Pro comes with an SSD all imagined to have 768 Gigs of flash in capacity. I assume this guzzles more on power whereas Intel is facing out power hungry processors perhaps soon. Instead of i going to purchase an external hard-drive that spins at high speed & guzzles almost 30Amp of power (Mark-you am in town showing off my project to my boss) & off the Pro grinds to an halt, won't this mean incompetence?

So what exactly do i want? - It won't be fare to judge this year's apple production but the four highlighted ideas if kept in place will insanely boost apple's line of margin with a hitting scale factor, maybe to predict, 60.25%+ (up) from last years line of margin that clocked 50.42%. To sum-up everything i need an economical, robust & most likely a turning head MacBook-Pro design that will favor the whole being of what a PC needs to be because if it wasn't for Apple's team i wouldn't have touched MacBook's lineup of design.

- Wait! "I've one more thing for you today". Watch the MacBook-Pro surviving a torture through hasty conditions & off-course we want apple to maintain such a durable product like this one this year!

128 GB on the 4th generation iPad? : Apple isn't palying fair to it's Air.

 Mac book air - early 2006 - late may 2011 branded design

Commentary:- Earlier on Wednesday apple confirmed it, through a press release, 4th generation of the iPad will be coming handy with 128 Gigs in capacity. Of course apple isn't playing fair here. Same company with two products on stage, yet a cut-off for one. Why this way? The Mac Book Air posses variety & tremendous features that outsources the 4th generation iPad. If i was to choose today between the Air & 128GB 4th generation iPad,  i would automatically concede positively with the air. Myself am inclined to both movies & music as my favs'. Having 64GB capacity slate on a stunning device like the Mac book isn't slotting logic across the minds of many analysts. Microsofts' store is today, chronologically packed with tablets that posses same 128 GB on board. Individuals, especially business staffs have had the perfect functionality that makes air a gorgeous device to close fiscal year with. Am yet to understand why cutting yummy binaries for the iPad is that essential where as the air gets a 60GB off. From the statistics margin, apple has about up to 60% of OS X users that offsets 35% of the iPad as the final pie. What does this mean? many are on the line gulfing on-line storage with the benefit of having vital data such as photos, documents & as well keynotes created from iPhones/i Macs stored on the cloud. 60GB on the air is extremely insane especially when i can't swipe the device with a slice of an SSD slate drive. It's again ridiculous when a company like Apple is chasing for the bottom rather than the top. Is it because Exxon Mobil Inc made proper growth worth $498.5 thus making it tail hot as a looser? Fine, with 128 gigs on the IPad isn't a bad idea as Toni Sacconaghi - (Wall street Apple's Best Analyst)  puts it but what of the air? We've seen an integration not only in the US but then, globally. The Mac book's taking best in profit. Consumers find both products excellent. If apple isn't going to clench & give close examinees to it's air then let the company be prepared for total deprive from it's consumers. The air is still a device that consumers & businesses  look up to & that doesn't mean the iPad is left off the radius, what's tangling consumers to apple's device is rather the space & not the design as well.  Most other Windows laptops start with 128GB SSDs. It's time for the Air to follow suit, too.        

Avoid system loop - The EFI MacBook update is here.

31-july-2013 EFI Update

Today's News: It's thursday 31st-july-2013 when Apple just announced that it'll be rolling out it's EFI firmware update to it's Macbook Air, Macbook Pro users globally. The update comes after many posted complaints attaching glitches & disappointments they've undergone either when, surfing the web, performing system's update or playing HD movies only to be prompted with a nagging message that quotes "system point on halt, attempting critical shutdown". Others incurred no problems but unexpected closure of system apps which possessed red flags of the same. The EFI released today counts on destined area of these laptops' Air & Pro's. Most importantly red balms of battery. Apple adds you satisfaction when the battery on your laptop performs most likely above 1000 potential cycle (The cycle here takes note of a single charge, clocking 1 cycle of which later adds/counts to 1 full charge). Currently you'll need to perform the update under two phases where one seems convenient:

Phase 1 --- Through simple, Apple navigation

Convenient:  Myself, performed this a couple of times when such update came into light. I find this method rather easy than pointing your browser to eligible links which may later confirm your update unsuccessful or change in technicality. What you have to do is first check the number of cycle your system indicates on OS power management.

Click the Apple icon on-top of your OSX bar > About this Mac > More info > System Report. (Then click on power on the left side & you'll see cycle counts best displayed on the right)

Now, with regard of the cycles your system displays on power management, of-course numerics provided will tell whether your update is to be performed or not. Below 1000 (Number scale from 200>720) confirms a full update of either your MacBook pro  or MacBook air. With hopes that you've fully collected the information needed, let's perform the update (Convenient phase):

Just click on the apple logo on your OSX top, gray bar. Navigate to updates/system updates & ensure no sequence of whatever case is running at the background. Now click on update & you'll be brought to such a screen.

Now click on install 1 item & that's all - It's that's easy. 1st phase completed. For those in need of manual update, well, I've that for you also. Am going to give this but then, you'll have to check details with your system. Just point your browser & wait as your EFI update makes relevant patches. A progression bar will be given, most probably at the periphery of your OS power management:

       ~  MacBook EFI  SMC update firmware update 1.5
       ~  MacBook Pro SMC firmware Update 1.6
       ~  MacBook Air SMC Update 1.8
