The two new PCs from the bitten apple are characterized by lightness, compactness and unlimited power. And by a predilection for ecology
Not only iPad Pro 2018. From the stage in New York Apple presented (as per announcements and predictions) two new computers that go to implement and complete the product line of the house of Cupertino. In the New York morning Apple has removed the veils from the Macbook Air and Mac Mini, two devices that have long been waiting for a substantial renewal.
And renewal it was. Maybe not aesthetically, but certainly on the front of technical specifications and functionality of the two computer systems of the bitten apple. Both mount eighth-generation Intel Core processors, supported by graphics accelerators of the latest generation and several tens of gigabytes of RAM. In short, two powerful computers and performance, able to perform the most diverse operations: from writing simple texts to video editing, through photo editing and the execution of software particularly demanding. In short, two computers with high-level technical specifications and prices not exactly accessible to anyone.
How is the Macbook Air 2018: features and prices
Gifted with 100% recycled aluminum shell, the Macbook Air again wins the palm of the thinnest and lightest laptop in the family of Apple computers. Equipped with a 13.3-inch Retina Display screen (2560×1600 resolution, 16:10 format) surrounded by extremely thin bezels, the Macbook Air 2018 mounts eighth-generation Intel Core i5 processors (with integrated graphics), up to 16 gigabytes of RAM and SSDs up to 1.5 terabytes. Completing the data sheet are the T2 chip for encryption and file protection (complete with Touch ID fingerprint sensor unlocking); two Thunderbolt 3 USB type-C ports; Wi-Fi g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity. Finally, the battery provides 12 hours of continuous web browsing. Macbook Air 2018 prices start at 1,379 euros for the model with 8 gigabytes of RAM and 128-gigabyte solid-state drive, up to the 3,119 euros needed to buy the model with 16 gigabytes of RAM and 1.5 terabytes of storage space.
How is the Mac Mini 2018: features and prices
Characterized by small size and low weight (a parallelepiped about 20x20x4 centimeters large and weighing just over a kilogram), the Mac Mini 2018 hides within the 100% recycled aluminum shell an extremely powerful heart. The small house Apple mounts eighth-generation Intel Core processors (i3 and i5, specifically), up to 64 gigabytes of RAM and solid-state drives up to 1.5 terabytes. Inside are also the Intel UHD 630 graphics accelerator and the T2 chip for encryption and data protection. At the back are the various ports and connectors: 4 Thunderbolt ports (including 3 to connect to 4K and 5K displays), HDMI port, 3.5mm audio jack and Ethernet port (available in both gigabit and 10 gigabit versions).
In Italy there are two different versions of the Mac Mini: the first mounts Intel Core i3 processor, the second Intel Core i5, both customizable and configurable at the pleasure of the user. Mac Mini 2018 prices start from 939 euros needed for the model with Core i3 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and 128 gigabyte SSD until you get to 4,989 euros needed for the top-of-the-line model with Core i5 CPU, 64 GB of RAM and 1.5 TB of storage space. Remember that the price is then added to the monitor, to be purchased separately.
