The new Macbook Air : Next gen MacBooks

Advanced  technology brought in by iPad taken into air by MacBook Air
MacBook air is another machine built around all-flash storage for better and faster responsiveness and reliability. It is incredibly thin and light and its large battery gives enough power that lasts for hours.
A truly mobile device should be thin and light enough and should also be tough to be carried wherever you want with you. It should have enough power to keep up with you wherever we go.
Best feature of MacBook Air is that it doesnt have any unnecessary moving  parts.
 eg:-
1. No spinnig hard drives.
2. No optical drives.
This was all true with iPad an now its true with MacBook Air.

Flash-Storage:
MacBook Air has brought in something new. It doesnt  have a hard drive at all instead of it the new MacBook pro is designed completely around flash storage. In  MacBook Air these flash chips occupy a very few space and this make space for a larger battery which gives more power and lasts long.

Multi-Touch feature taken to next level :
No one knows multi-touch better than Apple. First brought in with Apples own iPhone then iPad and now taken to next level with Apple MacBook Air. In MacBook Air all glass touch-pad is present which is smooth to touch.

Inside a MacBook Air maximum space is used up by the battery which lasts long uptill 5 hours on 11-inch model and 7 hours on a 13-inch model.

Nokia N8 Review: Symbian ^3 and Software



Nokia N8


Nokia N8 :
It has got one of the toughest and smartest designs wehave ever seen. It has got Symbian ^3 as its operating system which has got a lot more of features bundled in it when compared to Symbian S60 5th generation.
Menu is similiar to older menu present in other Symbian S60 phones.


N8 has got three different home screens and we can switch in between them by wiping towards left, right or clicking center.
A big change which Nokia has brought is in its phone browser now it has got the capability to stream videos directly from youtube, allows you to zoom in and out images while in browser only.
Nokia N8 is very fast when multi-tasking and theres no need to tap on icons twice.
