Macbook Air 13 "2011
In 2011, Apple updated its line scale Macbook Air. Laptops, which were previously regarded as many assistants companion business people now claim to be the main working machine. Here's how to describe their impressions of the Air St. George Roman in September:
In the world of Windows-laptops Air has no analogues and that's it. At least for myself, I do not see such. A tiny, quiet, cool laptop with great performance for its weight and size performance with class display excellent backlit keyboard, trackpad chic, very good battery life and an aluminum housing.

iMac 27 "2011
Monoblock Apple flaunts a truly luxurious screen 27-inch IPS-matrix with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels. After testing the computer, we have come to this conclusion:
excellent computer: quiet, powerful, beautiful, takes a minimum of working space, though quite expensive (about $ 2100). But on set of characteristics unique iMac not. Of course, it is possible for the same money to collect much more powerful Windows-based PCs, but it alone - a great humming box (or buzzing when to spend on high-quality cooling system), separately - a monitor separately - speakers, a tangle of wires, while the iMac in a wire one.

MacBook Pro 15 "2011
Externally, the Macbook Pro does not differ from the models of the past. However, in 2011, Apple has seriously increased productivity "professional line". The truth here is not so simple:
In terms of performance review, the notebook, the experience is mixed. Still, having worked with the SSD, to return to a mechanical hard Winchester. On the one hand, the photos in iPhoto or in Pixelmator are processed incredibly quickly. Video editing in iMovie - it's just a song after Air. Loading pages in Safari is very fast and smooth scrolling. Even, it seems that the windows overtighten softer, perhaps, or maybe a feature of Lion, or tricks of my imagination. But on the other hand, the launch of applications is pretty slow compared to the not so bright, but very small Air. The difference in speed is great and very noticeable to the eye, because it is not some sort of percentage - start programs takes place much faster on SSD.

MacBook Pro 13 "2011
MBP 13 "- the most controversial model in the line of Apple notebooks. Comparing with the Air ", concluded:
Apple has come it is time to seriously upgrade range MacBook Pro. It is both a design and a standard stuffing. Tired of the planned upgrade of the company's professional notebook on the background of the fabulous iPhone, iPad and Air. Give people display with IPS-matrix and increased resolution, the SSD as standard, the video card is not from Intel. Down optical drive of the 13-inch model, down from the screen or glass apply to it any matte layer. A little because to be happy, and it is achievable even now, but a lot of money.

SmartCover
Case SmartCover Apple began to create at the same time with the iPad 2. Many companies were confident that the third-party accessories detract from the appearance of devices, gadgets make themselves more difficult and less comfortable to use.
Why do you need Smart Cover, if you already have a case? Firstly, this accessory is just cool. As expressed by one of my good friend, if you do not want the iPad 2, then you definitely want Smart Cover. Secondly - it is very convenient stand and only for this function it is possible to get.
I do not know who came up with the Apple Smart Cover - Jonathan Ive or unknown to the public the designer, but this man is a genius, and as such geniuses work in the company, it will continue to surprise his bold decisions and a year to offer people a little technological marvel. After all of this we love Apple.
