The biggest question that has been on the mind of not just the tech geeks in the world has if the company will still continue to ride at the top in the world of technology despite the recent passing of Steve Jobs?
Tthe time has come for the verdict to be decided because this year will meet the release of the newest version of the MacBook Pro. The burning question is, with Steve Jobs no longer heading the company, will it live up to the previously high standards of the Apple Corporation. With Jobs reportedly leaving behind a 4-year plan for Apple, it's likely it will be just like many other recent Apple releases.
The biggest thing that has been discussed about the new version of the MacBook Pro is the beautifully clear display. Apple has boasted that the world of graphics will be changed forever with the great display power of the new MacBook.
The new computer contains a Nvidia graphics chip with "unbelievable" power. According to a review on the Hardware Channel website, the chip is much more expensive than more common graphics processor chips, but it is overall one of the most powerful available - and to power a display that's almost twice as detailed as HDTV, it has to be.
The question has been brought up whether the money and effort that has been put into the graphics of the computer are actually overkill compared to the rest of the machine. Will the processor be fast enough to render ultra-HD video on the machine? How many double-the-size-of-Blu-Ray videos can you hold on just one hard drive?
The answer here is that maybe it isn't overkill. In addition to the graphics, the computer boasts an incredibly powerful quad-core processor and a ton of memory, so the power of the computer itself is not in question either.
So what are people saying about it? Users all over the Internet on technology forums are mostly positive with comments about the release, anticipating a machine that will not fail to impress.
The newest version of the MacBook Pro is set to be released in the middle of this year and will be priced between $2100 and $2800.
