iLife '09 Up-To-Date Program

ByMike Moffit

iLife ’09 looks like an awesome upgrade. Too bad it won’t be released until the need of the month. Fortunately, Apple has an iLife ’09 up-to-date program. If you’ve purchased a qualifying computer on or after January 6, 2009 that does not include iLife ’09, you can upgrade to iLife ’09 for US $9.95 plus tax.

Apple will administer this program, including collecting the $9.95 and shipping the iLife ’09 DVD.

More information about this is forthcoming. Please check our blog on or after Monday, January 12 for additional details!

  • New 17" MacBook Pro!

    At Macworld on Tuesday, Phil Schiller introduced a brand-new 17″ MacBook Pro. The new MacBook shares the revolutionary aluminum unibody construction offered on the MacBook and 15″ MacBook Pro. Other specs:

    * .98 inches thin
    * 6.6 pounds
    * The world’s lightest and thinnest 17-inch notebook
    * Features an LED backlit display, with 1920×1200 resolution. 700:1 contrast ratio, and 60% greater color gamut than the previous 17-inch display.
    * Apple says “This is the best display we’ve ever shipped in a notebook.”

    * 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Dual Core
    * 6MB L2 Cache
    * Up to 8GB memory at 1066 MHz DDR3.
    * Glass trackpad with four-finger gestures and multi-button support.
    * 320GB hard drive

    * Three USB ports
    * Mini DisplayPort for connecting to Apple’s new 24″ LED display
    * FireWire 800 (no 400!)
    * Digital audio in/out
    * ExpressCard slot.
    * Gigabit Ethernet
    * MagSafe power adapter (duh)

    * Built-in, non user-replaceable battery. This is an adaptive “smart battery” with built-in chips to maintain maximum charge and lifespan

    * The battery can last up to eight hours, is good for about five years, and can be charged 1000 times. It is also fully recyclable.

    * Battery life varies depending on graphics card used. With the 9600GT, battery life if seven hours. It is up to eight hours with the 9400M integrated graphics.

    * All told, this is three hours longer than the previous 17-inch MacBook Pro, equalling a 60% increase in battery life.

    * Also, for the first time with the new unibody MacBooks, Apple is offering an anti-glare option. It costs $50 more than the glossy display because the bezel has to be removed after it’s already assembled.

    * $2799.99
