As we all expected Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), today presented its new Mac software, the departure of the new Macbook Pro and has remarked the power of new Mac Pro also putting the departure date. In addition to all this, he has released his new line of iPads.
The news of the new tablets were to be expected. What no one expected was the new name of the iPad, iPad Air, to name the fifth generation.
Surname of Air comes for its lightness and its extra thin shell, so much so that you can hide behind a pencil, as we have seen in one of the demonstration videos.
Lets start by the beginning.
Apple has presented what's new in OSX Mavericks, many of which were already known from the previous presentation, but the most remarkable thing is that this time it will not cost anything, yes, the system download will be free for all Mac users.
Mavericks also includes a number of new features, including a new iCloud keychain feature to save passwords across iOS and Mac devices, the new iBooks and Maps apps, along with the redesign of user interface for a number of built-in applications, notably iLife with a design according to iOS 7 and iWork. All Returns for buyers of new devices.
We must highlight the improved connectivity between applications and devices. During the iWork demo we have been able to verify that two users can modify the same document at the same time from iCloud and instantly.
As for portable we have to highlight the new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros with Retina displays and with processors Haswell, which dramatically improve performance and battery life. Regarding the format, they keep the same as their predecessors. It should be noted that the price has reduced by about $ 200.
The 13-inch MacBook now costs $ 1.299 and the 15-inch model $ 1.999. They are already available in the store.
Then he went to presentation of Mac Pro. Will go out to end of the year and has been assembled in the United States. The assembly has been shown by a video of the assembly process.
"The new Mac Pro is our vision for the future of the desktop computer, everything has been reinvented and there has never been anything like this," said Philip Schiller, Apple's vice president of marketing. “The new Mac Pro has a FirePro dual-GPU 12-core Xeon CPU, ultra-fast ECC memory, new PCIe storage flash and Thunderbolt 2 expansion, is a radical new design and is eight times smaller than the previous generation of Mac Pro «.
The basic model will be $ 2999, being able to add other features. The new Mac Pro supports three displays with 4k resolution.
arrive turn of the iPads. Molding fifth generation has been baptized as iPad Air, since it is lighter than its predecessors. Their appearance is more in line with the iPad Mini. As for the technical characteristics, there have not been many surprises, because like the iPhone 5s, it includes the chip A7 and the 64 bits, they do it faster. Battery lasts 10 hours. The both WiFi and mobile connectivity has been improved, including two antennas for compatibility with LTE technology.
The colors in which it is offered are white / silver and black / gray, like the iPhone but without the gold color of the latter.
The price will be the same, $ 499 for the 16GB. In terms of capacities, it will be available until 128 GB with a price of $ 799, these are for the WiFi version, for those that incorporate 4G technology will be $ 129 more for each model.
El iPad Air will replace the fourth generation iPadBut Apple will continue to sell the iPad 2 for $ 399 for the 16GB model. Along with the iPad Air, Apple has also announced new Smart Covers more colors designed to fit the smaller chassis.

It's the turn for him iPad Mini. It was something we all expected and it was the iPad Mini with retina display.
Another detail to highlight is that it will be slightly thicker and that the departure date will be in November but the exact date is not yet known.
The technical characteristics, includes a processor 64 bit with A7 chip, just like the iPad Air.
The camera iSight rear will feature 5 megapixels and with backlighting and the ability to record 1080p HD video.
Meanwhile, the part front of the device now features a new FaceTime HD camera with more pixels and dual microphones. It will also be 2x faster on Wi-Fi networks and with LTE technology. The battery life will be 10 hours.
Prices with the retina display have risen: the 16GB iPad Minid will be $ 399
There will also be a 128GB iPad Mini.
Apple will continue to sell the existing iPad mini at a lower price, offering just the 16GB at $ 299 for Wi-Fi and $ 429 for Wi-Fi + 4G.
This Keynote has not had something groundbreaking, since the new features of the iPad were to be expected and they have only surprised us with the change of name, but even so I have to say that the new products exceed those already in the markets and that their speed and lightness, both in the iPad and the MacBook will be the envy of everyone. The highlight has been the price's drop of its new products and gratuity the new software and the iLife and iWork packages, something we celebrate.
