A video walkthrough of Apple's newest additions (Unibody MacBook, iMac, Magic Mouse)

Oct 20th 2009 5:23PM on Engadget

Haha, no my Mac has been counting for me :)

Mac batteries have a bit of "intelligence" to them. I use a widget called IStat pro to view it's specs. With 1 click I can tell you that my battery is at 100% charge, has been through 697 cycle and has 100% health :)

No problem. And you're correct, I have not used it (but apparently, neither has he). But I have used Mac's multitouch tech, and it's not that hard.

And no, leaving 1 finger stationary is not difficult.

To each their own.

He's just moron who doesn't know how to use a mouse.

You do not need to swipe both fingers for 2 finger actions- just touch the mouse with 1 finger (holding it steady) and swipe the second finger. Not too difficult.

Seriously. My 3 year old MacBook, with the original battery (697 cycles as of today), regularly gets me 3-4 hours of use still.

Also, he's an idiot for not being able to use the mouse.

Apple's Magic Mouse: one button, multitouch gestures, Bluetooth, four-month battery life

Me too, and $69 for a highly featured mouse is not over the top.

To counter some of the points above (many are obviously opinion and not based on actual useage):
I have used a Mighty Mouse daily for almost 3 years
It is very ergonomic, fits my hand great
The build quality seems great, no issues at all
I literally use it 8-10 hours per day, and I get 6 months out of a good set of batteries

I may pick one of these up, and relegate the Mighty Mouse to home duty only!

TomTom Go I-90 integrates into any dashboard, brings radio 'infotainment'

I agree. Once you have HD, you will NEVER buy another radio without it! Not like it's expensive tech, I have a very nice Pioneer unit with full iPod control and HD and it cost like $250 about 1.5 yrs ago.

If this had HD, I would consider it at about a $500 pricepoint.

Keepin' it real fake, part CCXXXV: TigerG3 looks like a Hero, doesn't act like one

They didn't say they were iPhone features, they said they were "iPhone knock-off" features...

This would be perfect- my phone just crapped on me and my dad's digicam just broke...I promise to share with him!

Mine just crapped out on me....can't afford a new one. This must be for me! :)

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
