September is probably the biggest month for tech gadget giant Apple, since it's the beginning of the release of their newest products. This year, it includes the iPhone 6, a new iPad, and the iMac.
The focus on September's event, however, is the MacBook, with VCPost saying that the nifty gadget will feature Intel Broadwell chips, fanless design, as well as a new trackpad.
According to the company's announcement, as reported by VCPost: "The Intel® CoreTM M processor will deliver the most energy-efficient Intel Core processor in the company's history. The majority of designs based on this new chip are expected to be fanless ..."
But Intel's CEO, Brian Krzanich, said the chip production has been delayed, but the release will ultimately be inevitable.
Krzanich added, "I can guarantee for holiday, and not at the last second of holiday...Back to school - that's a tight one. Back to school you have to really have it on-shelf in July, August. That's going to be tough."
But for those waiting for the next MacBook, here are the top 5 features to look out for, according to IT Pro:
1. Continuity features a range of more features that allow file sharing to work across mac and other iOS devices. It also has "Handoff" which allows users to switch between their iOS devices mid-task and continue working on documents and emails. You can start with writing your email on your phone, and you can finish it on your computer (or vice versa).
2. Notifications Center will show your calendar appointments and reminders and integrate third-party apps into sidebars for customization, making it easier for you to have your day properly planned out.
3. iCloud Drive will sync and store all your files and folders in an iCloud repository. The best feature for this is that it also has a Window's client, meaning you can access any file from any PC, not just iOS-operated ones.
4. Spotlight, on the other hand will change the way you search on your MacBook. Yosemite puts a large search bar in the middle of your screen and you can search for your needed documents in your computer, with spotlight automatically searching for content from the web and listing results from Maps or Wikipedia. Of course, to avoid irrelevant results, in-line previews will also appear to help you check whether the result pulled up is relevant or not.
5. Safari's better version will act as the default web browser and stripped down to show only a minimal number of icons, and clicking on the address bar shows you your favorite websites as well as spotlight suggestions, among other things.
