what is up guys 16 here with yet another episode of d3 live and today we're going to be talking about the new macbook air refresh so of course if you haven't been keeping up with it it looks like in the next week or so perhaps even the next few days Apple will be releasing the brand new MacBook Airs now of course the original macbook air which came out around a year or so ago has been really well received your had good prices much better than the original macbook years and the designs are they were absolutely top notch by it's probably one of my favorite laptop designs of all time just just across the board period but now looks like they're going to be doing some refreshes now of course on the good side they're not going to be doing anything as far as the hardware goes so we should have the same designs the same very small 11 and 13 inch designs on the macbook airs but where it will differ is some of the internals so of course we should have the mini DisplayPort remove and swapped out with a Thunderbolt Thunderbolt port of course Thunderbolt works pretty much the exact same as many DisplayPort was the added bonus of being able to be a really really really fast interconnect on top of that it also will have some big internal changes including the new Sandy Bridge processors so one of the only major problems with the macbook air when it first came out the fact that came with a core 2 duo processor if you have been keeping up with Intel and CPUs and all the concept it's basically it's kind of old I believe it came out couple years ago certainly not the fastest that you can get in a even a nice thin light laptop so it looks like they will be replacing those with the new core i5 some core i7s stars like my little be one core i5 model and there will be two core i7 models and of course you can pick me an 11 inch and 13 inches all that kind of stuff so you definitely should to get a lot more processing power in the new back book airs which should be very very helpful if you're interested in doing video editing or doing any kind of thing that's hardcore on the macbook air it will make it much much faster now beyond that I don't see a ton of changes I hope that we would see full gigabytes of RAM standard in the macbook air that's one thing two good bites in a thousand all computer it's a little cheap especially since you really can't get at it yourself and you'll upgrade and whatnot so I really like to see if they can upgrade it to four gigabytes and most likely we will probably just see the integrated graphics in the core i5 and i7 I don't really see them adding any kind of dedicated solution but you never know beyond that I expected pretty much everything should stay the same so like I said 11 inch 13 inch she'll should still see the same keyboards they may be backlit but I wouldn't really count on that and the prices should hopefully stay the same although I wouldn't be surprised if the 13 inch does get bumped up a little bit on the high end if you choose to get the very maxed out core i7 model for the second segment III live we're taking live questions from everyone in the chat so of course every episode d3 life is filming from the live audience we've got quite a few people in the room right now so let's just take a couple of questions do anything released a tiny 64 gigabyte version again yeah I wouldn't be surprised I mean even though that's not a ton of storage for a laptop like the macbook here which is really thin really light not totally meant to be a normal system that's going to you know be carrying all your data and everything around you is typically you're going to have some kind of storage elsewhere outside the computer I think 64 gigabytes is okay considering it does have a solid state drive in fact it's one of the great things about the macbook air is that it does have that solid state drive which just makes it so much faster so much snappier so much more responsive than a typical laptop would be so even though 64 gigabytes is certainly not a lot I think a lot of people can get by with that and I think it's definitely worth it to get into that low one thousand dollar price point which is that technically that low but it keeps it from getting any higher than that I suppose am I going to buy the ipod touch 5th generation perhaps I'm not sure I try not to decide if I'm going to buy anything before I actually see the information see oh it's got this and that and you know kinda get a little bit more information because now all we have mostly as rumors but more than likely i probably will i do like the ipod touch it's a pretty handy little device so yeah i'll wait and see but more than likely i will house a new macbook air compete with new laptops well i think the macbook air is really it almost sounds kind of like gold with cheesy but i think it really almost is in a class of its own there is really no other laptop that you can buy that has the same thinness in the same excellent excellent design i mean there are other thin laptops but a lot of them are just not a lot of them I've never seen any other laptop that is built as nicely as you know thin across the board is light and it's just so well-built I mean not built a plastic reading like that it's built out of aluminum and so there are other laptops that are you know go was instead of light out Scott specs whatever but I don't think that there is a laptop on the market today that can match it is well in specs and price and desire I just don't think that's possible so I really it's kind of hard to say oh that's you know I can compare it to this or that so yeah I think that hopefully answers your question I just think the macbook air is a fantastical laptop especially once it gets these new additions what are the advantages between opera and chrome which is better one thing I will be doing a browser test you guys are familiar i do browser test from time to time on my channel when new stuff comes out and so more than likely i'll be doing at sometime next week a browser test between operim chrome so i don't want to get into which is better just yet hopefully the browser test will help answer that question but i will say the new version of opera 11.5 is fantastic i really really like it on this couple of new features as far as a speed dial and that kind of stuff but i really like us to you why it's a lot cleaner it's a lot more sleep a little bit smaller before i thought it's kind of a little bit too big almost cartoonish really big like chrome is but they really pared it down i think they did a great job so i'm really looking forward to testing out opera as far as you know the specs and that specs but the the x and scores not kind of stuff but just right off the bat i really do like opera source that designer not kind stuff goes will it be new close to the new macbook air well there was a rumor that we may be getting a black macbook gear of course if you guys are not familiar typically laptops apple laptops used to be just white and then they came out with the aluminum ones which reports were kind of silver but they were there was editor at one time a black macbook air macbook original macbook just just straight macbook i near the plastic one there was a black version of that how old they don't make that anymore but there was a wisdom talk they may be bringing that back with the macbook air which I you know the standard kind of silver aluminum finish as well as some kind of black personally comment the backlit keyboard I think it's possible but I wouldn't definitely a plan on getting one man it very well might happen but like I said I'm not really sold on it's definitely definitely gonna be able to see that anyway guys that's it for this week's episode III live
