computers and devices

Ronald Wayne established Apple, and in July of that
year the first Apple computer went on sale for
$666.66...
• This morning we are going look at the computers
and devices that Apple make and sell today in
2012. This slideshow was created with Keynote,
an Apple software program similar to Powerpoint.

3. Apple Inc sell desktop
computers, laptops, the
iPod, the iPad, the
iPhone and the
company owns iTunes.

4. The iMac family are the cream of the crop when it comes to Apple desktop
computers.
• Top of the pile is this all singing all
dancing 27” monster which will set you
back a cool €1829 !
• It has a whopping 8GB RAM, 1TB hard
drive, built-in form factor (internals are
built behind the screen).
• It has the software suites iWork and iLife
installed as standard.
• Wireless Bluetooth keyboard and
mouse.

5. MacBooks.
• MacBooks are the
entry level for
many into the
Apple way of
computing and
though they are
considerably more
expensive than
“normal” laptops,
the reputation and
reliability of these
little gems ensures
they sell in their
millions every year.

6. The MacBook Air
The MacBook Air was first
unveiled in 2008 and is a first
in that it has a solid state
hard drive as opposed to the
more traditional disc based
models. What that means is
that the Air notebook is
extremely light and is less
prone to HDD failure due to
no moving parts in the
storage department.

7. Mac Mini
The Mac Mini retails for around €700 but does not come with a
monitor. A lot of people use it as a media streamer/server,
connecting it directly to their TV and viewing content directly
from the Internet or from another Apple computer elsewhere in
the home. This device came on-stream in 2005.

13. 13
•I like Apple computers...I think
they are far easier to use, last
longer, are free of virus
attacks...the downside for many is
the initial cost of buying into the
Apple Way of doing things.
