Apple Event 14th October

So here are my long overdue thoughts on the october 14th apple event and the new macbooks.
The reason why this blog post is overdue is because I needed some time to align my thoughts and opinions appropriately before I published them on the internet. At first with all honesty I didn’t like the new macbook’s at all, I think this was because It was “new” and it needed some adjusting too as most people will with most occurrences. This might seem as a bit excessive to be so in depth about the style of a laptop, but the truth is that apple is ahead of the technology market in terms of style and perfection (not to say apple are perfect, no one is) but an image change could influence how people view apple as a company. I think I wasn’t an immediate die-hard fan of it because I’m used to apple being having quite a basic dress code, for a while most their products have had a glossy “plexiglass” look and thats how I find them appealing (apart from my macbook pro which is all silver aluminum) but apple have started to incorporate black into their products more; such as the 07 imac with the black bezel, all black iphones (which a majority of people thought would be white/silver), the mba with black keypads and now the entire macintohs range has formed to this new style with the new cinema displays.
I understand now I’m probably not making much sense but these are my overall thoughts on the event. Just to make it clear though I do actually like the new apple designs though it must have taken more time for steve jobs’ reality distortion field to make its way over the atlantic.
