迷你iPad實測

????多年來，蘋果（Apple）首次在圣何塞的加利福尼亞劇院（San Jose's California Theatre）舉辦產品發布會。和許多人預測的一樣，7.9英寸版iPad，又稱iPad Mini隆重登場。此外，13英寸高清晰視網膜版MacBook、全新設計的iMac、速度更快的下一代iPad和升級版Mac mini，也同時聯袂登臺亮相。我親身體驗了一把這些新產品，除了Mac mini，因為蘋果尚未制造出成品。以下是我的第一印象。（更多消息請稍候！）

????新款iMac。圍繞如何設計新款iMac，蘋果已醞釀了很長時間，這一次，超薄版iMac的登場讓所有人眼前一亮。蘋果營銷高級副總裁菲爾?席勒在發布會上力贊iMac的厚度——僅為5毫米。不過這只是屏幕邊緣最薄之處，在屏幕后方安裝主機的地方，厚度明顯不止5毫米。和許多博文在數月前謠傳的一樣，iMac并沒有配備視網膜顯示器。

????13英寸視網膜版MacBook Pro。我敢肯定你們之前見過這家伙，不是嗎？新款13英寸視網膜版MacBook Pro和年初推出的15英寸版幾乎如出一轍。當然，它的尺寸要小些。更大的驚喜是其纖薄的外形和3.5磅（1.6千克）剛剛出頭的重量。與老版本相比，它的厚度薄了20%，重量則輕了足足1磅（0.45千克）。拿在手里，區別很明顯。不過，新款MacBook Pro比13英寸MacBook Air還是重了半磅（0.22千克）左右，但性能要強勁許多。售價1,699美元的基礎版搭載了2.5GHz英特爾（Intel）雙核酷睿i5處理器、8G內存、128GB閃存和續航高達7小時的電池。一機在手，想必每天的工作都能游刃有余，即便是更多的活也不在話下。

????For the first time in years, Apple (AAPL) held a product unveiling at San Jose's California Theatre and, as many predicted, the company delivered. It unveiled a 7.9-inch version of the iPad, dubbed the iPad mini. Also on display: a 13-inch MacBook with a high-resolution Retina Display, redesigned iMac, faster 9.7-inch-sized iPad, and updated Mac minis.

????I managed to spend some time with every product save the Mac mini, which was not made available. Here are some first impressions. (More to come!)

????New iMac.A redesign for the iMac has been a long time coming, and Apple appears to have hit a home run by making it significantly thinner. On stage, Senior Vice President of Marketing Phil Schiller was quick to point out that it's 5 millimeters, which it is -- but only at the display's edges. Where the computer base meets the display, it's significantly thicker. The computer also lacks a Retina Display, a rumor the blogs had been kicking around in the last few months.

????13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display.You'd be forgiven for thinking you've seen this notebook before because chances, are you have. The new 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display looks nearly identical to the 15-inch version Apple rolled out earlier this year, only of course, smaller. More impressive than the fact that it's 20% thinner is the weight. Hovering just over 3.5 lbs., this MacBook Pro is 1 lb. lighter than predecessors, and it feels it. In fact, it's just half a pounder heavier than the 13-inch MacBook Air, but with significantly faster parts. The $1,699 base model includes a 2.5 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8 gigabytes of RAM, 128 GB of flash storage, and 7 hours of battery life. Everyday tasks zipped along, but I have more once I get my hands on a review unit.
