New MacBook Pro's, iPad Mini and iPad Air

Apple today unveiled new 13" and 15" Retina MacBook Pros, which include the latest Intel processors.  The 13-inch version features a Haswell processor, while the 15-inch version comes equipped with a Crystal Well processor.

Unfortunately - Apple have discontinued the standard 15" MacBook Pro.  Studiomacs will continue to sell pre-used MacBook Pro units should you require any in the future.

Apple also announced changes to the iPad and iPad Mini range.  The iPad Mini now features a 7.9" Retina Display, the new 64 bit A7 Processor and an upgraded 5 megapixel rear camera.  The capacity has also increased to a maximum 128Gb

Apples 5th Generation iPad - The iPad Air features a new thinner, lighter and smaller bezel.  It also includes the 64 bit A7 Processor offering over twice the CPU and graphic performance of the 4th Gen iPad.

Mac Rumours

Later today (22nd October) Apple will hold its latest event, which has sent the rumour mill into overdrive.

The invites that we're sent out featured the tagline "we still have a lot to cover". It's fairly certain then that this event will feature updates to the iPad Mini, and it is likely that they will feature a Retina display and a design similar to the recently released iPhone 5c.

We may also see the release of the iPad 5th generation, which is expected to include features such as TouchID as seen on the recent iPhone 5s.  I expect that we will also see a gold edition of the iPad.

There is also talk of an updated MacBook Pro including the latest Haswell chip, however I am not convinced as I predict this will happen after this event.  I dont think Apple will want to deflect attention away from the main focus of Maverick release date, iPad Mini and iPad 5th Gen.

The event takes place this evening (GMT).  Stay hooked to read the latest releases and news from the event.
