• NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M DDR3 2GB Video Graphics/Card
• 2.38kg Weight 

Alright now let's tell you the difference in these 3 special edition laptops, The basic and importance difference is of RAM where the first one deals with 4GB Of primary memory, The second one has twice of it i.e 8GB and the 3rd one has 6GB of RAM.

Hard disk is equal in all 3 laptops, But the 3rd Laptops differs for 2 Main reason from first two -

1) It has a 14.0 inch screen as compared to 15.6 inch display of first two laptops.
2) It uses Graphic card from NVIDIA having configuration of GT 640M  as compared to the AMD manufactured Radeon HD 7730M.

There is 1 Year Complete Cover Accidental Damage Protection with Premium Phone Support for all these laptops. The 14 inch also offers retail support.

Apple's Macbook segment is always seen as Trademark of Quality notebooks and enhanced features and with the probable rumors of no more 17 inch Macbook's the release of Apple's Ultra Thin New Macbook Pro 2012 with Ivy Bridge i5, i7 is getting more likely and stronger with iOs 6 as well WWDC 2012.

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference tracing the origin from 2008 with launch of App store is usually taken as a very reputable event across the whole world where one can witness amazing developers competing and also some real time updates and releases from the company itself.

Apple iPhone5 Expected Features,Specifications,Price and Launch Date.

The tickets for WWDC 2012 are already finished as updated on the Official website and well for those who are not attending it this article of mine would be focusing on 2 Major things that might be released in that very event.

Macbook Pro 2012

Few months ago i shared almost everything that one wanted to know about features and some facts one could expect of the New Macbook Pro which was very well received by you readers. Continuing from where i left the launch of the Apple Macbook pro 2012 is no longer an Apple related event rather it is about to bring a great competition and revolution in the Ultrabook market. 

Ultrabooks as said at the beginning of year are about to go more centralized and Intel's effort in increasing their popularity and demand can be seen by everyone. The interesting thing has been the reduction of cost to considerable & affordable amounts making it available to a large amount of buyers.

Apple's Ultra Thin New Macbook Pro 2012 with Ivy Bridge i5, i7 Expected features.

Apple has never made any cost cut with its quality and price and till date does not even seems to, but seeing a forceful entry in the Ultrabook market with Apple's name and much affordable prices might be a really great strategy.

The news and rumors as per what i have received is to be of lower prices as compared to previous macbook's and the launch to be some where around following the Third quarter (Q3) of 2012.

iOs6

Can anyone forget the launching event of The New iPad back in March? Probably not and since then the tech world is awaiting something new from Apple. The much speculated thing is the release of the next version of iPhone operating system making it iOs 6. However it is pretty certain it won't be available that soon and should be up by the end of 2012 or last quarter.

However the release statement of WWDC 2012 makes it pretty clear that it will witness a new version of iOs with Apple claiming and looking to make it a more success than what it has been in recent years amongst the developers and users.

Last time SIRI had taken the whole world aback and there will be no points for guessing if we can witness something more amazing this occasion.

NFC, iCloud and iTv are other things that are being highly looked upon. I hope to keep my readers updated with this and to discuss with them their expectations and doubts below.

When it comes to quality and design in terms of Tablets,smartphones,notebooks, The only name that comes in mind is Apple. Apple has always concentrated on quality and carried a brand of its Products in the whole gadgets market with iPod,iPad,iPhone and Its Mac series .

Apple has already launched the New iPad this year to start off its year and now is coming the rumors of much expected the Next generation MacBook Pro 2012.

Key Features of Macbook Pro 2012

Processor

Being the key thing in a Dekstop or a Laptop Processor is the one that everyone would look at before buying. The Next generation MacBook Pro 2012 aims to provide a faster and thrilling experience of speed and performance with new Ivy Bridge i5, i7 processors claiming an approximate of 20% increase in performance as compared to the Sandy Bridge models with a total of 30% improvement in graphics performance.

Ultra Thin

The new Macbook Pro  2012 claims to be the thinnest of all Macbook Pros with the tag of a 15 inch MacBook Pro.

Flash Drives/SSD

Many users who have not come to this part of gadgets might only know about Hard Disk where their memory is stored and would be far away from concept of Flash drives or SSD's. but if you are an Apple user you love it. Apple would be just like its other products use SSD instead of Hard disks which would provide better speed, storage space,safety,great performance and above all lightning fast speeds. Users would also see better batter life with more and more use of SSD.

Thunderbolt Technology

A new Input/Output technology supporting high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices by using a single and compact port. Thunderbolt is 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and 12 times faster than FireWire 800. The Macbook Pro  2012 is expected to get first time new Thunderbolt  controllers which would make it really exciting with no more optical drives.

Display

Apple had already amazed the whole world by introducing screen resolution of 2048 x 1536 having 3.1 million pixel color support in the New iPad whose display was admired the most. It is heavily expected Apple would surely give a iPhone/iPad type retina display with Anti Glare increasing the resolution to about 200 ppi.

High Performance AMD Radeon graphics 

If you have already read about the New iPad and admired its resolution and high quality with retina display you must be thinking of its incorporation in Macbook Pro 2012. Well that might be very well true and to make it possible for graphics based applications Apple might be using High Performance AMD Radeon graphics.

If that happens well get ready to enjoy more framers per seconds in your 3d games , faster graphics work with 2x speed that previous generation graphics processors.

Else Apple would be sure to have Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics providing a great boost in performance.

Battery

The use of SSD which will eliminate the hard drive factor is enough encouraging to see the battery life of macbook pro being increased. Small in size,compact SSD will certainly play a big factor in preserving long battery.

Weight and Cooling

As seems to be the case with Battery life the use of SSD will ultimately mean less space and less weight in comparison to hard disks which corresponds to a low weight and better cooling.

Expected Launch Date

Last few days there have been all sort of rumors of The Next generation MacBook Pro 2012 to be launching by end of this April. As reported by Howtoarena a closer source Far of East Asian supply chain hopes this to be coming by end of this month. Another source further claimed this model to be the thinnest of all Pros but thicker than Macbook airs.

I'll make sure to update my readers as and when any news /update about this comes , Stay tuned or subscribe to us for All details about the launch and new features that you might see in Next generation MacBook Pro 2012.
