- Real time collaboration across any device
Here are a few initial thoughts. Keep reading our blog andFacebook page to get more updates, stop by our store in Eastern Hills Mall, or call us at 716-823-3085!
OS X Mavericks
New MacBook Pro
The price of the 13-inch and 15-inch models both dropped by $200, which is great news. And these laptops just keep getting better. The Retina displays are amazing. The battery life keeps getting longer. And faster SSDs (solid state drives) let you switch between files and programs a lot faster. Plus you get free iWork and iLife when you buy a new Mac.
The new Mac Pro
Mac Pro is the workhorse – perfect if you’re doing high-end video or graphic work. Now you can get up to 12GB video memory, flash storage up to 1TB – and it uses 70% less energy than the previous Mac Pro.
