As the rumors for the next iPhone about the LiquidMetal casing Apple would incorporate have been circulating these past few weeks, and so the rumors for the next MacBook model for this same casing as well allegedly built.
According to an anonymous source, Apple is planning to include LiquidMetal casing for its new hybrid product. Nonetheless, the two devices that would about to merge are the well known MacBook Pro and MacBook Air that captured the interest of most techy consumers.
Hence, this would be a viable evidence of the previous report about Apple's engaging to lighter models between 15 to 20% than its predecessors. The material is assumed to be sturdier as well as a more scratch resistant compared with the aluminum casing these MacBook models currently have.
Moreover, according to an allegedly source from one of Apple's manufacturing partners, the new MacBook will equip by Intel's latest Ivy Bridge processors. This means that the model would bring the standard USB 3.0 port to Macs for the first time.
Whatever would Apple include in its new Mac model, absolutely, again, this would be a sure hit in the laptop industry due to its amazing set of specs.

Windows 8-based tablets, Android 4.0 slates, even hybrid devices including tablet, smartphone and notebook PC are the most typical gadgets open for grabs. But how about some gaming console-inspired tablets?
This year's CES, we heard of gaming slate concepts, however, follow ups seem to be far away so. But then, a French company named Archos has now been alleged to finally initiate the move of creating innovative gaming tablets that will entice the ever avid gamers.
The idea is somehow parallel with the Sony's tablets P and S. However now, Archos has appeared taking a forward step on producing its own gaming tablets on cheaper prices. Perhaps, this could be one of the company's approaches to gain a hit gaming market then.
Yet, the notion has some vague impressions as to how will this device be formed for the gaming purpose. Will it has a specialized gaming control pad? Has partnership with Xbox or PlayStation technology either? Will it be a Windows model or an Android-based device?
Still, no hints at the moment, yet one thing's for sure. Archos will soon be making a viable choice for the emerging gaming industry.

The ever fruity, sexy and flowery smell and fragrances might soon be gone after the plan of three artists to team up with a scent marketer and create a fragrance familiar to new Apple Macbook works. Since Apple products have been sweeping everywhere from any types of gender and ages in a visual and auditory way, then might as well move on to the "olfactory" or the "smell" aspect such as fragrance.
The names to mention are Gavin Bell, Jarrah de Kuijer and Simon McGlinn behind all the new MacBook Pro perfume. Air Aroma is the first fragrance supplier they can think of to collaborate with for its reputation in South France to provide glue, plastic, rubber and paper scent.
To start is first replicate the smell of unopened Apple through sending those to France. Next is professional perfume makers will be sourcing the replicated smell into fragrance samples. Afterwards, the laptop is sent back along with the scent made from Apple Macbook Pro.
However, the scent is exclusive only at the artists' exhibition in Melbourne between the dates of April 20 and May 12. As one would expect for a scent based from an Apple Macbook Pro, no mass production is ever going to happen which also means it's not available for purchase.
