New Retina MacBook Pros Hands-on: Cheaper 13-inch Steals the Show

Apple has debuted new 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros in time for the holiday season with cheaper prices and beefier fourth-generation Core processors with Iris graphics. We spent some brief hands-on time with both models, and we’re more psyched about the 13-inch version, which starts at $1,299–or $200 more than the Air.

iPad mini With Retina Display vs iPad mini

Dubbed the “iPad mini with Retina Display,” Apple’s sequel to the iPad mini bumps up the 7.9-inch display’s resolution to a crisp 2048 x 1536, the same as the brand new iPad Air. Unfortunately, that increased sharpness comes at a much sharper price: $399 even as Apple cut the price on the original mini to $299. Is the new mini worth an extra $100 ?

BlackBerry says its BBM app ready for iPhone, Android devices

BlackBerry says its popular instant messaging service is now ready for Apple's iPhone and devices using the Android operating system, following a technical glitch that delayed the launch by about a month.

Andrew Bocking, head of BBM operations, said in a BlackBerry blog post on Monday that BlackBerry Messenger would be available for free within hours on Apple, Google and select Samsung app stores.

In September, an unreleased version of the BBM software for Android was posted online, causing technical conflicts with the latest version prepared for release, the company said at that time.

BlackBerry decided to yank the BBM app while its programmers worked to solve the problem.

The BBM instant messaging service has been a popular feature for Blackberry users because it allows real-time text messages on a secure server, but doesn't require a customer to purchase an SMS text package from their wireless carrier.

BlackBerry has said it wants to turn BBM into a revenue generator for the company through advertising partnerships.

Shares of the company were down 15 cents to $8.49 on the Toronto Stock Exchange

BEST LAPTOPS AROUND

Find the BestS Laptop for You

Best Laptop Overall: MacBook Air 13-inch (2013)The 2013 edition of the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch is the best overall laptop, because it's simply a joy to use. These days, there are dozens of super-light, uber-thin notebooks, but the 3-pound, 0.68-inch thick MacBook Air 13-inch stands out because of its sharp screen, responsive keyboard, superior touchpad and iconic design. OS X Mountain Lion is also a breeze to use, offering a Notification Center, iCloud and Mac App Store. Best of all, the MacBook Air 13-inch lasts 9.5 hours on a charge.
Starting Price: $1,099
MacBook Air 13-inch Review

Best Ultrabook: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 CarbonAmong business laptops, Lenovo's ThinkPad line is at the top of the org chart because of its best-in-class keyboards, accurate pointing sticks, solid security and durable designs. At just 3 pounds and 0.74-inches thick, the 14-inch ThinkPad X1 Carbon provides all the ThinkPad goodness you've come to expect in a lightweight chassis that's still tough enough to meet MIL-SPEC standards. Throw in a brilliant 1600 x 900 display, a comfy soft-touch palmrest, optional touch support and nearly 8 hours of endurance, and you have the ultimate Ultrabook for any purpose.
Starting Price: $1,214

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E431 Review

Lenovo's ThinkPad Edge line of affordable small business laptops has long been known for providing a strong combination of value and usability. With a best-in-class keyboard, solid performance, plenty of ports, and optional Windows 7 for those who don't like Windows 8, the 14-inch ThinkPad E431 ($649 as configured, $499 to start), is a great choice for knowledge workers, students or anyone who needs portable productivity on a budget.

ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A Review

ASUS's original Ultrabook was the first ultraportable laptop to give the MacBook Air a run for its money, but it ultimately fell short. The new ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A (starting at $1,099, $1,499 as configured) is a sequel to truly get excited about. This successor has the same sleek spun metal design and offers lots more eye candy on the inside with a new 1080p IPS display. The Prime also adds a comfier backlit keyboard and a third-generation Intel Core processor for a serious speed boost. Do all of these ingredients add up to the best Ultrabook yet?

Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display Review

Just when the laptop competition thinks it's closing in on Apple, the company launches a new product that raises the bar for the entire industry. For the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, it's the screen -- all 2880 x 1800 pixels of it -- that will leave others scrambling to play catch-up. Of course, to push that many pixels you need serious horsepower. And the next-gen MacBook Pro (starting at $2,199) delivers just that with a quad-core Core i7 processor, Nvidia Kepler graphics and super-fast flash memory. Did we mention the MacBook Pro is only 4.5 pounds and is nearly as thin as the Air? Yeah, it's almost not fair.
