New Mac Pro 2019 - 28 Core Xeon 1.5TB Ram
I watched some important parts of WWDC 2019. The long waited New Mac Pro is finally released. It will 28 Cores Xeon, 1.5TB RAM, dual graphic cards. That sounds a beast to do the video rendering. That sounds cool. I wish to say "I want it", but that will be available on Fall 2019 + starting price is USD$6K! That is not a affordable price tag for me!
IKEA USB Type-C Cable
IKEA is the name of furniture store, my blog is about IT. Mentioning their product in my blog, it does not make very sense. Actually, IKEA sells some IT gadgets and they are with good value too. Recently, I bought a USB Type-C cable for AUD$7.99. In other places, I think I need to spend at least 10 dollars. Moreover, It has a durable textile surface, it looks nice and that is more durable! I highly recommended this product, super value for money
1st Player Keyboard Rose Fire Keyboard
Last year, I visited Hong Kong. One of Souvenirs I bought for myself is 1st Player Keyboard Rose Fire Keyboard. This is my first real mechanical keyboard and I just paid HKD$398. That is very very value for money. I used that for almost a year. I loved it. The built quality is not bad. It sounds firms. Moreover, it has "Cherry MX"(I am not sure that is an authentic cherry switch or other brands ) blue switch. That is very good for typing. I love it! Although it only has a single color black lighting, I am not a gamer, that is not a deal for you. It has a few model of flashing black-lighting, that is already quite fun for me. I love this keyboard and that is very very value for money.
New Apple Devices are released
Last night, there was an apple event. A number of upgrades for the existing. Firstly, that is Mac Mini. Now is from a starter mac to "builder's" mac. That is almost custom build for us, the developer. It can have 32 GB, 6 cores i7 and 2 TB SSD. That is perfect for me. I checked the price of mac mini with i7, 16GB and 256GB SSD. That is around AUD$2400. That is reasonable to be a developer box! I am waiting for this upgrade for years
Secondly, Macbook Air got an upgrade too. It will have Retina screen and 8th generation Intel CPU. Thirdly, iPad Pro will have a new A12 CPU and bigger screen. They removed the home button, you got more space for the screen. Moreover, no lighting plug anymore, it used usb type-c. Lastly, the Apple pencil can charge as a side of iPad, you do not need to charge it separately.
Another disappointment after Apple Event
Last night, there was an announcements from apple. Mainly, they are all about the new iPhone, iPhoneXS. This times, there are three version, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR. They got the better screen than the last version, now, all of them use OLED now. And the iPhoneXS Max, the most high-end one, has 6.5" screen. Moreover, all of them got dual 12 Megapixels camera and A11 AI chip. That is much better, but the cheapest one is around $1629. That is too much for me. Moreover, there are no news regarding iMac Pro and Mac mini upgrade. I need one of those to upgrade my iOS development environment
