Apple updates MacBook Pro lineup with more RAM and faster CPUs

Apple has updated its Retina display MacBook Prolaptop series with more RAM and faster processors, in keeping with rumors we’ve been hearing about the company pulling such a move. The improved hardware will be followed by the fall 2014 launch of the 11th major release of OS X dubbed Yosemite.

No cosmetic changes have been made to the 13-inch and 15-inch models, but you can expect them to be more powerful because of the upgraded internal components we’ve mentioned above. What’s more, the older 13-inch non-Retina laptop, the AppleMacBook Pro with an optical drive, is currently available for a reduced rate of $1099, its original specifications being left intact.

The 13-inch Macbook Pro gets a makeover in the RAM department, now featuring 8GB RAM instead of merely 4GB. The 512GB capacity version which houses a dual core 2.8GHz Intel i7 chip, costs $1799. You’ll have to cough up $1299 for a 128GB Retina MacBook Pro or $1499 for a 256GB option, with both being powered by dual core Intel i5 processors clocked at 2.6GHz.

If you want to go bigger with the screen, then the 2014 15-inch MacBook Pro comes with 16GB RAM which is up from 8GB. For $1999, you get a 4th generation 2.2GHz quad core Intel i7processor, Intel Iris Pro graphics and 256GB storage. $2499 will buy you a 2.5GHz quad core Intel i7 Pro variant with 512GB memory, Intel Iris Pro graphics and GeForce GT 750M muscle.

The updated 13-inch and 15-inch Apple Retina MacBook Pro notebooks have started shipping out to customers already. For more money, you can also choose to order these laptops with even faster processors and up to 1TB storage.

Wickedleak Wammy Note 3 looks like Galaxy S5, retails for Rs 12990 only

The newly announced water-resistant device, the Wickedleak Wammy Note 3 is blatantly copying the Galaxy S5 right down to the way its promotional pictures and press shots have been taken. This handset which looks exactly like the Samsung flagship can be bought in India from September 1 onwards at a price of just Rs 12990.

What’s interesting is that its water resistance attributes are optional. So you need to add another Rs 1500 to your purchase if you wish to grab those. The device ships with a 5.2-inch full HD display and runs on a 1.7GHz octa core MediaTek processor.

2GB worth of RAM is also in the offing, apart from a Mali 450 GPU for fast graphics processing. This dual SIM phone features the Android 4.4 KitKat OS, and offers a 13MP main camera and a 5MP front one. The Wammy Note 3 comes equipped with 8GB of storage which can of course be expanded further up to 32GB via its microSD card slot. Its S Window feature which works with a flip cover allows you to perform many important functions without having to open the protective case.

Here’s a deep look at all the key specs of the Wickedleak Wammy Note 3:

- Display: 5.2-inch 1080p IPS LCD
- OS: Android 4.4 KitKat
- Processor: 1.7GHz octa core
- Memory: 2GB RAM, 8GB storage (32GB expandable)
- Camera: 5MP front, 13MP rear

Like we said, the Wickedleak Wammy Note 3 costs Rs 12990, but if you wish to grab it with its water resisting properties onboard, the asking amount will go up to Rs 14490.
