Apple “MacBook Touch” MultiTouch Tablet Concept

August 29, 2009 - 4:16 am 25 Comments

***Updated with Product Specs***

This is a video I put together for a Product Management class in the MBA program at Georgia State University. The video is meant to illustrate the MacBook Touch concept - a tablet computer that uses Apple’s multi-touch technology. For the class project we were required to come up with a new product concept and develop the idea using Product Development and Management techniques learned in class.

The video was put together using iMovie ‘08 and is my first attempt at making a video. Several of the clips were taken from Apple videos on the internet, and some were recorded by me in order to simulate using multi-touch on a tablet computer. The concept mockup photos were done with Microsoft Paint. The video of Mute Math playing at the end is from their Flesh and Bones Electric Fun DVD.

There are a few mistakes in the video and some things I would have liked to do differently had I had the time, but I was working on a short schedule trying to put the rest of the project together. Overall I think the video came out well and made a nice ending to the final presentation in class.

Music: “Reset” by Mute Math
Video created by John Fudge

****Update****

Some have messaged me and asked what the final specifications looked like for the project. Here are some of the potential specifications that were settled on using a combination of Conjoint Analysis, visual product mock-ups, an 8 person Focus Group, and specs of some of Apple’s current products (Keep in mind these Specs were established in March 2008).

For this tutorial, you only need the free version of super duper. No need to purchase the full version. (i do recommend purchasing the full version - This software is awesome)

You will also need an external enclosure to work with your new hard drive. Please look at my previous tutorial how to know which external enclosure you need to purcahse. Heres the link

Run Super Duper. Copy your existing hard drive in your mac, to your new external hard drive you made (the drive containing your hd upgrade) .

Takes about an hour and a half to two hours for the copying process.From there, swap the hard drives, Consult your mac manual how to remove and install your hard drive. Turn on your computer and thats it.

Late 2008 Unibody 15″ MacBook Pro Unboxing

July 30, 2009 - 1:14 am 25 Comments

I went to my local Best Buy on January 3, 2009 to exchange my recently purchased MacBook for a MacBook Pro. I found the MBP to fit me best at what I usually need it for. At the time the highest configuration available at Best Buy was the 2.53GHz model, which I purchased at retail value of $2499. The current MacBook Pro models (Mid-2009) are almost $1000 cheaper than before, and rumors are that Apple may have downgraded some technologies in them (slower SATA I instead of SATA II, etc.) in order to sell the computers for lower prices on this unstable economy.

How to make your own external hard drive and use it with Time Machine

July 30, 2009 - 1:14 am 25 Comments

This tutorial teaches you how to take an old hard drive laying around your house and make use of it by turning it into an external hard drive. Once your former internal hard drive, you have to get an external enclosure. Ebay sells them pretty cheap.

Once you have your external enclosure, install your the hard drive into the enclosure and plug it into your Mac. From there you can grab all your old files if you like, but in this tutorial, I teach you how to thoroughly erase the hard drive with no detection of what was on it ever.

After you have erased the hard drive, you now can use it as a regular external hard drive. You just saved lots of money.

If you like to use it as a Time Machine drive, go ahead and go to spotlight, and type in time machine or select it from our dock and set up your new external hard drive with Time Machine.
