MacBook Pro runs 22-megapixel display, reaches all new kind of awesome

Ever wondered what happens when you put a group of Norwegian students in a room with 28 data projectors and an aging MacBook Pro? No we didn’t think you had, but then again neither had we. What you’re looking at here is the brainchild of Daniel Stødle and his band of Norwegian crazed monitor fanatics. Stringing 28 data projectors together, they we’re able to create a 22-megapixel display — yes, that’s a resolution of around about 7168 x 3072pixels. Best of all, this bad boy’s driven by a non-unibody MacBook Pro running what looks to be a dated version of OS X. Suddenly the phrase “can it run Crysis?” seems obsolete; video after the break.

So what do you do when you happen to have last year’s MacBook, but you also want to extend its battery life by about 3 hours? You go out, purchase yourself a refreshed model boasting 10 hours of battery life, disassemble it and then let the transplanting begin. For the most part that’s what the fine guys and gals over at iFixit did. Of course, the new cells do weigh more and its newer silicon chip probably has something to do with that extra battery life, but hey, we didn’t object when Dr. Frankenstein created his monster and we’re not going to object now.

We’d already seen the leaked MacBook refresh but now its got official support from the folks in Cuptertino, California. That’s right folks, Apple’s next generation MacBook will after long last, support 2.4GHz of Core 2 Duo fun as well as NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics and a longer lasting battery (up to 10 hours). At the moment it looks as though Apple’s only updated a handful of its sites (Hong Kong, Taiwan and Germany), but we expect the update to go global soon.

HP Pavilion dv6 - First touch capable clam shell laptop

You’d have thought that touch enabled laptops would be common place by now, right? I mean at least I did. But what I hadn’t thought about was that there has never been a REAL notebook, as in not a Frankenstein tablet/laptop mix, that has had a full touch enabled touch screen. So imagine my shock when I learn of the the new HP Pavilion dv6 and dv7 series, which will offer an optional touch enabled monitor.

Engadget just got their grubby hands all over the new 2010 Macbook Pro - and they have pointed out some key elements of the system you should know. First off, the hardware and looks have not really changed at all, but one key thing to note is they somehow managed to change the track pad to scroll more like an iPhone. Also, switching between the Nvidia 330M and the Integrated Graphics is no longer a chore. It seems that it is automatic, and you can also change it manually without having to log out, and back in again. These are the main points from the unboxing, but Engadget also has some really neat photos too!
