Is a new and improved MacBook Air coming later this year? Likely.

Computer manufacturers generally update their notebook lines every few months — except for Apple. At best Apple updates their notebook lines twice a year and even longer for the MacBook Air, which received its last major update in mid-2009. Even that was just a processor and battery bump as the storage, graphics, screen, and memory ...

Replace a MacBook Pro’s optical drive with an SSD

It’s a fact that no one uses optical drives anymore and so why not replace the one in your late-model MBP with something a bit more useful like an SSD. It doesn’t really seem that hard as long you’re comfortable totally disemboweling your MacBook Pro. The SSD and optical drive both use SATA so it’s really plug and play and only requires a special adapter plate to properly hold the SSD in place.

Jimmy Kimmel Live crippled by power outage, saved by laptop webcam (watch it tonight)

So it’s an hour before the curtain rises (I mean, if there was a curtain) and the power goes out at the Jimmy Kimmel Live taping and broadcast center. The show is still lit and the studio audience is good to go… but they can’t tape it.

Pop quiz, hot shot: how do you record a whole show with no equipment? Answer: pull out your MacBook.

Ask Engadget: best non-SSD laptop hard drive?

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget question is coming to us from Jason, who needs a laptop drive upgrade that doesn’t involve the words “solid state.” Or “really expensive.” If you’re looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

“I am in the market for a 2.5-inch notebook drive for my new Core i7 MacBook Pro. The biggest concern for me is performance, with storage after that, and impact on battery life last. Every SSD I have seen is over my budget. I am wondering which hard drive will be the best non-solid state drive to fit in a MBP. Some people mentioned Seagate’s Momentus XT, which is a hybrid drive — are they any good? Thanks!”

One thing Jason left out was his capacity requirements and actual budget, but we’ll go ahead and assume he wants something larger than 40GB and cheaper than the average SSD. Any blazing HDDs out there for the taking? Go on, it’s not like giving up your secret will make everyone reading this go buy up the remaining inventory. No promises on that, though.
