Up until now, we were sorta, kinda expecting Apple to hit us with a MacBook Pro refresh at this year’s WWDC on June 11, but now we’re 99 percent sure. The laptop has been marked down $100 on Best Buy’s online store, signaling that a next generation model is right around the corner. The drop

HTC has begun rolling out its Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to selected smartphones today, with the Sensation and the Sensation XE the first two devices to join the party. The Taiwanese company announced the update in a humorous post on its blog: Few innovations have improved upon ice cream as much putting it

Following its debut in Apple’s MacBook Pro back in February 2010, the high-speed Thunderbolt technology from Intel is quickly making its way into all sorts of products. Displays, external hard drives, desktops, notebooks, and even external GPUs are all using it to provide super speedy data transfers at up to 10Gbps. But like any new

I love my 11-inch MacBook Air. It’s incredibly light and portable which allows me to cart it around and work from pretty much anywhere, and when I’m at home, I can hook it up to a Thunderbolt Display and work with a little more space. But I want even more space when I’m at my

Apple is said to be mulling over the future of its longstanding Mac Pro desktop line. Due to the advent of Apple’s new Thunderbolt connectivity standard, the once superior flexibility and architecture of the Mac Pro is being cannibalised by notebook, iMac and Mac mini popularity. Even with Intel’s new Sandy Bridge processors hitting early next year,

So… despite recent rumors that Apple’s new Thunderbolt Display would be here by now, we’re still waiting for the device to start shipping. However, one promising sign that its release is imminent comes in the form of an EFI firmware update for the company’s latest line of MacBook Airs, which prepares the ultraportables for the

Alongside the launch of its latest MacBook Air and Mac mini back in July, Apple also announced a brand new Thunderbolt-capable Cinema Display. However, it’s no longer called the Cinema Display — it’s now the Thunderbolt Display — and it could be arriving in Apple stores by the end of this week. According to a

Behold, the MacBook Air — Apple‘s latest entry in the so-light-it’s barely-there category of laptops. One just landed here at TechnoBuffalo, and I can’t wait to tear the packaging off and see how this represents in real life. The one we received is the smaller version, but at the higher end of the spec range

Apple unveiled its new Cinema Display this morning, the “World’s First Thunderbolt Display.” The 27-inch display can connect to any Thunderbolt-enabled Mac with one cable that allows you to “access its FaceTime camera, high quality audio, and Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire® 800, USB 2.0 and Thunderbolt ports. Designed specifically for Mac notebooks, the new display features

It seems that owners of the HTC ThunderBolt are going to be getting a long awaited update to Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) by the end of the month, and it will finally bring the Skype video calling they’ve all been waiting for. We first heard about a possible update to the ThunderBolt back in April, and

Apparently, BuzzKeyur has big pockets. Keyur from Buzz Gadgets submitted a video in response to our What’s in Your Pocket? call-out and was to fish not only a Verizon HTC ThunderBolt out of his pocket, but an AT&T Apple iPhone 4 as well. If you’ve got 20+ minutes to spare, Keyur does a nice comparison

As was widely speculated this past week, Apple has indeed updated the iMac line today, and while they contain the same external looks, there is a whole lot of new stuff going on inside of them. The biggest news is that while Apple never specifically says, the 2011 iMac update is running Sandy Bridge Intel

If you happen to own an HTC Evo 4G or ThunderBolt, and you’re wondering where the update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread is, you’ll be happy to know it appears to be on its way.  And while you will still have a little while to wait for it, it isn’t the longest wait in the world.

Yesterday I looked at iPhone 4 vs HTC ThunderBolt in terms of overall design, hardware specs, size, pricing, and general thoughts on how the two devices look and feel. Today’s Part Two gets into using the phones, including a brief look at Android + Sense vs iOS, and a very unscientific speed test by way of Web

What at first seemed to be a bug in the HTC ThunderBolt’s Wi-Fi Hotspot app may actually be indicative of larger problems with Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network. The problems may also be throwing a wrench into launch plans for Samsung’s first LTE device for Verizon, the Android-powered phone apparently to be called Droid Charge.

Verizon’s first 4G LTE smartphone is big, bad, and blazing fast. I’ve had one in my hands for a few days now, and while it’s too soon to give a full-on review of the device, I have formed a few first impressions. There’s no getting around ThunderBolt’s size, which is roughly on par with HTC’s

The HTC Thunderbolt, the first handset on Verizon’s LTE network, launched this week. Wonder what HTC had in mind when it created the Thunderbolt? The guys behind the handset created a short video about what went on in creating it. Definitely worth a watch for you phone nerds out there. So what’s the hype is

The HTC ThunderBolt is coming to Verizon Wireless on March 17. The ThunderBolt will be the first LTE handset on the network, and will be available for $249.99 with a two-year contract when it is released on Thursday. Last week Verizon sent out a flyer that listed ThunderBolt as “Available Now.” At the time a

It would seem someone got a little trigger happy on Verizon flyers saying the HTC ThunderBolt was “Now Available”.  According to DroidLife, Verizon customers have received flyers with this sadly comical listing that the new 4G phone is ready to go at stores, but as we all know thanks to a tipster, no one knows

If you’re curious where the HTC ThunderBolt is, it’s apparently connected to a charger somewhere.  According to our source that shared the Samsung Stealth with us, the ThunderBolt is indeed coming, but it’s having major issues with the 4G aspects draining its battery power.  After testing the phone for themselves, our source said that with

With Apple’s recent announcement of a MacBook Pro refresh, many have been quick to say that the HD front-facing camera, updated CPU, and superior GPU are the core updates to the popular computer line. However, one of the most innovative features is Thunderbolt, a high-speed connectivity solution that Apple actively collaborated with Intel on. Will

Recent rumors have revealed that the new MacBook Pros for Apple’s 2011 revamp will feature a new technology called “Light Peak”. What exactly is “Light Peak?” Why is this so special? What exactly is Light Peak? Light Peak is a new technology developed by Intel that allows for high bandwidth data transfer via an optical

The new MacBook Pros are due for release this week, and it appears that someone has definitely gotten a hold of one to leak its specs and pics. We’ve heard the stories of mysterious pallets arriving at Apple resellers, and the explicit orders they have not to open them until told otherwise, but it appears

The HTC Thunderbolt was perhaps the biggest star of Verizon’s grand CES showing, and now its getting closer to a rumored February release date with an unofficial unboxing.  This is clearly not the retail packaging, but having opened up my fair share of phones, I can tell you the nondescript white box is typical of

If you were following our live updates of the CES 200 Verizon press event, you got a chance to see the newest darling in HTC’s lineup, the Thunderbolt sporting the carrier’s new 4G network.  As a point of clarification, the presenter was unaware of the processor, which we have confirmed to the newest iteration of
