2012 is meant to change the gadget era, this year is supposed to come-up with next generation gadgets which will change the way you used to treat consumer electronics. The coming of sleek and speedy ultrabooks, wide-screen phablets (hybrid of Smartphone and tablet), and high-performing quad-core smartphones are proofs that the era is changing. When it comes to computers we haven’t seen anything new other than ultrabooks, but surprises awaits in this field which you will see before the year ends.
1. Touchscreen PCs with Window 8:
Microsoft’s new OS Window 8 is expected to launch in October 2012, but there are still speculation revolving around about its release. It’s likely that in few months you will be seeing Window 7 products in the market with a tag saying ‘Windows 8 ready’. Only by the end of this year or may be in starting of 2013 we will get a chance to see an actual Window 8 running device.
2. When Intel high-end CPUs Hits Market:
At CES 2012 Intel was mum about its next generation of CPUs which are dubbed as Ivy Bridge. We hope that even if there is a short delay the Intel's higher-end third generation Core i series of CPUs will become a standard in all new desktops and laptops before this Christmas. The history of market trends shows that there will be a lot of improved mainstream parts in the market after the Intel’s high-end CPU hit the stores.
3. A Refresh to MacBook and Mac Pro:
From the past three we haven’t seen any change in MacBook Pros design and we surely expect a refreshed model of MacBook from Apple this year. With the new Intel high-end processors we can dream of a slimmer and more powerful Pro model or a hybrid of Pro and Air is also a possibility.
It’s for sure that there will be a major update in MacBook Air as Apple will be having the idea of how Intel’s Ivy Bridge processor will make the ultrabooks grab more market pie.
