Last week at Worldwide Developers Conference in San Diego Apple announced long overdue updates for MacBook and iMacs. By doing so Apple once again emphasized the importance of Laptops and iMac line of computers among other Apple Product Update.
MacBook Pro, iMacs and iPad Pro are aimed at professionals who are hungry for faster and graphic intensive applications. The new line of computers will be introduced with iOS 11 to provide extra punch of speed and security features.
The older MacBook Pro introduced in 2016 were based on sixth generation Intel chips. This time around, Apple is serious about its laptops and have opted for latest 7th generation chips from Intel.
Newer MacBook Pro and iPad Pro tablet will directly compete with Microsoft Surface Pro and Surface book in performance and. price category. It will be an interesting rivalry between Microsoft and Apple laptops but the choice will mostly be dictated by operating system.
The new MacBook laptops are faster across the board, with new top turbo speed of 4.1GHz for the 15-inch MacBook Pro, which is 300MHz faster than last year’s model. The top-line Pro models also get more robust graphics, topping out with a 4GB AMD Radeon Pro 560 for the 15-inch model.
The latest MacBook Pro line of laptops will displace some older model and introduce new line at slightly different price point. Here is the rundown on new MacBooks:
12-inch MacBook
New Kaby Lake CPU (still Core M, not Core i)
50 percent faster SSD storage
16GB RAM option, up from 8GB only
Still only one USB-C port
13-inch MacBook Pro (no Touch Bar)
New Kaby Lake CPU
Price drop (with a catch): Now starts at $1,299 instead of $1,499
But that’s with just 128GB. The 256GB version remains at $1,499
13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar
New Kaby Lake CPU
15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar
New Kaby Lake CPU
Improved graphics on baseline model
13-inch MacBook Air
1.8 GHz Core i5 Broadwell CPU on baseline model, up from 1.6 GHz version
2015 MacBook Pros
The 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2015 has been discontinued. It’s no longer listed on Apple’s site, but you can probably find remaining models in the retail channel
The 15-inch MacBook Pro from 2015 remains available for those who want full-size USB ports
HomePod Speaker
Apple also announced brand new HomePod speaker system based on Sri to take on Amazon Alexa and Google’s Home. Home automation and personal assistant market is dominated by Amazon’s Alexa at the moment. It will be an uphill battle for Apple with HomePod not only because it is late to the party but because of its hefty price.
iMacs All in One Desktop Computers
Apple iMacs have gotten much needed upgrade with brighter screen, faster graphics chip by AMD, Solid state drives and seventh generation Intel Processor. This will breathe new life into all in one computer and bring cheers to graphic and advertising agencies.
Apple also is bringing VR capabilities to iMac line of computers along with new High Siera MacOS. VR enthusiast will have to wait for headsets that are compatible with VR. Apple and third parties headsets will be available in late 2017.

As businesses become more reliant upon their technology for their critical operations, they also find that it’s impossible to keep up-to-date on all the different types of technology they need. Instead, this role is rapidly being filled by the services of a technology rental provider. Technology rental providers are able to offer large volumes of technology and equipment, often for niche and specialized use cases. This technology can then be used at seminars, training events, trade shows or simply in order to expand to new locations. And attract Attendees at Trade show.
What Does a Technology Rentals Provider Do?
A technology rentals provider keeps a large inventory of the technology products. These are products that businesses need for seminars, trade shows, and even their day-to-day operations. Through a technology rentals provider, companies can access the technology they need at a low cost, removing the need to purchase, maintain, upgrade, and ultimately replace equipment and other expensive technological assets. A technology rentals provider will not only ensure that the business has the technology they need, but will make sure that events are hit and profitable. As an additional bonus, this technology can be delivered on demand, and an organization only needs to pay for the technology when it is in use.
What Are the Benefits of a Technology Rental Provider?
At the highest level, technology rental providers save company money and reduce the amount of time they need to spend on administrative tasks. Specifically, these are the major benefits of using a technology provider:
Getting the most advanced technology. Many companies don’t have the resources to keep purchasing technology and equipment as it comes out. Technology depreciates very quickly, and a single product cycle could bring with it technology that is vastly improved. Rather than falling behind their competitors, companies can instead choose to lease this equipment when they need it. This foregoes the entire researching, purchasing, and decommissioning cycle.
Acquiring specialized equipment on demand. For seminars, training, and other events, companies may require one-off items that they don’t necessarily need all the time. Rather than keeping these items around, having to store them, and waiting for them to depreciate indefinitely, they can simply lease this equipment as they need it. A good technology rentals provider will have many niche products that a company can requisition at any time.
Simplifying the management of equipment and assets. With less equipment, the company needs to do less managing of its inventory overall. They need to track fewer items and they have to maintain and repair fewer items. This can be a tremendous boon to a small or already over-taxed internal IT department, and can reduce the amount of employee hours required by the IT department.
These are only the major benefits of a technology rental provider — but they are very significant ones.
When Would You Need a Technology Rental Provider?
Companies most commonly use a technology rental provider when they are attending or hosting a major event. Companies may need large numbers of display equipment, kiosks for special events, or specialized equipment, often to suit large numbers of people. A technology provider can provide flat screens for multiple concurrent displays, or can provide kiosks where companies can deliver information directly to a single user. Technology providers can also provide equipment for smaller scale events — such as providing a projector for a slideshow. Essentially, any time a company is in need of technology that it doesn’t already have, a provider can step in.
Providers can also offer technology to companies that are looking for expansion, that need temporary technology, or that are testing out new types of technology. Temporary programs, teams, departments, or offices, can also utilize the advantages of a technology provider rather than having to quickly requisition and then decommission their equipment.
What Type of Equipment Does a Technology Rental Provider Offer?
Technology rental providers offer a very large selection of equipment. Computer rentals and laptop rentals can be used to keep a business going, while display products are the most frequently used products at trade shows and other events. Display products can range from flat screen televisions (which would be very prohibitively expensive to both purchase and ship) to individual tablets (which can both display and collect information from guests). Technology providers may also have: LED Video Walls, projectors, smartphones, kiosks, iPhones, and a wide assortment of other accessories.
Of course, every provider is different and may maintain a different inventory. Smaller providers may focus on a certain area — such as either computer rentals or display panels — while larger providers will have a full inventory in a wide variety of categories.
What Is the Process for Renting Technology?
Identify your needs. What event or project do you need this technology for? Exactly how many items are you going to need and to what specifications? Specifications are particularly important — it’s unlikely you’ll get the specific brand or model of an item that you need, but you will get something that meets the standards of performance that you require. This is much like renting a car. After you outline the specifications of your technology, you are then ready to find a provider.
Find the right provider. Request quotes. Some providers can deliver quotes almost immediately while others may need some time. What’s most important is to properly compare these quotes on an apples-to-apples basis; make sure you aren’t comparing the cost of older technology to the cost of newer technology. Take a look at the provider’s reputation and find the provider that gives the correct cost benefit, with no hidden pricing. We have further details on warning signs and things to look for below.
Requisition the equipment. Once you’ve selected a provider, they will handle the rest. They will be able to deliver the equipment to you where you need it, will offer support for you with the equipment, and will collect the equipment once you’re done with it. Everything is already taken care of.
Does the Technology Provider You Use Matter?
When it comes to technology rentals, not just any provider will do. An unreliable provider could potentially leave you in a difficult situation during an important time. Providers that are not reliable may not deliver their equipment on time, may not properly maintain their equipment, and may not be able to quickly repair their equipment if it breaks down. Providers that are inexperienced may not have the right types of equipment or may not have a diverse enough inventory for your needs. Furthermore, an inadequate technology provider may also charge more than is necessary, reducing the benefits of leasing technology altogether.
A technology provider is going to operate as critical support to you during fairly tumultuous times. Trade shows, events, seminars, and new projects are already very complex, and the last thing you want to do is overly complicate them. By spending some additional time finding the right provider for your business, you can sidestep some major problems later on.
What Do You Need in a Technology Rentals Provider?
Affordability. Ideally, a technology rentals provider should be able to offer equipment at a fairly low cost. But that doesn’t mean that you should always go for the cheapest provider. A balance of cost and features is usually desirable. If a provider is very unusually cheap or is far cheaper than the other providers, then there’s either probably something they are skimping on (such as support) or there are hidden costs (again, such as support). Make sure that you question unusual quotes thoroughly and ask them exactly what is included.
Inventory. A diverse inventory is necessary if you want to both stay on top of new technology and acquire exactly what you need. Each individual event or project could need radically different equipment. If your rental provider doesn’t have the equipment you need, you’ll find yourself having to find a different provider each time. You may also want to ask your provider how often they refresh their inventory or how often they bring their newer products in, as this will be an indication of whether you’ll have access to cutting edge product lines.
Reliability. It’s not just about the equipment; it’s also about how well the equipment is kept and maintained. Old, poorly maintained equipment is more likely to break down or function erratically, which could ruin whatever plans you have in store. And if the equipment does breakdown, the company needs to be able to respond to the incident quickly with troubleshooting or maintenance calls. The right technology solutions should also be able to outline their contingency plans in the event that something occurs such as an item simply failing to work altogether.
Accessibility. When it comes to events, it’s very likely that you’ll need technology delivered all across the nation. For that reason, you should always work with a rentals provider that can send equipment all over the world — and it’s best if they have locations in multiple states. A smaller provider is going to have some difficulty getting your equipment to the areas that you need it, especially if you need large volumes of equipment.
How Can You Compare Multiple Providers?
Once you’ve outlined your technology needs, it’s time to request quotes from all of the providers. As mentioned, you want to be comparing the quotes on an apples-to-apples basis, so you may want to familiarize yourself with the different products. Your IT department can help. For instance, both companies may have similar quotes on laptops, but one laptop line could be a substantially older model. An IT professional will be able to tell.
But comparing multiple providers should never be just about the products, it should also be about their customer service standards and their guarantees. Your provider should be able to outline the technical support that they can offer, how their process works, and how quickly you can get the equipment. Once you have all this information, it’s up to you to decide which provider works best for your company’s needs. It may ultimately come down to the speed of delivery and setup, or the amount of comprehensive customer support they can offer.
How Can You Save Money on Technology Rentals?
Every business wants to reduce their expenses. But when it comes to technology, it becomes important to reduce expenses without reducing utility. A technology rentals provider already vastly reduces the cost of rentals, but there’s still more that you can do:
Make sure that you aren’t requesting redundant equipment. Your IT professionals can find ways to streamline your event. For instance, if you need to collect data and also display information, a kiosk may actually be a better and more functional choice than a variety of tablets that float around the event.
Choose the right equipment. Though it’s tempting to go for the top line models, you don’t always need them. Take a look at older models; as long as they meet the requirements that you have, there’s nothing wrong with going a little bit older at an event.
Be realistic about your needs. Delivery costs, in particular, are usually one of the most expensive areas. Don’t rush shipping if you don’t need it — just plan in advance. Likewise, you don’t need to include setup costs if your employees are already going to be on site and are capable of doing it themselves.
What Are Some Warning Signs When Selecting a Provider?
Poor reviews on the Internet or open issues with the BBB. Though a provider can make any claims about themselves that they want, they cannot control negative reviews on the Internet. Likewise, any open issues with the BBB will be public record. Doing some research on the reputation of the provider can give you a better picture of how reputable they truly are — and what problems they have encountered in the past.
Pressure to commit to a contract right away. A solid technology provider has more than enough clients to keep themselves busy; they don’t need to engage in high pressure sales tactics. If a sales representative won’t let you end a conversation without signing a contact, it’s generally a bad sign.
Inability to produce a line-by-line breakdown of costs. A line-by-line breakdown prevents any unforeseen items from coming up later. If the provider cannot offer this type of breakdown, it’s very likely that you’ll see other hidden costs emerge later on. It also makes it very difficult to compare one provider with another.
For many businesses, a technology rentals provider is now absolutely essential. But that doesn’t mean that any provider will do. As you can see, it’s also very important to choose the right provider for your organization — the provider that can offer the best inventory, the best quotes, and the best support. Event Technology Rentals can provide quick quotes for all your technology needs, written to your specifications and entirely hassle free.

The Experts Weigh in on 2017 Technology Trade Shows
The year 2017 is set to be a big year for trade shows, according to industry experts. There’s plenty to get excited about. According to Vice President Jeff Chase, sustainability will be embraced with the design of equipment used at trade shows. Popular structures, such as LED back-lit smart fabric walls will be a mainstay at many trade shows.
Event technology expert Raj Jain of Aria Technology solutions feels that trade show formats are changing, too. More and More event planners are choosing to replace the old technology with latest immersive computer technology that features activities, video content, interactivity and more. This was originated by TED events but is gaining ground at events of all kinds.
Education in the exhibit hall is becoming just as much of a draw as the educational sessions, particularly in tech. Companies traditionally exhibiting large equipment, like computer racks and airplane engines, now have more digital-based products. This is leading exhibitors to have smaller digital demos, featuring the newest digital equipment that associations don’t show in their training sessions.
And VR will begin to happen in a bigger way, too — it will become so much more than just a pair of goggles and one experience. Companies will start building a library of VR content for all channels, not just trade shows, giving them a large set of content that can be swapped in and out as needed.”
The Many Benefits of Exhibiting at Technology Trade Shows
There are many benefits of exhibiting at a trade show. From increasing brand recognition to credibility, exhibiting at a trade show has a boatload of benefits for your business. Establishing a presence, whether big or small, for your company at a trade show gives you a strong platform for meeting new clients, reaching out to your existing customers and building a stronger and reliable brand. With the right strategy and technology, every trade show a business participates in is an opportunity to drastically substantially increase your business’s customer baseline. The folks who attend trade shows tend to be very inquisitive in the products or services your business features and are often ready to commit to a purchase on the spot. There’s just nothing better for cash flow than a ready buyer. Don’t you want more money in your wallet?
Branding At Technology Trade Shows
Branding is a big factor of business success, especially in industries that depend on trust and reputation. Exhibiting at a trade show is the ideal way to tell your industry that your business is serious, reliable and big enough to afford its own presence at major trade shows.
By using your trade show exhibit strategically, you can position your company as being a leader in any niche within your market. Positioning your booth next to your industry’s ‘blue chip’ businesses displays a powerful psychological image that can help your business move from ‘startup’ to ‘established brand’ in the eyes of your potential customers. With the correct strategy, even a small startup can develop its brand’s name by exhibiting at a trade show.
Displaying a product or service at technology trade shows gives your company’s sales team a unique opportunity to gain access to important prospects, without the bad feelings and suspicion that typically occurs in traditional direct sales. Frequent objections disappear as customers are in a buying frame of mind. Why is it smart to capitalize on this opportunity? Because many prospects are willing to give up their valuable time at a trade show. It’s a chance to seal the deal and leave the trade show with qualified sales leads. Just make sure to take the time to research and choose the right technology trade show for your company. More and more, businesses are recognizing the effectiveness of exhibiting at a trade show. Looking to cultivate brand awareness, attain valuable leads and make for sales? Gear up for success with an exhibition at a trade show. If done right, you won’t regret it.

WWDC2017 Apple event provides an opportunity to peak into Apple’s research and development efforts. Apple has been holding Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) each year, offering global developers a chance to learn what’s new at Apple in terms of software updates and latest iPhones, laptops, computers and much more. Most developers are eagerly waiting for the WWDC2017 Apple Event, which will start on 5th June 2017 at McEnery Convention Center in San Jose California. We are expecting Apple to launch latest versions of Mac OS and iOS. The company might also launch new versions of TV OS and Watch OS – operating systems that run on Apple TV and Apple Watch.
Apple’s recent accomplishments On 7th September 2016, we witnessed Apple’s yearly iPhone launch. They launched the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Since then, most people have been comparing the two versions with the older ones to know whether they should upgrade. The company also launched the Apple Watch 2, which is an all-new Apple’s updated wearable. The watch, suitable for both men and women, features built-in GPS and a new waterproof design. The smartwatch has been a worthy upgrade for watch enthusiasts. Later, on 27 October, the company launched the most recent MacBook Pro. The souped-up performance laptop boasts updated specs, many new features, and a light thin frame. Nerveless, the feature that has stood-out is the Apple’s funky new Touch Bar that features Touch ID fingerprint sensor – a feature that has added a newer control level to the MacBook Pro.
All New 9.7 – inch iPad The first reveal of the year 2017 and the most recent launch from Apple is the all-new 9.7-inch iPad – launched on 21 March 2017. Apart from being one of the most affordable tablets, it offers more specs contrary to what you expect with the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. Alternatively, it is a great choice for individuals desiring to play games and to watch videos on full-screen device. The Cupertino company has also launched red iPhone 7 and 7 Plus and slashed the price of iPad Mini 4 and iPhone SE.
The launching of a new MacBook or a MacBook Pro Laptops On 27th October 2016, Apple launched the most recent MacBook Pro. The super-powered laptop features many top-end specs, cool features such as Touch ID sensor and Touch Bar control panel and strong graphics processing. What’s more, they have not limited the choice of their customers to one size, you can choose between the 13-inches and 15-inches laptop. Due to the update, the company might not announce anything new in the laptop world until later in the year. However, there are rumors that the company might release an updated Pro version. The new version will boast the same design but Apple might upgrade the specs to 32 GB of RAM and Kaby Lake Processor for improved performance. MacBook Air has not received any update sine the year 2015. Therefore, you might see a new MacBook Air with Pro’s Touch Bar addition.
Launch of new iPads & Tablets On 21st March 2017, Apple launched its newest iPad tablet in the market. The 9.7-inch iPad is a cheaper alternative to iPad Pro 9.7. Even though the device has fewer specs, it is suitable people who like playing and watching movies. The iPad Pro launch might have been the revelation of iPad Pro 9.7 – in March 2016. That means that people might see many new professional Apple tablets within the first half of 2017. Probably, you know that Apple has not launched any new iPad Mini or iPad Air since the year 2015. It also seems that the company is trying to kill the ranges completely. They are more likely to replace them with iPad Pro tablets – they might launch the new iPad Pro 2 models at their next launch event.
Apple iPad Pro 7 iPad pro 2 Apple is planning the iPad Pro 9.7 and the iPad Pro 12.9 updated versions, with better specs but similar features to original iPad Pro models. The company might also tease all-new 10.5-inch iPad Pro 2, even though they might properly launch it later in the year – it features funky new edge-to-edge design. Some rumors also point to fresh 7.9-inch model, known as the iPad Pro Mini. If the rumors are on the money, the model will possibly eliminate the standard iPad Mini. People expected that Apple would launch the iPads earlier in 2017, but according to the most recent headlines, we might wait until the second half of the year.
Launch of new iPhones During the next iPhone launch, Apple will possibly introduce the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus – that will highly depend on their choice of names. As expected, the company will launch the next iPhone in 2017 autumn, specifically, around September. Therefore, you have ever thought about upgrading to iPhone 7, you should not worry about it becoming obsolete any time soon. The best idea is to upgrade to iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus if you have not done that.
Launch of new Apple Watch If you are a fan of Apple Watch Series 2, which is better than the original version – possibly due to the better design and reduced problems, you should be expecting to see Apple Watch Series 3. There was a bigger gap between Apple Watch and Apple Watch 2 and people have waited for the third version for many months. With the Watch OS 3 Magic, we have witnessed in-built GPS support and waterproof feature that made the watch a great all-time wearable.
Streaming the WWDC2017 Apple Event You will be able to watch every Apple’s launch event live on Apple TV or through Apple Events page on their website. However, to watch, you will require an Apple’s Safari browser. Some browsers like Google Chrome will not work. Watching the event after it has ended Apple has been keeping videos of the most recent launch events and all keynotes on its Events page. You can browse there using a Safari browser to watch them. That might also happen with the Apple’s WWDC2017 event. The event is anticipated to have much happening, but one can never tell when apple comes up with a surprise.

Apple iPhone six plus is a stark departure from what Apple always emphasized upon, which is a creating phones that are easy to hold and operate with one hand. The market trend of larger sized handsets and android dominance in that space forced Apple to change its mind. Apple has been a leader in technological innovation, but with the latest iteration of iPhones, Apple seems to be catching up with the competition rather than setting up benchmarks for others to follow.
However, what Apple continues to maintain is the impeccable hardware quality and seamless software experience along with the premium positioning in the minds of the people. Die-hard Apple fans will be willing to offer several reasons to upgrade to the latest iPhone 6 plus, however, we decided to play the devil’s advocate to give you 5 good reasons to not upgrade to iPhone 6 plus.
Specifications Way Behind Competition
None of the iPhone 6 plus features is exciting or trendsetting. In fact, Apple seems to be playing catch-up. While most high-end phones are moving to QHD resolution, iPhone 6 plus with 1080p resolution is nothing exciting. A pixel density of 401 is not bad, but there are many phones in the market that offer much better screens at a much lower price. With bigger screen, Apple should have gone ahead with a QHD screen to maintain better pixel density. The processing capabilities of iPhone 6 plus are more than sufficient for the optimized software it offers, but it doesn’t set any benchmark in terms of its processing prowess. The 1.4 GHz dual-core CPU just doesn’t have the kind of punch some of the android phones are carrying and this difference will show in more CPU intensive future apps.
Also, the fact that iPhone 6 plus only comes with a 1GB RAM, hardware bottlenecks will be evident sooner than later as far as demanding apps will be concerned. The hardware also lacks Cat 6 LTE support when it comes to wireless data speed. With Cat 4, iPhone 6 plus can only achieve 150 Mbps speed as compared to 300 Mbps by some of the android flagship models.
Too Big for Comfort
iPhone 6 plus is too big for comfort as far as smartphones go. 5.5-inch screen real estate is probably over stretch for an existing Apple user who is used to screen size closer to 4-inches. With iPhone 6 plus size, Apple is almost entering the territory of iPads in terms of screen size. Rather than buying an expensive iPhone 6 plus, users may feel like buying an iPad or renting an iPad instead.
Expensive
iPhones have always been expensive and iPhone 6 plus now becomes the most expensive iPhone ever to be launched by Apple till date. iPhone 6 plus comes with a price tag of $299 with contract for 16GB version and costs a whopping $499 for 128GB version with contract. Without contract, the iPhone 6 plus is priced between $749 and $949 for different storage options. iPhone 6 plus is not only expensive, it doesn’t even offer the class leading hardware for that price. This clearly makes it anything but a value for money proposition.
Considering the kind of purchase price these phones have, enthusiasts who want to explore the phone for some time would be better off with trying out iPhone rentals option as well. Just like iPad rentals, iPhone rentals make sense for these expensive models when you want to explore a product before buying or when your upgrade cycle is too frequent when it comes to phones. Camera The camera of iPhone 6 plus is good, but it doesn’t really add any excitement in terms of features that other flagship phones are providing. Optical image stabilization is being introduced in iPhone 6 plus, which however is being offered by several other competitors at much lower price. The secondary camera or the front facing camera is also underwhelming at 1.2 MP, which is a shame considering all android flagship models have provided excellent cameras for selfie lovers.
Lack of Standout Features
Apple failed to deliver any significant feature that is already not existent in android phones. Something like NFC has been around for ages and for iPhone 6 plus to highlight that as a hot feature is not helping the matters. Some of the android flagship phones are featuring innovations such as waterproof and dust proof design, which are absent in iPhone 6 plus.
For all Apple fans, iPhone 6 plus is an alternate if you always dreamt of a phablet with an iOS platform. However, given the price of iPhone 6 plus and lack of innovations, it is much better to look elsewhere. In fact, if someone wants to stick to iOS ecosystem, upgrading to iPhone 6 may make more sense as it offers better value for money and iPhone 6 plus.
