Apple Event October 2018 announcements Brooklyn Academy of Music Tim Cook

This morning brought an Apple event to the Howard Gilman Opera House at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Here are that event’s three main announcements (some of which have been a long time coming).

Radically redesigned iPad Pro.

Available in 11‑inch and 12.9‑inch models, iPad Pro has an all-new all‑screen design (including edge-to-edge display and no Home button!), a Liquid Retina display with ProMotion technology, an A12X Bionic chip, and Face ID. Apple also introduced a revised Apple Pencil and new Smart Keyboard Folio.

We are currently accepting pre-orders for new iPad Pro models, and expect delivery to begin November 7th.

Wait, what? They updated the Mac mini?

Completely redesigned with new eighth‑generation six‑core and quad‑core processors, high‑performance 2666MHz DDR4 memory up to 64GB, up to 2TB all‑flash storage, Thunderbolt 3 (USB‑C), HDMI 2.0, and available 10Gb Ethernet. Plus, check out its sleek new Space Gray color!

We are currently accepting pre-orders for new Mac mini models, and expect delivery to begin November 7th.

Meet the new MacBook Air, now with Retina display.

The new thinner and lighter MacBook Air features a 13.3‑inch Retina display, Touch ID, Thunderbolt 3 (USB‑C), the latest‑generation butterfly keyboard, and a Force Touch trackpad. And with an enclosure made with 100 percent recycled aluminum, Apple says it’s their greenest Mac ever.

We are currently accepting pre-orders for new MacBook Air models, and expect delivery to begin November 7th.

If you’d like to watch this morning’s Apple event keynote speech in its entirety, Apple has posted it to their website. It’s also available on Apple TV.

DOTW Deal of the Week Connecting Point Medford Oregon
DOTW deal of the week sale bargain Connecting Point Medford Oregon Rogue Valley pico projector home theater

This week’s DEAL: Portable 1080p Pico Projector $99.99 (reg. $149.99)

Home theater on a budget! This pico projector offers specs and performance previously found only on projectors costing many times more. And with built-in ports and inputs, you can play content from HDMI, VGA, USB, A/V, or Micro SD sources. That means you can connect it to your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet, Amazon Stick, Google Chromecast, Roku, Apple TV, laptop, flash drives, SD cards, game consoles, and so much more. In a darkened room, it will blow you away with its clarity and color saturation (though we don’t recommend it for presentations). And it’s small and light enough to go practically anywhere. This diminutive entertainment powerhouse normally sells for $149.99, but as this week’s DOTW, you can get one for just $99.99!

  • 2200 lumens
  • Supports up to 1080p resolutions, and both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios
  • ±15º manual keystone correction enables you to correct images distorted by projection angle
  • Long-lasting LED light source and durable lens offer up to 40,000 hours operation
  • Total or near-total darkness for best results
  • Not recommended for presentations

Our Portable 1080p Pico Projector offer runs from Friday, October 19th through Thursday, October 25th, 2018, or while supplies last. Sorry, no rain checks.
