Apple has today come forth to announce a whole slew of updates to their various product lines. First up is the plastic MacBook that is getting an almost full redesign with a uni body enclosure, non removable 7-hour battery and large multitouch track pad as found on the MacBook Pros.

The iMac will feature generally the same design as the last generation, a 21.5-inch LED display with various Core 2 Duo offerings. Alternatively, there is a 27-inch model that features an Intel i5 or i7 with both models support up to 16GB of RAM.

The Mac Mini keeps the same design but gets a processor upgrade, more RAM and a NVIDIA 9400M 256MB graphics card.

And last but not least, the Magic Mouse — As you could probably already tell this is the successor to the Mighty Mouse and features probably the biggest redesign of all the updated product lines. This new mouse features no buttons whatsoever but instead a touch sensitive face for, you guessed it, gesture based controls.

Yesterday Fujitsu decided to announce a new pair of laptops to their LifeBook line, more exactly the P3010 and P3110 which can actually be considered netbooks due to its small size of a 11.6-inch screen.

Both laptops have a battery life that can last 6 to 7 hours, or even more depending if you use the eco mode. The two units will make use of Windows 7 as the operative system, and the great difference is the processor, while the P3010 uses the AMD Athon Neo at 1.6GHz, the P3110 has an Intel CULV running at 1.3GHz.
