Apple

With Fall comes certain inevitabilities: Fallen leaves, Joe Buck, and truckloads of new Apple products at your local retailer.  Today I've decided to review the 2011 New York Jonagold, which is a modern spin on the retro Macintosh.  I first spotted it by the annual Apple Gala here in Yorktown, and got my hands on a model fresh from the box (some of the previous floor models seemed worse for wear).  At first glance you might not even be able to tell the difference between the two, but trust me, the interior has been jazzed up with stylistic taste.  It comes only in classic Apple white (with optional red skin) and features the same even, rounded contours as most contemporary Apple offerings, eschewing the more top-heavy designs of older models.

I'm happy to report that the Jonagold is a star ready for consumption by savvy consumers in the Empire state.  Its performance profile is similar to its Macintosh roots, but with slightly more bite in its output.  The single-core design lends itself to consumers looking to take their Apple on the go (perhaps to Rome or Mt. Fuji!)

Contrary to recent Apple pricing trends, this Jonagold was manufactured here in NY, so there's a steep retail discount locally compared to its competitors' products.  I recommend heading down to the Apple store and trying one out today.
