Been reading Adam Frucci’s “Battlemodo” comparing five laptops in the same price range as the MacBook Air. Besides the MBA, he had the Dell XPS M1330, the Toshiba Portege R500, the Fujitsu LifeBook S2210 and the Sony Vaio TZ150N. All of these notebooks are under four pounds and are defined as “ultraportables.”
Side-by-side these other four [...]

Ever wondered what other MP3 players must have felt when they saw the second-generation iPod Nano? Sony Walkman felt so bad it married the first European guy that proposed to her, a Mr. Ericsson. The countless other MP3 player brands felt unappreciated many went into seclusion. To say that the portable computing world has been [...]

The reviews are in but we’re still several days from the first shipment of Apple’s new MacBook Air notebook. I’ve read quite a few of them, thinking it might convince me to consider MacBook Air, even though I suspect there’s going to be a worse “heat issue” in the MacBook Air compared to a MacBook [...]

I own a MacBook White that boasts a glossy wide screen. When I booted it up for the first time, I realized what the Apple store lighting did to my eyesight. It tricked me into believing the MacBook glossy screen is just as good as the TrueBrite screen of my Dell. I really wanted a [...]

Remember Michael Keaton’s movie about a family who was forced to split himself into clones to fulfill all his obligations? Well, Apple ripped off that movie’s main idea for their new Get a Mac ad. In other words, Apple cloned “Multiplicity,” a movie about cloning.
The new Apple TV spot itself is a little baffling. Time [...]

If you think the Manilamac is the only laptop sleeve for your new MacBook Air, think again. WaterField, a company that makes laptop accessories such as laptop bags and notebook cases already have the ideal sleeve for the MacBook Air. It’s a little pricier than ManilaMac or AirMail at $39 but what you get is [...]

Anyone knows where the fan in the MBA is located? I’ve looked at all the pictures of the MacBook Air available and I cannot figure it out. The MacBook Air design looks practically air-tight. There’s a grill at the bottom of the notebook, which could cause problems, and you’ll know what I’m saying if [...]

One of the most memorable things at MacWorld 2008 was Steve Jobs pulling out MacBook Air from a Manila folder. That folder was no ordinary folder. It’s handmade, the material a soft “upholstery-grade vinyl” and used a lining made of fleece. Dang! I wish I could lie on such luxurious material, but no, dubbed “AirMail,” [...]

Okay, the battery replacement for the MacBook Air is fairly reasonable at $129 and installation is complete. It still comes short of having the option of changing the batteries yourself, but it’s definitely a move forward for Apple.
The thinking is, no one is going to carry a spare battery around anyways. But then what [...]
