Other World Computing – Great Website
Saturday, June 28th, 2008
I am a frequent shopper at Other World Computing – http://www.macsales.com. They have a huge an excellent online store full of Mac accessories, hardware, and upgrades. They also have tutorials on installing hardware. Their prices are reasonable and their shipping is fast. If you have an old mac that you want to upgrade, OWC has guides that help you select the right upgrade hardware for your model.
MacBook Air
Friday, June 27th, 2008
I bought the MacBook Air back in April to use as a work machine when I travel. It’s the perfect size for traveling. It compliments my other Macs nicely. I only store temporary files on the machine and move them to a permanent hard drive when I am local. I didn’t buy the optional super drive for it. I rarely use CDs or DVDs anymore. Most of the stuff I need is on a .Mac (soon to be MobileMe) account or on a VPN. This machine replaced a Macbook.
For normal day-to-day assignments I alternate between a MacPro, 15″ & 17″ MacBook Pro, a PowerMac G5, and a Mac Mini. I recommend this machine if you need a lightweight machine for travel or if you don’t do a lot of graphic design or video editing. It sure is nice carrying this on a plane as opposed to a 17″ MBP.
