It really intrigues me for some strange reasons. Day in day out I see posts about how a 13″ MacBook Pro can’t support one’s needs. What gives? The thing trumps anything you could get two years ago and people still made and watched 1080P HD videos back then. The question that bugs me the most is: Why do people feel that they must own the latest in computing to be…

It doesn’t matter. Let me explain why by first adding that I just got my hands on a 2009 Macbook Air. A friend of my girlfriend bought it and let her use it until there is someone who can bring it over to him, which means I’ve got some time to test it, but I don’t really have to. I could run benchmarks all day long and it wouldn’t matter,…

Last week the new MacBook Air line hit the market like a sophisticated sledgehammer. Every tech site worth its salt reviewed it, and they’re happy with the performance, battery life and everything. All those are irrelevant. Let me tell you why. My fiancée doesn’t wear pink unless it’s unavoidable. She doesn’t go around town wielding a trendy handbag just because it’s trendy. She gets her paycheck for what you’d consider…

People keep asking me what the deal with that is. I have a rather decent external display and a MacBook Pro 13″, and use the latter with its lid closed and under the desk. They can’t figure out what my motivations are with that. When you think about it for a second, they’ve got a point, I could have a second LED backlit display with 1280 x 800 pixels resolution….

Dell has just released the XPS 15Z and it’s not very far from having fallen on its face. They went against the 15″ Macbook Pro’s design and the 13″ Macbook Pro’s performance, and have fallen between the two. And on the face, of course. What does a MacBook Pro have the Dell does not? Build quality for starters. You don’t have to grab a Dell XPS 15Z and start twisting…

Looks like I had been missing the arrival of this new 11″ gaming laptop from Alienware up until just recently, but Cnet was so kind as to remind me just in time. Without much further yada, let’s get into why I didn’t see it coming. Cons I wasn’t really paying attention to it if I’m honest. Why? Let’s admit, the Alienware M11X is so far away from everything a sane…

Chrome Netbooks launched this week, which means everyone is talking about them. Yes, I’m serious, the Internet won’t stop echoing the voice of masses who went on and bought their Chrome OS powered mini notebook. Or was I dreaming that… Anyway, the point is, you might be interested in knowing what differences you will see between a cloud OS powered and an old-school OS. First of all, the most important…

Google is a big enough company to turn a head when they release a new line of products. This time the company is pulling the strings from behind rather than offering its own branded hardware for sale; ChromeOS netbooks are going to debut from Acer and Samsung in the first round, if you don’t count Kogan’s release of a domestic product to Australian (and UK) market. Netbook Material If I…
