Please allow me to gush for a moment, because it is not something I’m usually inclined to do … I truly enjoy using my little 11″ MacBook Air; it is the computer that I grab when I don’t want to be tied to a desk. I use it on the couch, I use it outside [...]

Laptop Gear Review: USB 2.0 Port Replicator with Digital Video
My computer usage has undergone a radical change over the last year. Actually, that is not entirely true.

At this time a year ago I had a [...]

Coming Soon: Lenovo’s Video Docking Station with DisplayLink Technology
After a brief flirtation with using a Mac Mini desktop system in addition to my 13″ MacBook Air, I’m back to “laptop-only living”; it works well thanks to high-resolution screens, great battery life and enough power to handle just about anything that is thrown at it. One of the things that make laptop-only living easier [...]
iPhone Accessory Review: WOW-keys Keyboard for Mac, PC, iPhone and iPod touch
For the last few months my MacBook Air has been my main computer. It works quite well for me and, thanks to the large solid-state drive and the ability to connect it to a larger monitor, it serves as a desktop computing platform quite well. When I do connect it to a larger monitor, I [...]
Seagate GoFlex Satellite Gives You 500GB of Storage on the Go!
Now this is pretty neat. Not long ago Seagate rolled out the slimmest portable hard drive on the market, the GoFlex Slim. We reviewed it here and I’ve been using it daily since! Now they are offering a 564GB iPad 2! Okay, that’s not quite accurate but they DO make it possible for you to [...]
Altec Lansing Announces Orbit USB Stereo Speakers
Here’s something Francis and I saw at CES last January and have been anticipating the release since. Altec Lansing has just rolled out their new Orbit Stereo Speakers. They are USB-powered, small enough to bring with you but still pack Altec Lansing’s signature sound quality. In other words, they are small in size but not [...]

Review: Samson Meteor Mic
About two weeks ago Thomas mentioned a brand-new microphone that was about to be released, the Sampson Meteor Mic. He told me that it not only had a great look to it but that all reports indicated it worked beautifully. It was small, easily transportable thanks to its fold up design, and it looked pretty [...]

This Silva Bamboo MacBook Case looks pretty darn awesome. It is super slim and, as a result, doesn’t seem to add too much size to your MacBook. In fact it pretty much looks like what a bamboo MacBook would look like. The case is handmade of raw bamboo that is milled-out To make room for [...]
Computer Accessory Review: Field Monitor Pro with DisplayLink Technology
This is my 13″ MacBook Air. I love it. Especially now that Apple fixed it after my clumsiness a few weeks ago (when I dumped a drink on top of it). With 4 GB of RAM and 256 GB of solid-state storage, the laptop doesn’t feel like a compromise in any way shape or form. [...]
I Reviewed It and I Still Use It: The “Thank You Ergotron” Edition
I reviewed the Ergotron Sit–Stand Desk last September. This work-station modification allows you to work at your desk in either a sitting or standing position merely by lifting the entire assemblage up or down. It is truly an impressive piece of equipment, and at close to $400 certainly not inexpensive. My review concluded with: So [...]
Review: Seagate GoFlex Slim Performance Drive
Judie’s and my first meeting at CES 2011 was with Seagate. (We posted about it here.) Toward the end of the visit we came upon a hard drive that was as stylish as it was function. At the time all we were allowed to write about it was this: Concept drive – We also saw [...]
