Appletell reviews the BookArc Desktop Stand for MacBooks

by Kirk Hiner on Nov 6, 2009 at 11:09 AM

I like the BookArc; let’s start with that. This device from Twelve South is a simple but solid heavy gauge steel arc in which your MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air can rest in its closed position. Why would you need that? You wouldn’t be asking if you use an… Continue Reading »

Appletell reviews HyperMac’s External MacBook Power Battery

by Jake Gaecke on Jul 16, 2009 at 06:42 AM

Apple has made their best effort to maximize battery life in their notebook line, but sometimes it’s just not enough.

by Ed Parry on May 26, 2009 at 02:21 PM

When the MagSafe power adapter first appeared with Apple’s laptops, people loved it. Its intuitive use of a magnet to ensure nothing gets ripped and broken if the wire is pulled, was great.

Appletell reviews Speck SeeThru and PortPack Shoulder Bag for MacBooks

by Kirk Hiner on Apr 27, 2009 at 07:58 AM

I’m fairly certain there was a time when a single laptop bag was enough. But these days, laptops have become light enough that people are willing to carry them places they haven’t before, and they’re common enough to be used in classrooms, kitchens and restaurants.
