New Macbooks on Tuesday

October 9th, 2008

It’s official, Tuesday October 14th, Apple will release new laptops.  I’m pretty anxious to see what they have up their sleeve.  Of course, many pictures have already been leaked onto the net.  If the pictures are accurate the new Macbooks should make for nice little laptops.  Another rumour that I heard was that Apple might have laptops starting at $800.  That would be super cool!  It would mean that Apples market share would grow immensely.

Here is what I would like to see in the new Macbook

  • All aluminium case (99% sure this will happen)
  • Illuminated keyboard
  • Better speaker sound
  • Multi-touch keypad
  • One more USB port
  • LightScribe DVD burner (not likely to happen)
  • More affordable solid-state hard drives

I guess I will have to wait until Tuesday afternoon to see what the future brings for the Macbooks.

HOW TO Clean your dirty Macbook

November 1st, 2007

If you own a white Macbook you’ve probably encountered the dirty palm rest (just below the keyboard).

I was told that you can clean your macbook with clorox wipes so I went to Walmart and got some. After intense scrubbing I found that it had done no good.

What did it was the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with Clorox wipes.
