The purpose of a MagSafe connector is to have the power cable disconnect without pulling your laptop off the table should something snag the cable, but the MagStay MS-01 offers you a way to keep the cable firmly connected to your laptop if that feature bothers you. The MagStay Power Connection Lock for MagSafe 2 accessory [...]

Not often do manufacturers design a laptop bag with one specific brand or even model in mind. I am not talking about a form-fitted case or sleeve, but an actual bag created and/or named to hold a certain device. But the folks at WaterField Designs have done just that; the HardCase is aimed specifically at Apple’s 13″ [...]

I love my 11″ MacBook Air, and it’s great to travel with. It’s great to use at home, too, but sometimes I do wish for a bigger screen when I’m editing photos for my reviews or for a couple extra USB ports. The docking stations from LandingZone give the Airs some features Apple didn’t. Depending [...]

Have you ever used a pointing device that wasn’t a mouse? I’ve used a trackball and touchpad, but they didn’t make me change from my mouse. When I discovered the Pen Mouse by Genius, I figured it was worth a try, especially since I have been experiencing some wrist pain using the mouse. Who knows, maybe [...]

Google has released its Chromebook Pixel, which looks like the nicest in the Chromebook series yet! It has a 12.85″ display with a 3:2 aspect ratio and super high pixel density – about 239 pixels/inch. They say this is more than the average 118 pixel/inch on other leading laptops, which will give us an ultra [...]

This post brought to you by Lenovo. All opinions are 100% mine. For decades, celebrities and Hollywood stars have flocked to Utah in January to see (and be seen) the selection of films featured at the Sundance Film Festival. This year’s Festival just ended a few days ago, and as expected, it was crowded with [...]

I have an 11″ MacBook Air laptop, and I love that it’s tiny enough to carry it most anywhere I go. What I don’t love is the possibility of scratching my shiny aluminum laptop, so I need a sleeve to protect my MBA while it’s being carried in another bag. I’ve found, once I read [...]

We Gadgeteers haul our tech everywhere. Sometimes, we just need a few things, sometimes we need a lot. Sometimes we need to look presentable and business-like, sometimes it’s OK to look like we’re packing for a trip into a war zone or the wilderness. The 13″ Smart Sleeve for Mac from iHome is for those [...]

Sometimes you just need a little bit of light. This portable USB light from IPEVO is a convenient, not to mention inexpensive, addition to a laptop bag.

Many computer users these days have switched from using desktops to laptops. Laptops are smaller, portable and provide the same functionality as desktops, but the problem with most laptops is that they have a smaller than desirable screen size. I personally use both a 11″ MacBook Air and a 15″ Retina MacBook Pro. But both [...]

A few months ago, I wrote a news post about some MacBook Air cases that incorporated a stand into the design. I ordered one of the cases, the Artmu 11″ MacBook Air Stand Pouch, from eBay. Julie was able to request a review sample of the other style, the Opt MagicQ MacBook Air Case, that I’ve [...]

In an effort to cure a raging case of tech boredom, I’ve been trying some experiments to see if various gadgets have the ability to replace my 13″ Macbook Air as my go to workhorse computer. I recently tried this with a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Android tablet to less than a stellar outcome. Now [...]

These new products from Logitech allow you to add touch to your current laptop just by replacing your mouse or adding a touchpad. The Zone Touch Mouse T400 (top [...]

LaCie has produced a key-shaped USB drive for some time, and their new PetiteKey is a tough little brother of their original Iamakey that Julie reviewed a few years ago. The PetiteKey is only 1.61″ X 0.83″ X 0.14″ and weighs 0.26 ounces. This USB 2.0 drive has transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps. It has [...]

Earlier this year, I reviewed Col. Littleton’s No. 1943 Navigator Briefcase, which I continue to use daily to carry around my gear. There is not a week that goes by that I do not receive at least one compliment about how nice/gorgeous my bag is. That being said, the Colonel has recently announced a sibling [...]
