Unboxing: Apple 60W MagSafe MacBook Pro AC Adapter

This is short, sweet and semi-artsy but it's always fun to unbox an Apple product. Here is my brand new L-shaped MagSafe charger for my 13" MacBook Pro. My original t-shaped one broke.



I love the new aluminum look! This adapter also feels much more secure in terms of ergonomics and magnetic connection with my MacBook Pro. Thank you so much for watching! Which Mac laptop are you using?

Complete Tour of a Geeky Girl's Room

I was bit by the "room tour bug" in July of this past summer. Now that I've moved into a more permanent home, I thought the time had come for a another one.

When decorating, I tried to keep my setup minimal and clean. That's why I chose the simplistic yellow, black and white color scheme. It's quite nice to have a desk to sit at again and all of my tech gadgets in one place. I strongly recommend a similar setup for you productivity gurus out there! What is your favorite gadget in my room?



I was also happy to place small LOST tokens and things of that nature amongst the room to add a personal feel. This is a bit longer than my usual videos but there's plenty of technological eye candy to keep you busy! What's in YOUR room?

It’s “Back to School” time of year again! In the past two years, I’ve learned a couple of tricks about being a tech geek in college, so I wanted to share them with you all.

Though these rules are targeted at those of you moving into college, if you are in high school, it couldn't hurt to have some of these items for the future.

So, what’s in your college suitcase?

Review of the MacBook Air

Today, I'm going to do a review of the MacBook Air. 

Firstly, I want to mention that the MacBook Air is great for travel.  It's extremely thin, light-weight and can fit into most laptop bags and backpacks.  You could probably even fit it into a binder and no one would know you had it with you.

The MacBook Air is one of the thinnest laptops in the world and yet it also packs a punch of processing power.  It includes a 1.4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 120GB SSD, and a Nvidia GeForce 320M.

The surprising thing with this laptop is how much it can do with specs like it has.  It's very good for everything from web browsing to basic movie editing in iMovie.  It can usually multitask very well and is comparable to my "27 i7 iMac in a lot of cases.  I've also used it to make screencasts before for my YouTube channel and it works very well while doing that.  It also think it isn't too bad for importing or exporting video in iMovie but not nearly as fast as my iMac and don't recommend it for advanced editing. 

I also like the battery life.  The battery life isn't that great when the WiFi is turned on but when you turn off the Bluetooth and the WiFi it can last for usually about 2-3 hours on a full charge.

My Rating: 8/10

It's a great laptop but I wish it could have a better GPU.  Other than that, it's a great laptop!

What do you think?  Post it in the comments!
