Unibody 17" MacBook Pro is Super!

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Ok, I am not a fan boy of Apple or Steve Jobs but since the introduction of the MacBook about 4 years ago I have been wanting to drink the Kool-Aid something terrible. With that said, it is worth mentioning that I have never actually owned an Apple product other than the 2G iPhone. However, with today’s announce of the forthcoming Unibody MacBook Pro may just change that.

Spec include an 17″ LED backlit widescreen display, up to 8 GB of 1066 DDR3 RAM (otherwise known as superfast RAM), 8 hours of battery life, an option for a 256 GB SSD plus NVIDA 9400M and a 9600M GT graphics processors. Everything is wrapped up in the sweet aluminum unibody case. There is even an option for a non-glossy display. Oh yeah, it weighs just 6.6 pounds. Sure a fully loaded unit blows past $4K but isn’t that a small price to pay for cutting edge?

Grab It: Apple MacBook Pro MB604LL/A 17-Inch Laptop (2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, Slot Loading SuperDrive)

Safety First: Dewalt Anti-Fog Goggles

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

I am not sure about the rest of the world, but one of my worst fears is going blind.  So I take the “Safety First” motto very seriously.  Unfortunately, a lot of the eye protection gear is bulky, uncomfortable or both.  I have found the Dewalt safety goggles, to pretty much solve both of these problems, plus I liked having the option to use the tinted pair when working outside.  The manufacturer claim of anti-fog is pretty accurate.  I have experiences a bit of fogging from time to time, but nothing significant and at just $11.99 I’d say these goggles are worth the price.
