    Where are all the reasonably priced Haswell & Kabini ultrabooks?

    I spent a lot of time exploring the notebook market before I had to get one for school a few weeks ago. Absolutely nothing came out that met my expectations. The closest was the Vaio Pro, but it seems pretty overpriced for the specs. I'm suspect the touchscreens are adding a bit to the cost...

    Buy Macbook Pro now or wait?

    Got a 13" MBA (base config). Great deal from Best Buy, on sale for $1000, $100 student discount, $25 AMEX credit from twitter linkage ($875 seems pretty good when you put it against similar speced windows ultrabooks). I'm going to use this until the Haswell pros come out, then it goes to the...

    separating LCD from glass/digitizer on phone

    Despite swearing it would never happen to me, I've gone and broken the glass screen on my droid DNA. I didn't really break it, some charging monster of a woman in the Hogsmead area of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter barged into me and sent it flying, but what is done is done. After a few...

    Buy Macbook Pro now or wait?

    It's hard to imagine what specialty I will go into. Most people change their minds when they do have an idea but I have no clue. I will probably pursue whatever I am best at in rotations. If I do buy used and resell, what kind of hit could I expect to take?

    Buy Macbook Pro now or wait?

    Sounds like the consensus is wait. I guess I knew but just didn't want to, I have been very eager to get my laptop ever since I decided on the mbp. The battery life gain from Haswell on the air is too big to ignore for the pro. I don't think I can rent a computer then buy when the new ones are...

    Buy Macbook Pro now or wait?

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice. I'm going back to school after a six year venture into the world of professionals and I've decided to get a 15" MacBook to bring to school, the base retina model. The thing is, I'm going in vacation next week and would love to bring it along for the...
