Newertech NuPower Mac Laptop Batteries – Review

Battery, Macbook, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, OWC, PowerBook G3, PowerBook G4 0

I chose to review the white non unibody 13″ MacBook battery, because I had a suitable MacBook, now used by my daughter, in need of a replacement battery.

As a high school science teacher for the past 18 years, I’ve had the opportunity to try out a number of bags to carry the myriad of papers, laptops, iPads, and books back and forth to school each day. I put these bags through their paces and I’ve seen some pretty decent bags and some pretty awful ones too. When Thule sent me their 15″ Crossover Messenger Bag, I could tell right away that it was built with quality and durability in mind.

Cases, Review 0

I’ve been using a laptop computer for almost nine years. In that time I’ve never owned a laptop case, even though it was the first thing I bought my kids when they got their own laptops.
