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. I am confident that what applies to the battery I reviewed will apply across the board to all of their other batteries.

I’m not going to whine about how come there little rubber feet from my iBook came off so easily, or complain that Bill Gates just doesn’t play nicely. No, what bothers me are things that could be fixed relatively easily, or exist purely for the benefit of the manufacturers and retailers, or don’t seem to have any obvious advantages to anyone.

Time to upgrade: iBook or PowerBook?

Opinion 0

When SoundTrack came upon the scene, I was mesmerized by it’s simplicity and power. Unfortunately it was less than impressed with my Pismo. As in, it wouldn’t load, much less play. GarageBand came around after not too long and satisfied my meager song making abilities, but the seed was planted. I needed something better.
