Why I Choose Apple Apple products are truly a great buy. Yes they my more expensive but they also work great, last longer, and connect better. Apple Inc. has been a long standing company in the US and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.  Apple helps buyers choose the device that is good for their needs. Most stores nowadays don’t have the employees on staff to spend time explaining products to customers, but Apple does and will take the time. Each and every Apple Store employee is knowledgeable about their products and will take the time to find out your needs and then give you a suggested product that will meet those needs. Not like the other stores that give you a person that doesn’t understand the products, if you get help at all.  Apple products go together seamlessly. I never understood or even cared about the Apple ecosystem until I experienced it myself. My apps download on my iPad and iPhone at the same time, hand off makes it easy to switch devices and work on

Apple Keynote March 27, 2018 Today, March 27, 2018 Apple announced a new iPad! A few things seem clear to me about this particular announcement. One thing that sticks out is that Apple is really pushing the iPad. On Apples website we see a picture of the new iPad in gold with an Apple Pencil lying in front of it. The caption for the picture says “Like a computer. Unlike any computer” (Apple, 2018). The story goes on the explain that if the computer had been invented today, then it would be an iPad. It seems that everyone was right, Apple wants to faze out the Mac line and push more mobile devices.           The new iPad will feature an undated storage for both students and standard consumers. The student model comes with 200 GB and standard with 32 GB, plus it does support Apple Pencil. A new series of apps for students is also available on the new iPad also. They are called Schoolwork, and Classroom and will focus on education and progress. Coming in at just $299 for stu

iPad Pro 9.7 vs iPad 2017 9.7 I’ve been wondering what makes an iPad Pro a Pro. I’ve done some homework by reading a few articles and watching a few videos and I’ve come to the conclusion that you may not need to spend the big money on the Pro model. I personally use an iPad 2017 for all of my iPad needs and since I like using a laptop for writing I have never bought a keyboard for any heavy writing on my iPad. Lets get into what I’ve learned so far.  I will start out with the iPad 2017, my choice of a new iPad. This tablet is great at doing tablet things. I can surf the web, check eMail, watch videos, and so much more. Getting into heavier lifting isn’t out of the question either. With just a simple visit to the AppStore you can be editing videos on iMovie and editing photographs with PhotoShop express. You can write articles, school papers, and balance your finances with the Apple Office Suite or download Microsoft Office 365 with just a few touches on the Retina display.

iPad 2017 Review After a few days of using my new 2017 iPad 9.7” I’ve got to say it is a great little device. Using this tablet could actually replace a PC for most people and this isn’t even a Pro model. For casual use the tablet does everything a PC can do. It easily surfs the web of course, checks email, and has many productive apps. I’ve so far downloaded the Microsoft Office apps, it came with the Apple Office Suite, and also downloaded the BlackBoard app for my college. So here is what I think so far.  Using Pages by Apple I write my blog posts and check them for grammar and spelling. This is what I use before I copy and paste my articles into the blogger site. The Microsoft Office apps are of course what my school requires me to use for papers and graphing. This iPad has the power to run all of these with out even trying. The BlackBoard app was a little usual at first but I have since seemed to get used to it and can easily get my school assignments, post in a discu

A Visit To The Apple Store  The Power Of The Apple  My First Step Into The Apple Store Waiting On Our Apple Genius Today was a good day. I got to go visit an Apple Store for the first time. It was just as amazing as I had thought it would be. I know to some this may seem a little silly to be so happy about, but still the fact remains I really enjoy Apple products and have always wanted to visit a real Apple Store.  The reason I traveled the two hours to visit a store is another story. I had been noticing a diminishing sound quality in my iPhone 8 since I got it. I really hadn’t thought much about it until recently when I went to AT&T and had one of the store technicians look at it. He assured me that it was in fact not working properly and advised me to call the 1-800-MYIPHONE help line. I did call and didn’t get the answers I was needing with Apple Support over the phone. Now of course they where very polite and did honestly try their best to help me by runni

The MacBook Air is Still a Great Computer  Sleek And Beautiful  Ports We Have Them   That Glow Means Quality Let’s look at the MacBook Air. For those who still use the ports (and yes that’s most of us) the MacBook Air has ports. A standard USB port is a standard for most laptops still being manufactured today. Almost any external device supports USB and we almost always back-up our files on a USB drive. I still use a USB drive myself. I feel a “but” coming on here, but, do we really need to use a USB drive anymore? I love my MacBook Air, I really do. It has enough power and that Apple logo that glows on the back of the screen is truly a statement that makes people realize it’s an Apple. The Air is a little outdated when it comes to the screen, the keyboard, and now the trackpad as well. The price of the device is a huge selling point for those who want a MacBook but don’t want to pay the premium prices demanded by Apple. I honestly found my MacBook Air for $500 at

   A True MacBook 12 Inch Review Of Everyday Use  Hello dear friends. Welcome to my blog. This will be an adventure for all of us. I am starting a new blog on what I want to write about. Things that I enjoy such as technology, working out, television, my college experience, and what ever else comes to mind. Today I want to write about my new MacBook.     So, just a couple of weeks ago I purchased a new MacBook 12 inch laptop and I love it. I know all of the reviews on it say it isn't what it should be considering that it is $1300, but I still found that I enjoy this computer more that any other laptop that I have ever owned. What do I love about it, you might ask? Well for starters I love the fact that it has an Apple logo on so it will connect with to my iPad, and iPhone. Plus, I love that it is super thin, so it has a similar feel, as if I was carrying my iPad.   Look At That  The Logo Says it All     I like the Retina display that this computer has to offer. I
