Fresh-in, Apples renowned laptop notebooks are now available for financing for the U.S. Military and Civilian DoD employees. Not many, like myself are avid Mac users, but have been debating whether or not to make the leap to the Mac World. Macintosh is by far a much more graphic based and cool interface system, but compatibility, limited parts, and often higher prices has discouraged a lot of users to start the learning process. However, the new MacBooks and MacBooks Pro just may be the product that makes you switch.

MacBook PRO Financed

Lets start of with the newest laptops by Apple, the MacBook Pros. Available in 2 sizes, 15 inch and 17 inch and two different Core 2 Duo Processors, the 2.16Ghz or 2.33Ghz. This makes it almost 40% faster that the predecessor MacBook. If speed is what you need, don’t look at the write up listed below. Never mind, read it cause I spent time writing it up. The new processor, the Intel Core Duo, makes this the first dual-processor laptop Apple has ever made. The MacBook Pro’s system bus runs at 667MHz, four times the speed of the PowerBook’s 167MHz bus. The new PCI Express-based graphics technology offers 8GBps of total bandwidth, which is eight times that of the PowerBook’s 4x AGP graphics system. The drives now use the fast Serial ATA technology. The RAM is dramatically faster. The MacBook Pro adds more convenience by including the Front Row Apple Remote control. This makes it ideal for presentation, music, movies, and laying around surfing. Another great feature that I personally look for in every laptop now is a built in web camera, and of course MacBook Pro has one. I hate dealing with cables and packing up of extra peripheral devices. The more built in features the better for those who actually want a laptop to be mobile. The iSight, the built in webcam name for those who are not yet familiar with Apple, sets you up for easy video conferencing and video chatting with love ones or possible love ones on those long deployments. Okay, lets break it down and get inside this arts farts notebook and see if its got power to match its style.

Below is a great picture of a sign in a Marine’s Barracks over in Iraq. We just added the missing text at the bottom. Just thought it would fit well on our new blog and help show our support for what our Military is doing!

I am sure most of you have heard of this story, but I thought I would post about it since it has been circulating on the internet. Kevin Garrad of the 3rd Infantry Division looks to have gotten a little assistance from an unexpected source while on a street patrol in Iraq. While he came around a corner of a building, the iPod in his pocket got in the path of a bullet fired at close range by an insurgent. This caused the bullet to slow down enough that it didn’t pierce his body armor. Even more unlikely was that the fallen iPod an HP iPod! HP no longer sells Apple’s iPod making it somewhat of a limited edition series. Incidentally, HP is now selling a new lineup of electronic gadgets.

From what I have gathered, the insurgent fired a AK-47 making it a 7.62×39 bullet that made contact. Most likely, the iPod played little or no role in saving this soldier’s life. However the fact still remains that a bullet did puncture the iPod allowing for a great story that the solider almost didn’t get to tell. Ballistics test show that the iPod most likely deformed the round so that the energy was dispersed and ensured that the bullet did not pierce the body armor. Normally, body armor can only stop a bullet fired from an AK-47 from long range.

iPod Takes A Bullet

We finally got our new site up with a plethora of new options, better pricing, and easier navigation. You are now in the Blog, and here I will be able to discuss 800HighTech, upcoming annoucements and and upcoming sales, review products and components, and shout up recent news related to computers and the military.

I will slowly build up content, but eventually will have an extensive database of help resource and information!
