Free Macbook Air Facebook Ad is a SCAM
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Do the Google research yourself if you need to, but if you see an ad on Facebook for a free laptop, yes, it is a scam. We've worked with laptops for a long time and while they've gone down in price, they not free.
And no, there are no 'laptop testers needed', by the time a laptop is manufactured it has already been tested.

New Apple laptops on October 14 2008?
Friday, October 10, 2008
October 14, 2008 new Apple laptops are being unveiled.
Apple likes to create a little stir online about their products. What will it be? A new laptop? Will it be compatible with Microsoft's operating systems? Will this help Apple's stock price?
Our main question is: Will the new laptops be completely proprietary and have Apple offering insane repair prices that we can probably beat by 75%?
We'll see!
