Apple offers a line of tablets for $299 and up. But Apple’s iPads all run the same operating system as the company’s iPhones. If you want a tablet that runs OS X you’ll need to build your own… or pay someone else to do it. This summer a company called Modbook launched a Kickstarter campaign […]

MacBook Air reviewed
With a starting price of $999, it’s hard to call the new MacBook Air a netbook… if your definition of netbook is a small, cheap computer. But as far as Apple laptops come, the MacBook Air is probably the closest we’re ever going to get to a netbook. It’s smaller and lighter than a typical […]
