I've been a Mac convert for many years now, and one of the big reasons I switched was due to all the Malware issues I was experiencing with my PCs. Macs are safer! You've probably heard someone tell you that, right? But if you're under t…

I've written a few times here at Cool Mom Tech about my love-hate relationship with the new MacBook , particularly the butterfly keyboard. It makes typing so incredibly fast and easy, but it gets stuck very easily. And it's not just me! …

Turns out the Apple One-Year Warranty is way more flexible than you might realize. Or as the store associate told me on a recent visit, "you got Beats headphones that are not working or coming apart in any way? Just bring it in and we'll…

When I decided to upgrade to the new MacBook Pro at the end of last year (hello, tax write-off), I thought I had a good sense of what I was getting into. Heck, I wrote the article about it here on Cool Mom Tech when Apple first announced…

I'm still making good use out of my trusty, late 2013 MacBook Pro, but what I'm not making good use out of is the original power adapter and cord. It frayed (as with so many Apple cords over the years, sigh) and I immediately replaced it…

Today at the Apple Event, the new MacBook Pro was revealed, and let's just say we are all trying to find ways to rationalize an upgrade. If you're wondering whether you might want to trade in your older model for this new laptop, here's …

Hi, nice to meet you. I'm one of those people whose cord always somehow slips off my laptop adapter in my bag, making me that person next to you in the airport lounge or the business meeting, pulling out the big, embarrassing handful of …

As someone who works on the computer all day, I've got my various methods for keeping distractions at bay, aka "How not to check Facebook every four minutes to see who liked the photo of my daughter's artwork." But if you're like me, the…

It's very #firstworldproblems, true, but it's a tad annoying to click away from your work and log into a new app in order to see what's happening with your streaming music. The genius Skip Tunes , makes sure this little inconvenience is …

All the typing I do during the day has really built up tension in my arms, and probably other parts too. After studying up on ergonomics, I have some ideas about how to change my workspace, starting with a laptop stand for my MacBook. So…

If you're like me, you pretty much can't live without iMessage. And now that you can sync it between your iPhone or iPad and your MacBook, well, it's like a communication dream come true. Except when you need to turn it off. The buzzes a…

Back in the day -- which is, like, basically five years ago -- we had to settle for standard-issue grey, black or plain old white when it came down our power cords, accessories and important tech hardware. That was then, and now with thi…

Much to my children's delight, my new Macbook meant transferring ownership of the old one. As in the embarrassing old Macbook I've shared here before, the one with missing letters galore. Seeing as how they have yet to master the art of …

Like a lot of you, I feel like I live in my laptop. But that means I've got more than 5,000 pictures and dozens of full-length kids' movies on my laptop, so I could use a little more storage space to keep everything moving quickly. USB d…

Yesterday, Apple announced its newest gadgets, and of course we were watching closely--as anyone who follows Cool Mom Tech on Twitter knows. While there weren't many big surprises, the news was definitely cool, even if not all of it is e…

Behold, my actual MacBook Pro keyboard! Most see it and think whoa--she really abuses that S, L, C, and is that an E up there? Me, I try to see the positive side: My kids are going to rock at touch typing. Suddenly I get the benefit of a…

The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree with this natural wood keyboard for your Mac. Wood you try it? (Heh) Our inner geek is definitely piqued by this wooden MacBook Pro keyboard from RAWBKNY. Available in Bamboo or Rosewood, each pie…
