Top 4 Apple Accessories You Should Buy

January 24, 2022 | Tips

1. AirTag

The AirTag is one of Apple’s latest additions to the line of Apple accessories. It’s a keychain you can attach to anything, even non-Apple devices, and electronics. It helps you keep track of those items. You can attach an AirTag to your keys, backpack, wallet – the options are endless!

The best part of the AirTag is that you can see the location of the item it’s attached to in the Find My app. Simply put, once an item has an AirTag, it can be located just like the devices in your Find My app.

You can purchase as many AirTags as you want and pair them to your Find My app to keep track of things that are important to you. If you lose your keys and wallet frequently, then the AirTag is a great buy.

Furthermore, you can personalize your AirTags by getting free engraving services from Apple upon purchase.

2. MagSafe Battery Pack

There’s nothing better than having extra battery juice without carrying a power bank around with you all the time. That’s what the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack brings to the table for Apple fans. Not only that, but it also comes in different colors! You can match it with the rest of your electronics and Apple accessories to create an organized look.

The MagSafe magnets are compatible with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series, but there’s also a version for older iPhones called the Smart Battery Case.

Here’s how much the MagSafe Battery Pack can charge your iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, according to Apple:

  • Up to 70% additional charge with iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 13 mini and MagSafe Battery Pack*

It has an impressive fit that prevents it from falling off your head, Hi-Fi audio, noise control with Active Noise Cancellation, and Spatial Audio.

You can customize it further by getting an engraving service from Apple upon purchase. Further, the colors are the following:

  • Space Gray
  • Silver
  • Pink
  • Green
  • Sky Blue

Lastly, you get a free 6-month subscription to Apple Music.

4. USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter

If you find yourself needing USB-A and HDMI ports often, this accessory is worth the purchase. With an HDMI port, you can plug your MacBook’s display into a much bigger one.

macOS vs Windows: Which One is Right for You?

September 26, 2023 | Technology

When it comes to choosing a laptop operating system, there are two main contenders: macOS and Windows. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses, so it's important to weigh your options carefully before making a decision.

macOS

MacOS is exclusive to Apple computers. Unlike Windows, you can’t find other computer manufacturers producing units that run this operating system. This exclusivity gives Apple more control over user experience, ensuring that macOS is optimized to work seamlessly with other Apple products.

Pros

  • User-friendly interface
  • Smooth performance
  • Secure
  • Wide range of apps available
  • Good battery life

Cons

  • Can be expensive
  • Not as customizable as Windows
  • Not as many games available

Windows

Windows is a more accessible operating system that is the most common among computer manufacturers. Since it’s widely used, Windows users benefit from a lot of computer brand and model choices and customization.

Pros

  • Wide range of hardware support
  • More customizable than macOS
  • More games available
  • More affordable

Cons

  • Can be less user-friendly than macOS
  • Not as secure as macOS
  • Performance can be inconsistent

Which one is right for you?

The best way to decide which operating system is right for you is to consider your needs and preferences. If you're looking for a user-friendly and secure operating system with a wide range of apps available, then macOS is a good choice. If you need an operating system that's highly customizable and has a wide range of games available, then Windows is a good choice.

Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between macOS and Windows:

FeaturemacOSWindows

Ultimately, the best way to decide which operating system is right for you is to try both and see which one you prefer. You can do this by installing a virtual machine on your current computer or by purchasing a new laptop with the operating system you want.

Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing between macOS and Windows:

  • Your budget: macOS laptops are typically more expensive than Windows laptops.
  • Your needs: If you need a laptop for work, macOS is a good choice because it's very secure. If you need a laptop for gaming, Windows is a good choice because there are more games available.
  • Your preferences: If you prefer a user-friendly interface, macOS is a good choice. If you prefer a highly customizable operating system, Windows is a good choice.
