mad mac

New MacBooks! There's just nothing like popping the lid on a well-designed piece of kit to ease you into a creative frame of mind…if I'm creating something beautiful (I hope), I want to use something beautiful.

'Just put your fingers on the crisp keys and you’ll feel pure typing bliss.' It might sound like bullshit…but I just know it's not.

'The amazing new trackpad doubles as a button — just press down anywhere and consider it clicked. No separate button means there’s 39 percent more room for your fingers to move on the silky glass surface. Now that Multi-Touch gestures have come to MacBook, all the function is in your fingers.' SideTrack has been my best buddy for a long time…this generates paroxysms of delight.

All just in time for Christmas lists!
