Over the weekend, Appletell posted my review of the Laptop Laidback stand for relaxed computing. I suggested the device can serve as a substitute for iPadding in a reclined posture. However, I didn’t cover the Laptop Laidback’s potential utility as an iPad stand as well, and Laidback’s inventor and president Doug Martell tells me he’s personally using an iPad on a Laidback and finds its great for surfing, although for touchtyping he hasn’t yet really adapted to the software keyboard.

Hitachi has announced their thinnest external hard drive to date: the G-DRIVE Slim. At 9.9mm, it’s the thinnest external hard drive in existence. It’s the perfect accessory to supplement the internal storage available on Apple’s MacBook Air. Actually, it might even make the Air look fat, being that it’s .7 cm thinner at the Air’s thickest point. The Slim comes with 320GB of storage, connects over USB 2.0 and will retail for $99.99, just in time for the holiday season this year.

Last call for anyone not satisfied with the battery life of their MacBook. Sanho Corporation has announced they’ll be ceasing sales of HyperMac MacBook charging cables and car adapters on November 2nd, 2010 as a result of their recent legal battle with Apple. You’ll still be able to purchase a HyperMac battery after the cut-off date, but you won’t be able to buy the cable that makes it useful for a MacBook.

Apple’s iPad gets close to 10 hours of battery life under normal usage. But what if that’s not enough? And on top of that, what if you don’t have access to a power outlet? Then there’s really only one solution: an external battery. HyperMac is here, once again, to save the day and increase your battery life with their newest external battery with iPad support.

What’s worse than seeing your MacBook’s battery dip below 10%? Seeing it hit zero? Okay, fair enough. But if this happens to you often, you need a solution. HyperMac has an entire line of batteries just for this purpose. And yes, they come with MagSafe connections. But even if you just have an iPhone or iPad, the HyperMac MBP-060 has you more than covered.

I like the BookArc; let’s start with that. This device from Twelve South is a simple but solid heavy gauge steel arc in which your MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air can rest in its closed position. Why would you need that? You wouldn’t be asking if you use an external monitor and keyboard with your MacBook. Small is good when you’re considering portability. But when doing work at your desk, it’s better for your eyes and your posture to hook your laptop up to a larger monitor.

Apple has made their best effort to maximize battery life in their notebook line, but sometimes it’s just not enough. Even if battery life has been extended since previous models, the new MacBooks don’t support swapping of batteries (at least not in a usable fashion). So, what do you do? Call up HyperMac I imagine. They have a new external battery, and it does its job.

Here’s an interesting accessory. Known as the Floater from Balmuda Design, said accessory is a stand to glorify thy MacBook. Made from aluminium, it compliments the MacBook Pro (and the PowerBooks) quite nicely. Naturally, it also acts as one giant heat sink, which draws some of the heat notoriously generated by the MacBook Pros. The more »
