Fare thee well, ye olde MacBook.

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

A famous Beatle once stated, “all things must pass”. There comes a time when great things must settle down and move on. That time has come for one of the most successful computer models in history…the MacBook (not to be confused with the MacBook Pro). Yes. Today marks the official day when the MacBook has been discontinued. Farewell my old friend.

Now, the cheapest Mac notebook on the market is the amazing MacBook Air. Obviously, Apple see’s the MacBook Air as the future of their notebook line. The MacBook Air is truly a technical achievement, and starting at $999, it is more affordable than ever. Despite its current shortcomings (limited HD space, no optical drive…), the MacBook Air is a marvel. Oh yeah, HELLO THUNDERBOLT!!  If you don’t know what Thunderbolt is, read this article from Gizmodo.

Still, to me, nothing can replace the simplicity and convenience of the old MacBook…except the 13.3″ MacBook Pro

At the time of its release, the MacBook was, quite simply, a revolution not only for Apple, but for the notebook industry.  Let’s face it, Mac OS X was awesome with a PPC processer, but with the Intel processor, the darn thing just soared.  My old MacBook (purchased in 2007) still runs circles around some of my friend’s newer Windows based computers.  The only flaw that I truly felt with my MacBook was the fact that its integrated video card was not that great.  Sure, not being able to play Portal on my MacBook sucked, but that’s what I have an Xbox for.

Let’s not be sad of that fact that the MacBook will no longer be around, let us all celebrate it.  Here is to looking to the future…

Farewell ye olde MacBook.

YouTube Review / Testimonial

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Hey all — Happy Friday!

I wanted to take this opportunity to talk for a sec about what we’ve been up to and to show off a nice YouTube video review.

As always, there’s a lot going on out here in our little corner of Kansas City.

I was on vacation most of last week (13th-16th) but returned just in time to see a new record broken at iResQ. Believe it or not, we received more product this week than we have so far in all of 2010. That’s quite the statement, considering we historically see a little bit of a volume drop in the dog days of Summer. Not this year! Congrats to us, and thanks to all the great customers who have sent in their products for repair. We are always here for you!

Since that’s settled… on to the next item. We found out that one of our customers made a YouTube video about their experience and wanted to share it with our avid blog readers or the first-time visitor who is considering trying us out.

The customer ordered our Matte MacBook LCD Screen Repair/Replacement and was happy with his service. He also explains that Apple did not manufacture this model of MacBook with a matte screen. He talks a little about his his experience with iResQ, so if you’re on the fence and trying to decide whether to send your precious Apple product in, you can take comfort in his words.

See the video below. Thanks to our customer, uxwbill, for putting this together. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
