The sleeve has an extremely soft material inside to protect your MacBook and avoid it getting scratched while having a flexible but firm neoprene outside. Along the sides of the case it is reinforced to give extra strength and padding so if it is resting on it in the bag it is still protected. It has zips on the top to allow you to easily put in and remove your laptop.

Although it is designed to snugly fit a MacBook Pro unibody, it does support and fit all 13″ MacBooks just with a little bit of room for them to move around.

Overall I think that this is a really good case and well worth investing it once you have got a MacBook or MacBook Pro as you don’t want your expensive laptop getting scratched or even worse broken.

One of the things that I like is that you can set the track wheel to have a friction less rotation or staggered. This then enables you to scroll through large documents quickly, easily and effortlessly. This is done via a little button on the base of the mouse.

There are three additional programable buttons which you can set by using the Logitech software (work’s great on OSX 10.6), I have set my search button for Expose and left the forward and backwards buttons as they are to speed up navigating around websites.

Also compared to my previous mouse the battery life is great, a normal set of AA batteries will last just under a year where with my old one I had to recharge my rechargeable batteries at least once a fortnight.

Overall the feel of the mouse is great and if you are looking for a reasonably priced, wireless mouse you should defiantly consider getting one of these.

Now onto the product, the laptop made from one piece of aluminium and its high quality keyboard makes for the best typing experience. the trackpad with all the finger movements to act as shortcuts to open Expose or scroll through a webpage just adds to the experience.

It is running Snow Leopard the latest OS released by Apple. It has few minor GUI updates but quite a bit backend adjustments to increase performance. The main GUI enhancements differences are: the new Quicktime X and a transparency added on the stacks and folder’s on the dock.

The backlit keyboard and the battery indicator are just one of the ways Apple makes great use of LED’s on its laptops. The way in which the backlit keyboard and screen brightness adjusts when the light in the room you are in alters makes you think about all the thought Apple puts into it’s products.

To display my computer information (computer name, os details, ram and processor) I use the code:

scutil --get ComputerName;
sw_vers | awk -F':\t' '{print $2}' | paste -d ' ' - - - ;
sysctl -n hw.memsize | awk '{print $0/1073741824"gb RAM"}';
sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string;

For the date and time I used the following codes:

date +%d

For numerical value of the day.

date +%B

For name of month.

date +%H:%M

For time (hours:minutes).

date +%A

For the day.

For the harddrive information (just replace disk0s1 with the drive number and partition you want to show) I used the following code:

df -hl | grep 'disk0s1' |
awk '{print $4 " free " "("$2")"}' |
sed s/Gi/gb/g

Also with icalBuddy you can have it display uncompleted tasks, upcoming events and much more on your desktop all form your iCal calendar. The script below is for tasks that need to be done:
