If You’re Looking For A New MacBook Computer…

Your digital media catch-up is right here.

Every Tuesday – for just a few minutes – I join Heather Backman (my old buddy from her days on CHOM FM) on the air at Jack 103 (Rogers Sports & Media) to give a quick blast about the current state of technology, media and Internet culture. We’re calling the segment Tech Tuesday (and we do it in just a few minutes).

What is Tech Tuesday?

If you ever find yourself wondering… What, exactly, is the point of TikTok? How can I make myself look better on a Zoom? Reddit? What’s that about? How do I help my kids be safer online? Who’s the latest creator and streamer that I should be checking out?

You are not alone.

This is what Heather Backman and I discussed this morning over on Jack 103 FM for a couple of minutes:

Apple’s new 16-inch MacBook Pro will have a ‘high power’ mode – Mashable.

If you’re in the market for a new computer, now may be the moment. Apple just launched their latest MacBook series. Along with better screen resolution and the like, we’ve got their new and improved M1 Max processor that is giving super-fast speed along with zero fan spinning silence gold. Perhaps the biggest news is that Apple has brought back the HDMI port, Magsafe power plug, and more USB ports (less dongle hell). Expensive? Yes. Worth it? If you’ve been waiting to upgrade… this is the moment.

Will you be upgrading to the new a MacBook?

App of the week: Mapstr. Mapstr lets you keep track of all your favorite places around the world, tag them, and find them on your very own map (and you can share with friends too).

Once the segment goes live on Jack 103, I will post it here for you to listen in, learn, share and engage….
