Essential Parts and Upgrades for your Mac.

Clients query all the time, what is the best external hard drive for my Mac? Whats the best Tv Tuner for my Mac? Can I upgrade the Superdrive in my G4? Can I really put a 500Gb drive in my G4 iMac?

AuburnCom supplies and Recommends only the finest, fully tested and most satisfactory products on the market for the Mac, If a Hard rive fails our quality tests for any reason, be it too loud or be it's warranty too short, we won't recommend or endorse it no matter what, there's an expression in the IT business that you can only have two factors in your solution out of the three available factors: Good, Fast and Cheap.

The Products we recommend will always contain the first two of these two qualities!

Auburncoms Current Recommendation: Macbook Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz at Amazon for $994.99 after $100 rebate!

The entire Macbook Line is a tremendously solid line up of industrial strength machines, Amazon is currently offering great rebates on the entire line and we've seen the black Macbook ($1499 plus Tak at Apple) for under $1300 after rebates, these computers some with features that you won't find on laptops at any price point from other manufacturers including slot loading dvd drives, 802.11n Wireless networking, Magsafe connectors and More.
If you're a Graphic design professional or avid gamer you may need a MacBook Pro as ths Macbooks use integrated graphics and that will result in lower frame rates for graphics intensive processes like video rendering or 3d gaming.
As a footnote, We must point out that all MacBooks contain the Dual monitor feature that was sorely absent on iBooks of years gone by, Graphics Professionals used to be forced to buy a Powerbook for dual monitor mode as iBooks hadn't the graphics firepower to drive dual displays, but rest assured your Macbook for $994.99 from Amazon will easily enable you to double your screen real estate by plugging a Cinema Dislpay into the mini dvi port on the macbook.
