Todd Clarke's Technology Corner v2.0

For Sale – single owner Macbook Pro – 15″ display – core i7 2.7Ghz, paid $2,549 in October 2010.

Another shot of Custom Mac case (included)

Not covered under apple care, was used for about 9 months, then I upgraded to my MacBookAir.

Great machine – just slightly big to carry in daily meetings.

Upgrades:

– I replaced the 500 gb drive with a 1 Tb drive

– I replaced the SuperDVD drive with a second 1 TB Drive (for total storage of 2 tb)

– I moved the SuperDVD into an external case (it can be moved internally with the removal of 10 screws and about 10 mins of work).

– I custom designed and made a case that holds an iPad (any model) and iPhone (4) to the top cover of the laptop – this has allowed me to use the Mac as my briefcase during the day (more on this in an article here.)

I’ve currently configured the machine to dual boot between Max OS X and Windows 7 using Bootcamp AND it can run them side by side using Parralells .  I cannot include any of the software (office, adobe, etc.) as the registrations numbers have been used on my newer machines, BUT, if you want to buy the software, I will custom configure the machine for you.

A comparably new MacBookPro will set you back $2,549.  One thing to note, the MacbookPro I have for sale is the last model to offer an internal DVD drive as the new models do not offer that feature any more (important for all of those CCIM files we have!)

So my price is $1,599 – which is $1,000 less than what I paid, or what they are selling for now.  Sure, you can order a new low end MacBookPro for $1,799, but for this price, I will custom install and setup any software/configuration you would like (normally I charge $325/hr for that)

Includes some interesting items like a dual screen Android ereader, iPods, bluetooth presenters/mice, etc.

and Todd Clarke customized MacbookPro (2010) with 1 terrabyte drive + DVD or 2 terrabyte drives – $1,500+any software you want me to install/config.

If you need to have the Internet with you while you travel, there are a number of options from tethering your mobile phone, to portable Wi-Fi like devices to a tetherless iPhone that acts like a Wi-Fi Router.

IREM recently had me review some of the latest and greatest tools in their Journal of Property Management, a publication of the Institute of Real Estate and Management for publishing our article on mobile internet devices. The article compares hardware, speeds, and services offered by the major mobile phone operators.

My wife’s iPhone stopped charging and wouldn’t sync.  Apple wanted to reset and if that didn’t work, sell us a new phone.

While a new phone to replace her 3Gs is a nice idea, the problem is she hadn’t backedup her phone in ages.

Fortunatley, we found Fullbars on Albuquerque’s westside.  In less than an hour and for $75 they had her back up and running- thank you Fullbars!

Yes.

Cnet has tracked down a refurbished netbook for only $249 and that includes Windows 7 (starter).

If you are in the my market and ok with used computers, I’ve been able to pickup a number of netbooks for $100 on Craigslist.com or Craiglook.com.
