real world report on the i7 13".."I've had some time now to work on my new 13" MacBook Pro. It's amazing, I'm running sessions with 70 + tracks, running multiple plug-ins (reverbs, compressors, eq's) and there hasn't been a problem at all. Since I'm traveling a lot and mixing and editing on the road, I think the 13" is perfect in size and in power. Thanks so much for all your advice and for the computer I couldn't be happier!"

Storage and Backup
3 year warranty on all drives, some with 5 year

NewerTech MacMini stacks In stock

Why buy a USB key - 120 gigs in a tiny format starting at $77

Backup with ease...Backup is critical.
For as little as $77 including the hard drive you can have totally safe backup!! . The backups are easy and as frequent as you wish and if something goes wrong on the main drive you can immediately boot into the backup. What are you waiting for??
We've rescued way too many "almost disasters" in the last few months where drive component failures or directory failures have put important data at risk. Storage is so cheap right now there is simply no reason not to have backup and preferably removable backup like Firewire drives that can be kept away from the computer in case of theft. ANY Mac with a PCI port can have a Firewire port for less than $50.

Are you protected? Power outs and surges can be hard on equipment and Ontario has had it's share. We have excellent Pro level 1500 VA UPS units Along with backup this is a key strategy and now at lower prices for Pro systems.

Drive recovery. Despite our years of warning sometimes drives fail at awkward moments. We get most of these drives back at a reasonable price. PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING YOURSELF.

NEC Refurbs back update - yippee ;-)

My first impressions of the 3090WQXi, after removing it from its huge box and setting it up on my desk, were pure astonishment. Without even the slightest hint of tweaking or calibration, the picture quality on this NEC is superb, and eclipses every other 30in monitor I have seen. That was just initial visual impact though, and further familiarity with this display just reinforced my first impression of this screen.

update> We discovered to our delight that some of these have extended warranty out to 2015.

They're baccccccck! NEC Factory refurbs 2090, 2490, 2690 to 27s and 30's and many demos with extended warranty - some to 2015

In the colour business for 20+ years have had many displays, never has their been one as accurate.
invited colleagues to see it they were just as amazed P.Legg

"I have been using my NEC 2090uxi for about 2 years already, so far no issues. I 'dual-head' two 2090uxi monitors at home (due to my small desk space) and a 2690uxi in my studio.
As a past Eizo user, I find NEC XX90uxi series monitors better and more cost effective than Eizo ColorEdge."

Who is it For?
If you're a photographer or designer working with color managed applications, and the best display you've ever used is an Apple Cinema Display,
 this monitor will rock your world. Its ease of calibration and color quality is outstanding. Most especially, if you are going to print your work on a high-quality printer, you'll appreciate being able to see what you are going to print that much more accurately."

Lion a SERIOUS caution Apple has released 10.7 and we strongly advise a clone before you upgrade. In addition do some maintenance on your drive. We would suggest cloning to a bootable external and test running Lion before you put it on your main drive. Rosetta apps will not work. Some cool stuff but tread carefully. YOU CANNOT MIGRATE BACK unless you have a 10.6 backup.

Current iMac models a caution - Update. Apple in it's questionable wisdom in this case has created a problem with the drives in the new iMacs We feel there is sufficient work around now to lift the caution. Extended Applecare recommended as the big iMacs do run hot.

Ditch the plastic and get with these dense wood cabinets for rich, musky bass. With both 1/4” and RCA inputs and magnetically-shielded speakers, this highly portable system plays nice with any computer or MP3 player. The M-Audio Studiophile AV40s prove that you don’t need that egg-carton foam up on the walls to make the magic happen."  $177

New Laptops . Okay we finally have true Quads in the laptops BUT with the significant drop in clock speeds be careful. Talk to us about the trade off for some applications- it's one reason we adore the i7 13".

For biz and casual use, the longer battery life on the last gen has some advantages
It's good news all around on our fav the 13" now sporting i5 and i7 processors. While there are some good features, battery life suffers. - Thunderbolt offers amazing options down the road turning laptops into true production boxes. New graphics cards look very good.

Please do not send sales questions to the Admin email

Sales question for myself and Peter MUST come to macdoc@macdoc.com. Admin is purely for followup, shipping, RMA and technical install appointments. Thanks.

MacPros flying out - don't miss it - some models gone. Some trades welcome

The MacPros might seem only for the heavy production situations after using them personally I'm pleased to see that there are distinct benefits for the the multi-tasking power user as well.
This is the first Mac that no matter what you throw at it - it does not bog or hesitate. Oh yeah - completely silent. The OS distributes the processing across the cores up to 24 processes at a time - brilliant.
You'll not regret it. Long term buy for the discerning Mac lover

Wanna know how much better an 8 Core Nehalem is over your 2.8 8 core previous gen? Email us..hint - 400% speed gain on AfterEffects...! 16 processing threads really!!! The Westmere even faster.

Pick of the Westmere litter for Audio and damn near anything MacPro 3.33 Westmere ( 12 processing threads ) 6 gigs RAM 640 boot drive 2 TB media drive 4870 video card $3990
we feel this is the best combination of clock and horsepower ( 12 processing threads ) We swapped out a couple of components to offer a better balance under $4k

Mac Portables. comments

For us the 15s are the big rebirth. An i5 with 36% more screen space and a matte screen is a winner at less than $2k.
The i7 17" Quad with 8 gigs of ram and a 500XT under $3k is a wonder and the ability to go to a 1 TB internal is a winner for the video crowd. Internal RAIDS available.
