Friday, January 27th, 2012 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

Well, it’s that time of year again, and while not everybody can be at the Macworld | iWorld Expo in San Francisco (though if you are, make sure to visit us at Booth 513), we want to make sure everybody can get our Expo specials.

Yesterday, we mentioned that we’re knocking 20%+ off the full line of  Elgato HDTV/DVR/Video solutions for Mac. While this is a great offer in and of itself, we’ve got a whole bunch more in store for you, too. Here are a few highlights of our other specials:

 

Free shipping is available on most orders $99 and up as well as for most memory orders $45 and up. But you better act fast – you only have until January 31.

Students Get a Grip on their iPad 2 Display Needs with Newer Technology’s GripStand Station

Thursday, January 19th, 2012 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

With the growing use of iPads in the classroom and Apple’s Education Event which concluded today, OWC’s focus on education applications is timely.

An Award-Winning Presence At Macworld 2011

Monday, January 31st, 2011 | Author: OWC Chris S.

Well, another Macworld Expo has come and gone. While Apple isn’t a live presence any more, OWC has taken up the hardware torch and managed to keep things hopping with our new OWC Mercury Aura Pro solid state drives.

When it comes to upgrading your 2008-2010 MacBook Air, the only upgrade avenue you have is to replace the internal drive with something faster. OWC’s Mercury Aura Pro line of SSDs allows you to upgrade your MacBook Air’s internal drive to a super-fast, Sandforce-based SSD, which provides not only a tremendous speed boost, but also offers consistent performance over time due to the wear-leveling technology in all OWC SSDs.

But enough about the Auras themselves; we’ve had plenty to say about them already. It’s time to talk about all the love the Mac media community has given us.

Let’s start off with the big guns – the “Best of Show” awards. The OWC Mercury Aura Pro Express for 2010 MacBook Air won three of these prestigious honors:

  • One from Macworld magazine, host of the Expo, themselves.
  • One was in the form of a 2011 Mac|Life award from the magazine of the same name, who “can’t wait to get our hands on these babies.”
  • The last was from Notebooks.com, who gave us their “Best Mac Hardware Upgrade” title and  noted that “the blazing fast data transfer rates and higher capacity make the MacBook Air even better.”

And that was just the tip of the iceberg. Article Continues…

OWC is Takin’ It to the Streets

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011 | Author: OWC Chris S.

No, we haven’t suddenly become fans of The Doobie Brothers circa 1976. We’re actually rolling up our sleeves, getting out there and interfacing with you, our customers, both locally and on a larger scale.

Locally, we’ll have a representative at the February 12th meeting of The NorthWest of Us Mac Users Group. TNWoU and OWC have had a long-time relationship, and we’re always glad to help out a neighbor.

It’ll be a two-part session. The first part will cover basic upgrades to improve the performance of your Mac, such as upgrading to a faster/larger hard drive and adding more memory. The speed benefits of adding an SSD will also be discussed.

The second part will address methods of data protection. These will include single drives for simple backup, RAID setups for added protection against hardware failure, and network solutions to provide secure backup and allow file sharing for all computers in your house/business.

Check out The NorthWest of Us Web site for more information.

On the more immediate end of things, if you happen to be in the San Francisco are this week, you can catch some of the OWC crew at Macworld Expo 2011. They’ll be showing off all our latest and greatest accessories for your Mac, including the new line of SSDs that we debuted earlier in the month.

If you haven’t picked up your tickets to the expo floor yet, you’re in luck. While the  discount for the conferences has passed, those of you who just want to go to the exhibits (which is where the OWC booth is located) can take advantage of an exclusive OWC offer – free Exhibit-only Admission is available through the show. All you need to do is pop on over to our Web site and register. Once you do, come see the OWC crew at Booth #513.

Tell ‘em OWC Chris sent you.

On the Road to Macworld Expo 2010

Monday, February 8th, 2010 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

Macworld Expo 2010 is right around the corner. Although Apple isn’t going to be there, your pals from OWC and Newer Technology certainly are. We’ve been preparing for months, and we’re excited to be showing off all the nifty new OWC and NewerTech products we’ve released over the last few months.

  • The OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro mini is a compact, portable version of OWC’s award winning desktop-sized solution line that is bus-powered, fanless and sports a “Quad” Interface.
  • The NewerTech NuPower High Capacity batteries for MacBook and MacBook Pro offer up to 10% higher capacity than the factory original.
  • The NewerTech Video Display Adapter allows you add up to four displays to your Mac via USB.
  • The NewerTech mini-DisplayPort Adapter series allows you to attach a DVI, HDMI or even VGA display to your mini-DisplayPort equipped Mac while offering better cabling and shielding than the standard adapter does.
  • With NewerTech’s Window Mount for the iPhone 3G/3GS, featuring an exact fit cradle and super vacuum adhesion, your iPhone 3G/3GS will remain securely in place in your car, boat or even on an airplane tray table!
  • The pocket-sized NuPower Charge & Sync+ lets you recharge your digital devices (including cell phones and digital cameras!) via a standard AC outlet or the built-in battery.
  • The NewerTech MAXPower SATA 6G PCIe Controller Card for you Mac Pro (and PC’s, too) – High Performance. No drivers.
  • The OWC Mercury Extreme SSD – we’re darn proud of our new internal 2.5” Solid State Drive. Sustained data transfer rates for both read and write speeds of over 260MB/s make our new SSDs among the fastest, if not the very fastest SATA I/II SSD on the market today. That’s why we’ve submitted it for Best of Show consideration.

But that’s not all…

We’ve also got a wonderful display where we show you how to integrate a Mac into your home theater system, info about our LEED Platinum Level “Green” facilities, the OWC Podcast booth, and—since His Steveness won’t be there to give one himself— “one more thing” in the form of a new OWC product. And, of course, we have show specials for the entire run of the show.

See you there!
