Mac is back – but is anyone really shocked?
We can look back through the annals of time to pinpoint the exact moment that Apple became socially relevant again – the release of the iPod – with no small wonder. Apple’s little miracle sold over a hundred thousand units in its first month of existence, putting its brand promptly in the spotlight.
And ever since that exact moment in time, the technology juggernaut has been rolling forward without any likelihood of stopping.
That’s why the staff writers here pay especial attention to Apple when it releases a new or updated product – there’s a good chance it will make a serious splash. Even when it’s a release as mundane as a notebook upgrade.
When the next generation MacBook Air debuted, we noticed its ultra-light construction and thought it a suitable competitor to today’s booming tablet market. And when Samsung was quick to announce a worthy competitor in the Series 9, we knew we were right: the ultra-slim editions are the wave of the future when it comes to notebooks.
Laptops are going to stay relevant simply on the principal that they host more powerful processing power than their smartphone competitors.
Apple seems to be doing something right with its next generation MacBooks. JP Morgan’s analyst, Mark Moskowitz, came forward today to note that noted that over 420,000 MacBook Air units were shipped in the fourth quarter of 2010. That represents annual growth of 333 percent (or 326 on a quarterly basis).
According to Moskowitz, MacBook Air sales are likely to climb to $2.2-billion or higher – which bodes well to this lightweight laptop revolution.
While the Samsung Series 9 could pose a serious threat, one cannot help but think on the iPad’s dominance of the tablet market – and its competitors’ inability to give it any real challenge – and wonder if the MacBook Air will suffer from a genuine rival.
It’s all food for thought, but thanks to Apple’s reliable monopolyon trendy, portable gadgets, we shouldn’t expect them to be going anywhere anytime soon.
Where b2b (business-to-business) laptop rentals are concerned, we fully expect the requests for the latest MacBook Airs to continue pouring in — which is why we stock them in the first place.
Because we know one thing in tech is true: Mac always comes back.

It’s definitely the service. We utilize Vernon for a number of things: Our Conference Registration areas (both attendee and exhibitor), our Attendee Hand Out Printing Stations, our E-Cafe (so attendees can check emails) and our Social Media Lounge. These are all really important pieces of the conference that Vernon makes smooth and successful year after year.
They took the time to learn our business and demonstrated that they wanted to partner with us. They try to find us the best solution and if they can’t they’ll point us in the right direction.
They’re very flexible. If they don’t have what I need, they might acquire it. They delivered when they said they would. It was an easy, painless process.
Very quick response, competent, decent price and fast delivery. They’re flexible too; they actually gave me options. Different options that met our needs and saved us money.
They are very good with customer service. A great warranty policy (24 hr replacement on faulty equipment.) The best deal out overall. In some cases Vernon is a lot less expensive.
They’re very reliable, accommodating, and have high standards on the service they provide. Their reps are great: they know their market and their equipment and are very personable.
We were very pleased with your service. I was really impressed with the product, packaging and easy shipping/returning method in comparison to the company we were using. I will definitely be using your service again next year.
