On the last episode of No Office FM podcast my co-host, Rafal, asked me about a lonely display hanging on the wall behind me. He didn’t know why I had this display there. I had no good answer, until the weekend came and I figured it out. I gave my good old trusty, 10-year-old Apple Thunderbolt Display another, actually seventh, life! Just check out its history:
This article was inspired by questions from readers and my discussion with Radek in the 95th episode of “ThePodcast.fm.” In that episode, we were chatting about our new wireless headphones and discussing how they make us feel like we’re living in the future. On top of that, I also believe wireless headphones significantly improve productivity. So, if you’re still using wired headphones, then, to quote Steve Jobs: “you’re doing it wrong.” Read on to find out why.
Now that the iPad Pro is out and I’ve been using it for the last week or so, many people have been asking if it can finally be a laptop replacement. If people can now finally ditch their Macbooks and embrace the new era of touch-devices for most of their computing needs. Well, it depends who you ask:
I’m on an Unboxing spree recently. After my recent Apple Watch it’s time for my new desktop computer. As an iPhone and iPad user I’m spoiled by the retina screens so it was time for me to also make my desktop screen full retina. In this video recorded on Periscope I explain why I chose this computer and how it looks like in and out of the box. Question: Do you use a desktop computer or do you prefer a laptop?
Last summer, in iMagazine where my column is published every month, we featured a series of articles entitled “My first Mac”. Many of our editors wrote about how they started their adventure with Apple and how they got their first Macs. I shared the story of my first Macbook Air which I also posted on my blog. I switched to the Mac because of various reasons and one of them was… beauty.
After months of fighting it I finally gave in and bought a Retina iMac 5K. This purchase makes my lineup of Apple devices complete. In this short post I’d like to share a few thoughts on why I bought the iMac and what each of the Apple devices mean to me:
Yesterday was a big day, the “Apple Watch” day… Apple finally explained a little more the new “wearable iDevice” concept so that I think I know what and why I’m going to buy. Today, I would like to discuss with you the Apple Watch and the new Macbook and something more, here goes:
In January 2008, Steve Jobs presented the thinnest laptop on Earth and called it Macbook Air. Wow. My jaw dropped. I knew it right then that it was going to be my first Mac. And so it was… Althought it wasn’t as simple as it might seem. Here is the story of my first Mac and my love for Apple products.

We’re almost there with WWDC (Apple’s World Wide Develoeprs Conference) where they’ll probably announce iOS8. Along with that the rumors start showing up of a a mysterious iPad Pro to be introduced later this year. As the big iPad’s name has been changed to iPad Air it is very much likely Apple will release third iPad - by analogy to the Mac series. There are several theories circulating in the media. As I am writing this text on the iPad and as I use it for work almost all the time, I would like to organize my thoughts on the topic and encourage you to discuss this with me. Let’s see what we’ll come up with.

I got myself a great gift last Christmas - a brand new Macbook Pro 13” with Retina display. It replaced my Mac Mini as the main home & office PC now. I use it whenever something needs to be done on “a real computer”. As it is turned on all the time, I can always connect my iPad to it with LogMeIn. This Macbook is perhaps the last computer I’ll ever buy. Here’s why:
