MacBook need never be powerless thanks to Oncore Power

How frustrating it can be when you just about to leave the office to see a client to do a presentation, turn on your MacBook or iBook and damn you forgot to put it on charge, but if you were luckily enough to have invested in the new OnCore Power Charger and there you have six lovely fully charged batteries waiting for you.

Ok it doesn’t come cheap at $395 but a small price to pay if being powerless has a major affect on your work. These units are often sold to educational institutes and places where you may have one or my iBooks, but you can never say no to a fully charged battery.

It takes less than eight hours to recharge six empty batteries. The charger is compact and measures 11 inches by 7 inches and is white in design to follow the look of the iBook and MacBooks. One little snag the price of $395 is just for the charger, you will have to buy the batteries separately. Although it has been said you can purchase a “value power upgrade kit” that comes with six batteries but we have no report on the cost of this unit.
