Cornerstones of a Mobile Office: MacBooks Surge Ahead on Intel Processors and New 140 Watt-hour Portable Power Station from Battery Geek, Inc.

Portland, OR (PRWEB) September 27, 2006

Mobile computing finally realizes its full potential with the recent marriage between Apple Computer and the Intel Core Duo processor. As industry heavyweights forge a new partnership, the move ultimately positions the MacBook Pro as a cornerstone in todays mobile office. Built-in Bluetooth connectivity plus Apples AirPort Extreme let mobile professionals disconnect from their tethered existence, and external battery technology provides an additional 6+ hours of runtime between charges.

At the helm of this mobile office, Mac OS X effortlessly manages the new Intel Core Duo processor for robust performance that matches desktop power. Intensive tasks like digital media editing are split between two computation cores for maximum efficiency. With the MacBook Pro, mobile professionals can touch up images on the latest version of Aperture or review daily footage in Final Cut Studio on the fly.

Taking cues from the iPod, the MacBooks sleek design and innovative ergonomics make work feel more like play. The built-in iSight camera facilitates quick and easy podcasting and video conferencing. Multimedia presentations flow smoothly with the Apple Remote, while the MagSafe power adapter prevents stumbles in the event a cord gets in the way.

Portable Power Station Cuts Power Cord

Until now, the mobile office has struggled to go completely wireless. The predominance of Wi-Fi networks has severed network cables, however mediocre laptop batteries force mobile users to find an outlet and recharge every couple of hours.

The mobile electronics industry has largely ignored battery capacity in favor of smaller devices packed with more features. In contrast, a high tech start-up company from Oregons Silicon Forest has tackled and successfully developed the worlds first and only external battery for the MacBook family of computers.

The new Portable Power Station by Battery Geek, Inc. supplies an additional 6+ hours of mobile computing time for the MacBook Pro, and incidentally supports most Windows based laptops as well. With a massive 140 watt-hour capacity spawned from premium grade Li-ion cells, the Portable Power Station provides a reliable power source to support a demanding mobile office.

Sean M. Murray, USMC veteran and founder and CEO of Battery Geek, Inc. explains, The Portable Power Station legitimizes the concept of a true mobile office. It powers devices from 3 to 28 volts making it the most versatile external battery on the market today.

As mobile professionals rarely travel without a mobile phone, PDA or iPod, the Portable Power Station doubles as a battery backup for these handheld devices. Connect through the USB charge port, and the Portable Power Station recharges virtually any USB device. Its sophisticated electronic control system regulates output power, and integrated sensors monitor the battery to prevent overheating and failure.

Designed as a MacBook companion, the Portable Power Station is roughly half the size of the 13 MacBook and weighs less than 2 pounds. The shock resistant aluminum shell protects the battery from damage, and its compact profile slides conveniently inside a laptop case.

Melissa A. Bostick, co-founder and CFO adds, International travelers are especially excited by the Portable Power Stations flexibility. They are working through long flights, and watching multiple movies on their portable DVD players and iPods during layovers.
