MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro Retina
T-GAAP's Karl Johnston notes that Apple currently has three different 13-inch MacBooks in its product lineup, and the 13-inchers are the most popular Mac models, with the Standard MacBook Pro - formerly the overall best-selling Mac - still available for users who need an optical drive built-in or a high capacity hard drive built-in.
However of one of those features isn't a requirement, Johnston suggests giving the old-school MacBook Pro a pass, as he does in this comparo of
the 13-inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Retina models. He notes that these two models are closely comparable and it may be difficult to decide which one to buy, although the Air's lower price will be the deciding factor for budget-conscious buyers, but power users will want the Retina MacBook Pro.

Do You Need A Third-party Disk Utility?
Macworld’s Joe Kissell notes that OS Xs Disk Utility is good for what it does. Nevertheless, for many years conventional wisdom held that you also needed at least one third-party disk repair utility on hand to solve the problems Disk Utility couldnt. Kissell investigates whether that advice still makes sense, outlining the cases for and against.

OWC Announces Memory Upgrade Kits For New 2013 21 iMac Core i3 Education Model
Other World Computing announced today the immediate availability of the OWC Memory Upgrade DIY Kit for 2013 21.53 Apple iMac Core i3 Education models introduced last week. Offering up to 4x the RAM - 16GB - versus the factory base configuration of 4GB, the OWC Memory Upgrade DIY Kits come complete with an iMac opening tool, suction cups for safe screen removal, 11-piece toolkit, foam adhesive for proper glass and display resealing, and microfiber screen cloth. Both an 8GB and 16GB complete kit, as well as no tools, memory modules only kits, are supported by a how-to video and OWC Lifetime warranty.
Savings Over $140 Compared To Factory Upgrade
When compared to the same-sized factory maximum memory option of 16GB, the $149.99 OWC Memory Upgrade DIY Kit offers 44 percent savings compared to the factory cost of $270. For even more savings, memory modules only (no tools) kits can be selected as well as the two factory base 2GB memory modules can be traded-in to OWC for a cash-back rebate.
OWC DIY Memory Upgrades for 2013 21.5 Apple iMac Core i3:
• 8GB (2 x 4GB) PC3-12800 DDR3L 1600MHz SO-DIMM memory modules plus all opening, installation, reassembly tools and materials, and Lifetime Warranty. $79.99
• 8GB (2 x 4GB) PC3-12800 DDR3L 1600MHz SO-DIMM memory modules. No tools or materials included. Lifetime Warranty $67.99
• 16GB (2 x 8GB) PC3-12800 DDR3L 1600MHz SO-DIMM memory modules plus all opening, installation, reassembly tools and materials, and Lifetime Warranty. $149.99
• 16GB (2 x 8GB) PC3-12800 DDR3L 1600MHz SO-DIMM memory modules. No tools or materials included. Lifetime Warranty $137.99
“For schools buying several iMacs, the smart, fiscally responsible action is to buy one complete OWC Upgrade Kit with tools, and then just order memory modules only kits for upgrading additional iMacs,” says Larry O Connor, Founder and CEO, Other World Computing. “It should be noted, though, in order to upgrade the memory, 21.53 iMac machines (unlike 273 models) require a highly complex screen and logic board removal. As such, we highly recommend professional installation of the kit.”
