Donate Your Older Apple Laptop To Help Build Classrooms in Haiti
- Public schools are rare in Haiti. Haiti Outreach is an organization that helps build public schools in Hatian communities that have no public school. So far they have helped build the public secondary school in Pignon, and La Jeune. They have many requests from other communities to help them build a public school.
If you have an Apple Intel powered laptop that you can donate to this cause, FirstTech will refurbish it (if possible) with no labor charge and provide them to Haiti Outreach for the classrooms they are helping to build.

Introducing the new Mac mini—redesigned in a very big way
- Apple announces a completely redesigned Mac mini, featuring:
An aluminum unibody enclosure
Up to twice the graphics performance
Industry-leading energy efficiency
An HDMI port and SD card slot
Mac mini is a good choice for those who need a compact, powerful computer but already own the essentials—like a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Mac mini features a sleek, aluminum design and includes ports and slots to connect to all your devices and networks. Mac mini is the world's most energy-efficient desktop computer, and it's the most affordable way to enjoy Mac OS X and iLife.
MacBook. Now with more speed, power, and battery life.
- Meet the fastest, most powerful MacBook yet. It now features next- generation NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and 2GB of memory. That means MacBook can handle everything from surfing the web to the most graphically intense 3D games with ease. It also features up to 10 hours of battery life and a glass Multi-Touch trackpad that supports inertial scrolling, right- clicking, and Multi-Touch gestures. All in a streamlined, durable unibody enclosure.
These new MacBooks are available today at FirstTech—the very best place to experience a Mac.
