3G recommendation for Macbook?

I have a white macbook running OS 10.5.4 and I'm losing the DSL provided wifi in my office. I expect to be on the road more often but I still need to be able to connect to the net. I live in Los Angeles.
I figure I'll have to buy one of those USB key wi-fi antennas but which mobile wi-fi provider do you recommend for the LA area?
99% of my net action is reading/writing/sending emails with doc or pdf attachments or simple web surfing for research. I don't do video uploading or downloading.
So....which company do you recommend?
Thanks

3G speed is very good, even for dowloading or uploading and it works almost everywhere. It works with the cellphones network.

  • RELIABLE data backup software recommendation for MacBook Pro WANTED!

    I own Retrospect 6.x and I must say that on the intel platform it is less than stellar. On my 15" Powerbook I would get about 90MB/minute and on my new 17" MacBook Pro I am getting about 30MB/minute, which is taking FOREVER. Can someone PLEASE recommend some reliable data backup software in universal binary that will obtain backup speeds similar to what I use to get out of Retrospect on my powerbook? Thank you kindly!
    Scott

    Welcome to the forum,
    If you don’t have a .Mac account, you may want to consider it. It has a fairly respectable BackUp feature that’s quite good and very well integrated to your Mac. I strongly recommend it. Can’t say much compared to the speed of Retrospect although it does perform incremental backups as well as a host of other options. Hope that you may find this useful, etc.

  • Looking for recommendation for MacBook Pro display

    I have a mid-2011 27" iMac and I'm going to buy a 15" MacBook Pro. Should I get sn Apple Thunderbolt Display or use my 2011 display? My thoughts are that I could recoup the costs of the display by selling my iMac, I have 32GB of RAM upgraded, but everything is standard. I think the display is the same, but I'm not sure how everything will play together.
    Any opinions or ideas?
    Thanks, Mark,

    Hey Apple can i get an EFI update please? Also my computer gets exteremly hot over where the battery connects.

  • Recommendations for running Windows on Macbook with OSX Lion version 10.7.2?

    I Just bought a new MacBook Pro, running Lion, version 10.7.2. I am looking to run some windows applications on my mac, including AutoCAD, etc. I would ideally like to install bootcamp on my MacBook, but from what i understand, Lion is only compatible with Windows 7... I have Windows XP and VMWARE Fusion that I had run on my previous MacBook, however, I am unable to install VMWARE Fusion on my new MacBook (Lion). Any recommendations for running higher-profile windows apps on a mac without having to purchase Windows7 or a new version of VMWARE? Thanks

    Newer computer = newer drivers and apps. You can only run Windows 7 using Boot Camp Assistant with the newer computers. Or, you can download and install Parallels or Fusion (the most current versions work in Lion). If using Parallels or Fusion you can install XP, Vista, Windows 7, etc.
    Or, you could try the free VirtualBox.

  • Please recommend portable printer for MacBook Air

  • Is the MacBook Air recommended for working with RAW photographs using Aperture or Lightroom and perhaps Photoshop?

    Is the MacBook Air recommended for working with RAW photographs in Aperture and Photoshop, or do I need a more powerful MacBook ?   The relative lack of weight of the AIr is what attracts me to it.

    For doing Photography with RAW files in either Aperture or Photoshop, the new MacBook Air is fine, but for Photoshop CS6 some of the filters and plugins really need a better graphics card and plenty of RAM.
    You'll also want an external disk if you are going to be doing lots of shooting.
    Summary:
    Yes, you can use an air but you'll want external storage and at least 8GB of ram.
    Or go MacBook Pro with 16GB ram with the 650M card.
