Today we introduced a new feature that we’re pretty excited about. Now, when you schedule a Mac Repair with us, you can choose to have a secondary notification about status updates via Twitter or SMS. If you sign up for this feature, then every time there is a status change on your repair, you’ll receive a tweet or SMS message in addition to the email or phone notification. (Note that for SMS, standard text message fees apply.)
You can read about this and all of our status update option at the link below:
They’re here….the largest 2.5″ ATA hard drives to date. Honestly, most of us here thought ATA drives were going to be limited to 250GB due to the switch to SATA, but low and behold, out comes a 320GB drive.These drives breathe more life into some of the older Mac units, and I’m sure many of you will be thrilled with this latest release.
These 320GB hard drives are $114.95 and are compatible with the following model units:
A little over a week ago, we hit a huge milestone here at PowerbookMedic.com; We reached our 100,000th order.
When I started this company seven years ago, I never imagined 100,000 orders would have been possible. This of course was before iPods, iPhones, Macbooks and the reinvention of Apple itself. Now, 200,000 orders seems like it will be right around the corner.
To our over 90,000 worldwide customers, Thank You! From day one we’ve been a customer centric company, and your loyalty, support, and suggestions have made us the company we are today.
This milestone also wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible team members. I have the privilege of working with the coolest Mac nuts out there. To find more skilled and just generally fun guys to work with would be near impossible. For seven years, it’s been a pleasure to wake up in the morning and work with these guys. This wouldn’t have been possible without them. (And to our Customer Support department, no, we will not be getting tasers to commemorate 100,000 orders.)
Lastly, I have to thank my wife, because without her there would be no PowerbookMedic.com. Seven years ago, she convinced me to start this company from nothing. She’s encouraged me every step of the way, and has endured the highs, the lows, the website redesigns, and everything in between. Thank you!
Here we come 200,000…

Today we added 4GB PC8500 chips to our online store. The chips are pretty expensive at $399.95 due to current constrained supply in the market. However, if you really want to max out the ram in your Unibody, this is the way to go.
Today we released our key replacements for the Macbook Air and Macbook Unibody models. If your keys have popped off your keyboard or have begun to fade, you can now replace the keys individually without having to replace an entire keyboard. These keys work for the Macbook Unibody 13″, 15″, and 17″ models as well as the Macbook Air models.
We have a new addition to our Mac Hard Drive lineup today. We are now carrying 500GB 7200RPM drives for the Macbook and Macbook Pro models. The drives are $169.95 and are available from the link below:
Today we announced four new additions to our iPod / iPhone battery product lineup. These batteries are replacements to the original batteries and start at $9.95.
Today we released our iPhone 3G disassembly video. This video will show you how to disassemble the iPhone 3G and perform most any repair including cracked glass, broken lcd, digitizer replacement, battery replacement etc…
