Stuff We Use

Hardware

The Hub

This workhorse M2 MacBook Air is a the best laptop.  Slim and lightweight, yet a fast and powerful tool.  We love the touch ID – no entering passwords and quick payment!   This is super thin with a 13.6 retina screen. Purchase with the extra RAM to avert an overheating issue. We use a very thin and inexpensive sleeve when placing in a tote or brief bag.

Best All-in One

This wireless  color laser printer faxes, scans, prints and copies (including automatic single pass double sided) perfectly.  Print directly from your phone and tablet, or use the automatic document feeder.  The laser printer also prints on transparent sticky notes and flags, and acetate with no wait time and no smearing. The small form factor is great if you have cramped office space.

Better Wifi

Mesh wifi enables you to have wifi throughout your home or office more consistently. It helped us with buffering problems when far from the router. Easy configuration via an app on your phone, or a support person will tweak your system until you are happy.
