Give your latptop a new internet connection in remote places
This month, MacFormat has teamed up with Vodafone to offer one lucky reader a brand new MacBook and Vodafone USB Modem Stick. The prize does not include a data package, but these are fairly cheap to pick up these days and you will probably want to shop around. They cost anything between £15 and £25 per month, depending on your bandwidth needs.
What impressed us about the Vodafone USB Modem Stick, aside from the Vodafone service that we have used for years now, is the compact, elegant design and reliable reception. It slips into a side pocket in a laptop bag with no bother at all, and can be trusted on the road, whether you’re in the UK or roaming further afield.
Once configured, you can initiate a new connection in seconds. When connected, it smoothly steps the speed up and down, depending on the best-quality connection available in your location.
The main appeal, though, is the convenience. Whether you need to get in a last-minute bid on an eBay item, or keep your email inbox up to date, it’s an incredibly useful bit of kit that’s also Mac friendly.
