HyperMac Stand doubles as an external battery for your iPad

Why settle for a separate iPad stand and external battery when you can have both in one device? Why indeed. That's the thinking from the folks at Sanho at least, who have just rolled-out the first-of-its-kind HyperMac Stand. It packs two slots that can hold your iPad at either an 18 or 45-degree angle (with or without a case), and a built-in 40-watt-hour rechargeable lithium-ion battery that promises to extend your battery life by a full 16 hours. Of course, that combination does make this one of the more expensive iPad stands around at $129.95, but that's not exactly too out of line when compared to a standalone HyperMac battery. Head on past the break for the complete press release.

Teardown: New MacBook Battery Could Fit Into The Previous MacBook

The folks over at iFixit are doing their thing again, in this case it means taking apart Apple’s newly-announced 10-hour MacBook. While you might not be interested in the process of disassembling it, current MacBook owners might want to know that the battery is exactly the same shape as the earlier MacBook, but with an extra 350mAh worth of juice. Granted it’s 7.5grams heavier, but that’s a small price to pay for better battery life, right? Perhaps in the future if your battery pack fails while it’s still under warranty, you might be lucky enough to have it replaced with the new 10-hour battery.
