Many Mac users may not realize the powerful tool they have available to them at all times. That tool is the Spotlight Search, the small magnifying glass all recent Macs have in the upper right hand corner of their screen. Here are some really cool things that you can do with Spotlight Search.
Are you working on a recipe and need to convert liters to gallons? In this example, I just typed in 12 liters, and Spotlight automatically shows what that conversion is in gallons. It also shows the conversion to quarts, cubic feet, pints, and cups!
I love sports, as many people do, but we canât just leave ESPN up and running in a web browser all day long. I just want to know what the Detroit Tigers score was yesterday. In Spotlight, I typed in âTigers Scoreâ and, intelligently, Spotlight showed me the score from yesterday!
Type in Weather and a zip code, and you will get the current weather conditions, as well as the forecast for the coming week. You could also type âWeather New Yorkâ and get the same results, but your results are much more accurate if you use a zip code.
This one is very handy. So yesterday, I was working on a graphic. I could not remember the name of the file nor where I saved it on my hard drive. What to do? Easy! Type in âfiles I worked on yesterdayâ and Spotlight will show you all the files you worked on the day before. It also works with âFiles I opened last Tuesdayâ and the like. Spotlight will also show a preview. Big time saver!
Need to do quick math, but donât feel like navigating your hard drive to bring up the calculator? No worries, you just type in the math problem right in the Spotlight search window.

Memory When you get your Mac, you donât want to be restricted because your machine comes standard with the bare minimum memory. When it comes to system performance, memory matters. This is why we often load up and max out our upgraded machines with as much as memory as we can. |
 |
Storage With the increase in media quality, file sizes continue to grow which can take a toll on your hard drive capacity and performance. We often load up our upgraded machines with large-capacity solid state drives which consume less power, dissipate less heat, and allow for fast file access over traditional spinning drives. |
 |
Speed We know what you really want in your Mac: speed and performance. With an upgraded Mac from Ramjet, we vigorously test the machine from top to bottom to ensure that you are getting the best possible product. In fact, our speed tests show that certain machines perform up to four times faster than an original Mac. Take that, Apple. |
 |
Cost Why pay more to get less? You can get a fully-upgraded Mac from Ramjet at just a fraction of the cost. Many machines from Ramjet cost 30-50% less than an equivalent configuration direct from Apple. |
 |
Shipping and Warranty Donât like to pay for shipping? Who does? All upgraded Macs qualify for free domestic shipping to your front door. And weâre so confident that you wonât need it, but to make this deal even sweeter, these machines come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. |
