“Harry Potter author J.K Rowling not only uses a MacBook Air to write, but says that it has changed her life,” Charlie Sorrel reports for Cult of Mac.
Sorrel reports,” Publishers Marketplace: In a rare product endorsement, Rowling proclaimed, “The MacBook Air changed my life.” She added, “I’ve written everywhere, including some very strange places.”
Sorrel writes, “Seeing as Harry Potter started life in an Edinburgh coffee shop, it makes sense for the author to be using Apple’s lightest non-tablet writing machine.”

Thanks for that J.K here’s your cheque. Nothing to see here.
You should change your handle to Fandroid Asshole for a little Truth in Advertising.
Are you trolling? Seems like that’d be your purpose with the name you are using. If you are trolling, and are able to admit it, I’m curious why. It’s a bit of a mystery to me why people troll websites, especially one like this. I can see doing it for a political site in some cases.
Yeah because Rowling could not possibly be telling the truth right a-hole? Get a life, move out of Mom & Dad’s basement, get a job and settle in to your van down by the river (with no Internet access). The world could use a little less self-serving disingenuousness.
If you knew anything about JK you would know just how crass that comment is. However you would need a brain for that.
Hmm. So after making billions of dollars writing, she’s taking up product endorsement?
She’s worth half a billion UK Sterling – she really doesn’t need the money.

Did I mention you are a troll?
If she used a Windows machine the Harry Potter stories would have been lost in endless crashes, driver issues, and the blue screen of death.
“Harry Potter and the Blue Screen of Death”—fantastic!
How about ‘Harry Potter and the Three Fingered Salute to Ron Weasley’?
Harry Potter and the Secret of DOS
Harry Potter and the Half-Witted CEO
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Redmond
Dont you realise that Hogwarts is based entirely on her early attempts at using Windows.
Voldemort and the Death Eaters remind me of Windows…
Obviously there is no magic in a Windows or Android PC.

Uhh Android PC’s don’t exist, at least not by the official determination of what a PC is. Not yet anyway.
She must be using Pages too.
No, she should be using Scrivener.

Best piece of long form writing software bar none. I have finished one book and my MLitt on Scrivener and am working on anther book on the History of Squash in Scotland. Being forced to use PCs in my day job as a teacher, I would have written nothing on the pieces of garbage that pass as computers from HP.
I second that emotion.
Scrivener is on sale as part of the current $29 MacHeist bundle:

that’s a good question, wonder if she is writing using Word For Mac or Pages.
oops, read rest of article, she is using Word.
Having a billion in the bank probably also changed her life, a bit.
😉
It’s not just iPad’s that are magical.
Of course most of the books certainly would not have been written in an Air and certainly not those written in Edinburgh Coffee shops. Probably was on a Macbook mind.
This article is trivial.
Finally a sane comment.
From Wikipedia: “Since the release of the first novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone on 30 June 1997….” Whow! That Macbook Air of Rowling’s must be worth millions, being a very early pre-study model. Grab it now mr. Sorrel or you’ll be sorry!
She just conjured one up from the future.
Any second-year Hogwarts student can do that.
So, why aren’t Harry Potter books available at the iBook store?
Riiight…. it’s a publisher issue. She can’t make it happen.
She uses a Mac to write shitty novels, so what?
Did the rest if your family get all the intelligence, hence there was none left around for you?
So what? She’s earned millions of dollars writing those ‘shitty novels’, millions of dollars more than you have writing snarky comments on web forums. Loser. Get a fucking life.
