After researching many laptops including the Dell Inspiron which was a front runner at one point, my heart still leapt everytime I wandered into the Apple store and had a play about on one of their many design led, super functional computers.
Well after many visits to the store and years of dealing with a chanky old laptop, my partner in life and crime came back from the US this week brandishing a spanking new, glossy white, delightfully intriguing and in full working order, Macbook.
I have even attempted to watermark my photo thanks to my new laptop ... miserable fail though. Advice appreciated! :) |
Sounds extreme but it's a wee bit true.
You see my old laptop would crash 3 or 4 times in an evening. It took hours to upload photos, save images, check emails, write blogposts ... the list goes on. Replying to emails was so difficult on the old laptop, many went ignored. Don't even get me started on how hard it was to view other blogs or comment on them. A simple blog comment could take up to half an hour to execute. YouTube wasn't even an option.
Now if I want to blog on an evening, I can come home, fire up the Macbook and I could very easily be done in a half hour or so .... plenty time to pamper myself, read a book, meet friends, watch a movie or dare i say it, tidy my flat!
I am so stupidly excited about the delights of my new laptop I almost don't know what to do with myself or it. Already I have taken to twitter for advice on the unconventional keyboard and tonight I think I will get my head into the instruction manual.
Geek out!
