Macbook

My laptop finally bit the dust a few weeks ago. After months of having to adjust the screen just to be able to see something, the machine finally decided that it didn't even want to turn on anymore. And now it was my turn to finally get a Mac, something that I have been thinking about getting for a few years now.

So, last Thursday, I made my way to the Apple store to pickup my 13' Macbook (which set me back about $1,500. I also bought the Apple Care with it- I normally hate getting extended warranties, but since I have had terrible luck with laptops in the past, I figured it would make sense to spend the extra few bucks on this. Long enough side note? I think so, let's move on.) and I have been in love with it ever since.

I still have not played around with any of the features of the machine, or any of the cool Apple products on here (Garage Band, etc) but I still can't get enough of it. I love the battery life, and how I can just close the lid and the machine will be fine for quite some time without being charged. For example, the other day I was gone over 24-hours from the Macbook, yet when I finally opened it up, I still had two hours of battery life left. I cannot being to describe how amazing it feels to be able to do this. I know that there are way better/cooler/useful (well maybe not useful) things to the machine than this, but I still can't get over it.

As far as actually using the machine, I mostly have just used it for internet so far, but I did download Google Chrome (far and away the best browser out there) and Spotify. Yeah, not the most exciting thing, but its my new favorite thing and I just wanted to write about it.
