As I have explained in one of my previous posts, I will be commuting a lot (in fact, i’m commuting around almost 3 hours on a daily bases). So what better way to keep busy on the train than to buy a macbook pro so one can blog and work while on the road?
Have purchased the 13 inch version with the following specs: intel core duo 2, 4GB Memory, 250GB Hard Drive, SD card slot, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics.
Have loved mac ever since I got to try out the older iMac G5 iSight my mom lent me but this little puppy brings my love for apple products on a whole new level! Have purchased some accessories along with it, namely the apple remote and VGA adapter so I can hook up my macbook at school on the beamers and give a decent presentation for once. Blasted school computers always find a way to screw you over. Either by a means of freezing up to the point of no return, not opening presentations or simply by screwing up your entire slideshow due to “compability issues” (they really need to update their software). It always ends up in me and other students having to do our presentation a couple days late and it started annoying the crap out of me. One prepares for a presentation and just wants to get it over with! Not postpone it.
Also working on my very first GIP assignment. Given by our Geography teacher so be sure to tune in later this week for the first installment in the Japan Section!
Yup, I absolutely feel the same way you do in regards to school computers. Compatibility issues and whatnot screwed my presentations over and over again during my college days. With a laptop, we can always just plug in the projector and good to go ^^;.
Exactly! god bless the macbook. the only downside is that a lot of my teachers seem to love it and wanna use it themselves. haha xD
