Well I finally got my new laptop last thursday, been too busy working and stuff to post about it. Finally got a few minutes to snap some quick pictures of it.

This thing is just awesome, such a major upgrade over my last laptop. It is so much faster and much more powerful. The screen is just amazing on it. It is so bright, so crisp and the colors are just brilliant.

The part I can’t get enough of yet is the keyboard. It has ambient light sensors in the speaker grills and will automatically dim the screen and turn the keyboard on. No more excuses for night-time typos. Sexy eh?

In all, this laptop is just the best. Time will tell if it can take what I throw at it.

…and in with the new. Such is the way of things with cars, electronics and computers. My laptop has finally kicked the bucket for good, sadly it is no longer finically feasible to keep fixing it. Time to get something new.

Had a long life, especially for a laptop. This November would be four years I’ve had it. Thing has been used daily since day one, almost never turned off. Web surfing, email, video watching, notes, photography, photoshop, papers, emulators and more it all handled for four years.

It’s a shame to finally say it isn’t worth fixing, I’m bad when it comes to giving up possessions. Time to replace it with a bigger, badder and faster beast.

In the end, all I gotta say is Apple makes damn good computers that last and stand the test of time; something I don’t see owners of other manufacturers saying much but I don’t want to start a flame war here. I expect this new one to be just as good and if you’re shopping for a new computer, give Apple a look. They’ve got my seal of approval for years of reliability in their products.
