A Shiny New Computer

August 14, 2010 by Arena Blake 9 Comments

Earlier this week, my laptop stopped working.

The battery was so fried that when it was plugged in, the charger would try to charge the battery and the laptop would just shut off because it couldn’t hold *any* charge.

I know, I know, I could’ve just bought a new battery and a new charger.

But seriously, this was The Nerd’s old, hand-me-down laptop that I *hated.*

That’s another story for another time.

I’ve been *dying* for a bright, shiny new Macbook for a long, long time.

So, after much begging and arguing and denying and, finally, submission, The Nerd agreed that we could get a MacBook Pro.

Woohoo!

Isn’t it pretty?

In the story, he kept saying, “But if we get a Mac, I’ll never use it.”

My response? “That’s *exactly* why I want one!”

It’s so small and light — I love it!

Yay!

And it’s perfect for blogging, with iMovie and GarageBand and everything.

I’m going to have a blast with it!

On the way home, The Nerd kept muttering about how we now own *four* Apple devices and that violates his ethical code.

Whatever.

If he has a problem with it, he can get rid of his iPhone.

Happy Saturday!

    ….HAHAHAHAHAHA, sorry, I can see that happening in my own household. So far we've managed to keep the Mac product to 0 in our house but i can see one slippin' by would open the floodgates.

    Hahaha! I love my Mac. So much better than a PC IMO. No viruses! Enjoy your new toy!

    Gorgeous! I love Apple simply because of their design… everything they make is so nice. And the quality is obviously very high.

    Enjoy!

    It's so pretty! I want a new laptop really bad. My battery has been fried for a long time so it has to stay constantly plugged in and it's getting old. Plus this thing is really heavy even without the lapdesk with the built-in speakers.

    Not a big fan of Mac myself so I can't blame the Nerd. But CONGRATS on the new PC 🙂 Looks like a lot of fun!!!

    Wow. He sounds just like Chris used to! He used to loathe anything Apple, but now he is the complete opposite! Thank goodness when my laptop finally does die, I'll be getting a Macbook Pro too 🙂

    Enjoy!
