light as a feather

i'd been having some minor difficulties with my computer the past couple of months.  i noticed that it had been running a bit slower and it was harder to get it to connect to certain webpages, sometimes even the network itself.  i must say that i absolutely love my macbook and would buy no other product.  that being said, i think i got the bad apple in the bunch.  i had the hard drive replaced two times and had some other minor issues (that were thankfully covered with my apple care warranty).  recently i had an issue with the computer staying powered on unless it was connected to the power cord.  sure, it might seem like it's not a big deal, but it becomes extremely inconvenient as you must restart it every time it's unplugged, thus lacking portability.

it's a known fact that i've become an apple fanatic.  i've seriously owned nearly every apple product.  and i absolutely love every one of them.  knowing that i would soon be in the market for a new laptop, i started researching the various options apple provides.  as i said, i love my macbook, but it's a bit heavy and requires being taken out at airport security.  the macbook pro is very nice, but it too must be removed for security.  the macbook air is light, easily portable, and does not need to be removed from your bag to be screened at airport security.  i was sold...mostly.

it's true that apple products aren't cheap, but they're reliable and the workers at the genius bar truly are amazing and can fix almost any problem your computer (or any other apple product) is having.  though i would regularly peruse the apple site, picking out the computer i wanted and pricing it out, i knew that the time wasn't right.

the final straw was the battery/power issue.  it was then that i knew that sooner, rather than later, i would need to go computer shopping.  so, this morning i was checking out apple's site and pricing the macbook air with our company discount.  imagine my surprise when i noticed that the macbook air was updated with a new operating system and few other things...just as of yesterday!  wow!  i waited long enough to get the most up-to-date product?!  g and i already had plans to go downtown for a few things today, so we popped into the apple store where i asked more than a few questions to the product specialist and finally made my apple macbook air purchase!

i love it!  it's very nice!  so maybe this will be my regular blog motivator!
