i Heart My Laptop!

Just last week, after months and months of dreaming, I made a big splurge and bought myself the new MacBook Pro!  

 

I was soooo excited about getting it, that I was disappointed when I visited AV Electronics and found out that the laptops have not arrived in Brunei yet. But I put in a deposit and AV Electronics added my order to a growing list of orders for the newly released MacBook Pro.

 

 

I've been wanting to get myself a MacBook Pro since way back last year. And here's proof of that!

 

The main reason why I wanted one was because I really needed a laptop of my own. After my university years and the timely death of my bulky Acer, I didn't really have a need for a laptop.... That is, until I started blogging.

 

You see, all this time, my sister's laptop has been the victim of my clickety-clack blogging fingers! So, don't worry, sister. You can breathe a sigh of relief now!

I've always been a Windows user, so using a MAC OS X system is kind of a challenge for me. But so far, it's pretty easy to use and I've already learnt some of the keyboard shortcuts. 

 

Anyway, the below are specs of this particular MacBook Pro 13" model:-

 

Processor

2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor

 

The processor is amazingly fast. I mean, it starts up in less than 30 seconds! And I may have gotten the smaller screen laptop, but it already feels rather large for me. The MacBook Pro 13" also comes in a higher spec, with the 2.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 processor, which is an even more powerful processor. But for a blogger like me, the i5 processor is more than enough.

 

Now, the next thing I need to get is a bag for my new baby. Here's a few that I've been checking out.

 

Casauri 13-inch Envelope Computer Case (US$49.95) - Apple Store
Acme Made Lombard Sleeve 13" (US$49.95) - Apple Store
Knomo 13" Embossed Quilt Sleeve (US$59.95) - Apple Store
Polka Black Slim Messenger Bag (US$59.90) - Fabrix Cases
Kate Spade New York 13" Felt Sleeve (HK$820) - Apple Store HK

 

Earlier, I posted a picture of the Kate Spade New York 13" Felt Sleeve asking for comments on it. And I had received a unanimous 'YES!!" from everyone who commented. So, I want to give a SHOUT-OUT for those fashionistas who gave a thumbs up to the Kate Spade.

 

The first couple of commenters! Hi ladies!
And the ladies gave their verdict!

 

But I still want to know what others have to say. Or maybe if you have a suggestion for me? Just drop your thoughts into the comments below! Which one would be perfect for a shopaholic like me?

 

i Heart My MacBook Pro!

    The polka dot one looks cute too! But I still vote for Kate Spade because the colours pop and it looks luxurious compare to the rest :)

    Lol, looks like the polka dot one is getting more attention. Maybe asking you guys to comment is not such a good idea. I'm so tempted to get BOTH now!!

    Manisha, babe. Lol, save up for one, like I did! :)
