I almost had an iMac. Last week when we went to the mall, I noticed that my husband looked pretty excited. When we reached Glorietta, I realized why. There was a BPI madness again on all computers and accessories. We were in search for a cheap 22″ LCD monitor so we jumped from one booth to another, hoping we can find a good deal. And what did I see?
This.
20-inch: 2.4GHz iMac. My dream machine. Well, next to 24-inch: 3.06GHz of course. It’s still pretty huge and the best part is, the store is offering it at a 0% interest. For only Php5,800 ($128++) a month, I can have an iMac. My own iMac. The one that I’ve been saving up for so long but no matter what I do, I just kept on spending on other trivial things. My husband said the monthly payment is even lower than what I used to pay for my notebook. So it’s all good. Great deal, awesome machine. The thing is I had second thoughts. I haven’t played with Mac before and know it will take me months before I get used to it. And then I’ll need to buy new graphic software, accessories, etc. Okay so I’m just making excuses, I know. While writing this, I wonder if I made a mistake on not getting one?
My husband bought this for me yesterday. A wireless mouse is one of the items from my list of things to buy. However, I didn’t expect that I will have to pay $50 just to get one. I specifically told my husband to not spend more than $35 and yet he came home with this.
The Logitech LX7 Wireless mouse
The Good:
Sleek and stylish design
Long battery life, up to 8 months
Additional buttons for forward and back to control your browser
Scroll side-to-side. Effortlessly zoom in and out of photos and spreadsheets.
Comfort grip; supposed to cut down on fatigue.
Wireless mini-receiver. Say goodbye to cords
The Bad:
I’ve gotten so used to my old Logitech moouse that this one seemed too heavy and too sleek to do anything. I’m having trouble navigating that I’m afraid to even try designing with it. However, according to my husband, I just need some time getting used to it. I hope he’s right.
Don’t you just love that tagline? I just saw it from Apple’s Macbook Air website. Their creative people must be getting paid a lot of money.
Anyway, Macbook Air is the latest and may I say coolest notebook by Apple. It’s the world’s thinnest notebook with 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch trackpad. It weighs 3lbs and would you believe, can fit into a large envelope? I’m not kidding. I saw the demo on TV. The Intel Core Duo 2 chip has been customized to fit the Macboook Air so you don’t have to worry about sacrificing performance. It’s also built for the wireless life whether you’re video blogging, renting movies or backing up files into an external drive.
The best thing is, I CAN afford it! LOL. Only because the dollar to peso conversion is so low.
