So, my laptop started breathing its last not too long ago, around the end of December. It had had a good three-year run, and I was going to miss it, but I was ready to move on to bigger and better things. Faster things. More Mac than then old girl.
My next laptop was going to be a Mac. Specifically, a Macbook Pro, a desktop replacement computer. Just my speed.
But, it was too close to the Macworld Expo, so I couldn't buy one. If I bought one, and then they announced a new, better, faster one (for the same price) a month later? I'd lost it.
So I decided to wait for Macworld. Which I did.
It came, and went, and no new Macbook Pro was announced. W.......what?
Maybe they would follow up a week later? Maybe some bugs needed to be worked out, and it was just near the door but not quite ready for prime-time, but almost, and on its way?
I waited.
No new Macbooks.
I waited.
My laptop finally gave up the ghost, and now I was without a home computer. I began spending even more time at work (with my working work computer). And I waited.
Well, eventually.... I just couldn't wait anymore. I bought a Lenovo T61p. It's not a Mac, but it has pretty good bang for the buck.
It arrived yesterday.
The new Macbooks came out today.
Of course.

That sucks.
ReplyDeleteIf you want you could live vicariously through our Mac laptop, just come on over. It's a Powerbook, not a Macbook, but you could pretend.
