I have had my gorgeous baby Macbook for nearly four years and four months – which is amazing in itself… but it has become way too old and slow for me. I remember buying this with my iPod and getting that great student discount. Ahhh life was good.
I even documented opening it. Who doesn’t like new Mac smell?
My Macbook was never bought with the intention of it being my only computer. I always used my iMac for heavy duty use – the Macbook was just for uni.
Then I moved over here, left the iMac with mum and dad (it went to Apple Heaven last year – they quickly bought a replacement) and since then, I have used my Macbook for absolutely everything.
So, I held out until the WWDC Keynote today to make sure there wouldn’t be any surprises… and there wasn’t. So it is time to get a new Macbook Pro. I am so nervous at the thought of spending that much (how times have changed!) but I have to take the plunge. I cannot wait to set it up all fresh and pretty and finally be able to use iTunes and iPhoto without plugging in my Lacie external drive!
My little Macbook does have XP installed on it – so I am keeping it for that alone as I use MYOB to do mum and dad’s BAS reports for the ATO. It will also be the perfect travelling laptop.
As an original mac.com and now MobileMe member, one thing I am definitely not very happy about has been the way Apple have treated existing members with the introduction of iCloud. It looks like it is sorting itself out and we will get refunds after all but I cannot believe they thought we would be fine with them charging our renewals and then deciding to end the service and make the replacement free without considering a pro-rated refund process. A group of us all sent in complaints through Apple feedback and/or online help and it looks like we are getting a resolution. Maybe it was the guy that mentioned the words ‘class action’.
Bring on Lion and iOS5!!!!
