I am feeling obsessed with Apple’s new refresh of the MacBook. It finally brings the Pro love to the younger sibling. I’ve been really juggling the thoughts about this jewel because, now that I am using my Dell XPS M1530 full-time in and out of class, I am recognizing the moderate inconvenience of “having it all”.

Late summer 2008, I decided to get the 1530 absolutely loaded. I got a great deal online with a 25% e-coupon, which frankly, made me very happy with my purchase. However, now that I’ve had all this time with all its possibilities, such as gaming, watching TV with the tuner I bought, and just having the implementation of a full HD screen, it feels all too monotonous now, and the freshness and originality of a MacBook or MacBook Pro seems so welcomed. I am enthralled with the MacBook itself because of its portability. Like I mentioned earlier, the M1530 I have is a 15-incher, the common size for notebook consumers to purchase. Unlike the Mac’s, the Dell is sloped-like on the bottom, such that it doesn’t lay flad when on a small, portioned surface like an auditorium’s armrest. The MacBook only jumps down ~2 inches in screen size, but it does bog down in other areas. My fear is that, in some Godly way, if I was to acquire a MacBook, I’d miss the superiority of the M1530. However, if I have this love for the MacBook and I crave to have it, obviously the pro’s are outweighing the con’s, no? In any way, I think it would be awesome to have and would really feel better in college. Am I regretting my notebook purchase decision? Not really. Do I wish the new MacBook would have been revealed mid-summer? YOU BET!
