iPad
Well, Apple has done it again, but I am not so sure this one will be a success. The iPad seems to be a great tablet, but honestly its just a ipod on steroids. Granted it looks nice and has a quick processor, but the limited firmware and lack of hardware make it less of a tablet. Granted I don’t expect to have Apple add everything all at once, cause there is always version 2, 3, or even 4 to add things, but at least give us something over the competition.
We will soon see though. We didn’t think the iPod and iPhone would be a success, but now look at it…
…I owe how much? *Updated*
Well, as everyone knows I sent back my Dell to get a Mac. Ever since I have been really happy with that decision, and really had no issues. However it appears as I over extended myself this year, and now I kind of have to sell this beauty of a machine. I will get something slightly less powerful, and not as big next time. However that won’t be for a while. Maybe I will just go with a NetBook for now and take it one day at a time.
Sad really, as I like it quite a bit, but you have to do, what you have to do… :/
EDIT: Laptop was sold on Craigs.
UPDATE 3: Laptop search continues, or has it ended?
Well, long story short. I love my new mac and its working well now. After speaking with customer service, I was told that everything would be fine and everything will work out, and well – it has…
Both Apple and Amazon were great in the return process and dealing with the issues that I had 🙂
I miss the E4300 in some ways, but you can’t get everything you want.
UPDATE 2: Laptop search continues, or has it ended?
Well, this has been a rough ride so far with the Apple 🙁
I should of known something was wrong when one pixel kept on flashing white/red for the first few minutes of the machine first power on. However I thought that was only a one time thing and it wouldn’t do it again…but I was wrong.
A couple days after I noticed a bunch of pixels turning weird colors, I thought it was a program I was running so I rebooted and all went away. Next I saw a dead sub-pixel. I tried everything to bring it back to live, but nothing worked. Then the other “bunch” decided to join in and started to have issues again. Unfortunately, it is intermittent so I can’t get a nice shot of it, but it does happen.
I am still speaking to Amazon and Apple about this issue – and I hope to get it resolved shortly.
UPDATE: Laptop search continues, or has it ended?
Well, I returned the Dell. I called up customer care and told them my reasons and they basically said “no problem we’ll take it back”.
Now I have my new 15in MacBook and I also picked up complete care to go along with it. Now I know the Apple doesn’t have accident protection (which really stinks by the way), and some other really cool features of the E4300, but I have to admit it sure looks good.
My only problem right now is finding a good case since I don’t want anything to get scratched. Oh well, thats the least of my worries for now. I have other more important things on my mind – job, paying bills, and etc.
On another note, I have been using a MacBook at work for nearly 2+ years now and it hasn’t failed me yet *knock on wood*. Lets hope this one has the same reliability… 🙂
