Izzy’s Blog-o-matic Machine

I am getting a new laptop in a few days, so I can really rev up the amount of posts on DLG (and Cafe Izabel, too). I need your help to decide which one to get.

My top choices are:

  1. MacBook 13″ aluminum 2.0 GHz, with aftermarket SSD upgrade at some point
  2. Thinkpad 12″ model with SSD
  3. Thinkpad 13″ model with SSD
macbook
MacBook 13″ aluminum 2.0 GHz
x301
Thinkpad 13″, X301
lenovo-thinkpad-x200-laptop
Thinkpad 12″ X200

      Thanks guys!!! It is very cool and I love it a lot. It is very different that my Windows machine in many ways but overall I am really bonding with it.

      I think the key with switching to Mac after a lifetime of using Windows is not having the expectation that it’s supposed to work the same in any way. It is like forgetting what you know and starting over.

      I do use a Windows VM at work. When Windows 7 comes out I will probably install bootcamp on it and use Windows too.

      I am not a Mac groupie, I hate Mac groupies. You know the type? They always feel the need to say “Yea well Mac does that too!!” or “Apple invented it first!!” or something like that. Very defensive all the time about why Macs are better and Windows sucks SO much. Do you know what I mean?? Sounds to me like they are compensating you know. I am OS agnostic, I love certain things about both and am “woman enough” to admit if Mac or Windows isn’t perfect in some ways and that they have flaws :) .
