Brought to You by MacBook Pro

My laptop died a couple of weeks into the semester. For the next month I used a loaner from the law library, an oversized, bulky Dell. Then, two weeks ago I came home and found a beautiful surprise from Chris quietly sitting on the table.



(Insert lots of excited exclamations here!!!!!)

The box opened to reveal a computer nestled in a perfectly designed package, with clean compartments and tabs for the few extras included. Inside the box I discovered one sexy piece of technology. The slim body opens and closes like a glove, the solid casing is made from one piece of aluminum, the key board is backlit, and the power cord is pure genius. Most importantly, the computer operates as well as it looks. Aside from the geeky specifications that make the machine run smoothly, I love that it powers up and powers down in a matter of seconds. And the battery life is awesome.

Given my disdain for the loaner laptop I was using, one may wonder why I hadn't already purchased a replacement. After my HP Pavillion DV2000 died, I was shocked to discover that there was absolutely no laptop on the market that would fulfill two of my laptop requirements. I wanted a laptop with a 14 inch screen size and no shiny or matte black casing. The MacBook Pro, coming in at 13 inches, was the closest thing I could find, but I was deterred by the price. I was not deterred by the price, however, when accepting it as a gift from my husband, thus ignoring all concepts of community property learned in law school.

Not only is my MacBook Pro sexy, sturdy, and functional, but it also makes me look sexier. Here are a couple of pictures I took using Photo Booth.





Well, the last one isn't so sexy, but it is ferocious.

What else can I say except that my husband is the best, and this blog proves it.
