A new Mac at our house

That's right, we got a brand new computer at our house this week, and we love it! We had not really anticipated getting one that was quite this big and quite this nice, but the opportunity arose and we grabbed it!

Our faithful, white macbook has served us well the last 4 years. It was the computer that we shared through the last 3 years of college. But time was running out on the life of our trsty laptop. Even though we'd replaced the disk drive and upgraded the harddrive, the battery was dying and had a hard time holding a charge and after I dropped it about a year ago, the screen was a little off-kilter. It was time for an upgrade. Chad took the laptop to Simply Mac where they were having a deal on a sweet desktop. It's 27", I7 processor, and a 2 TB harddrive. With a fortunate bit of a luck and a heated debate with the salesguy, we were able to sell back our old laptop and put it towards the cost of the new computer.

It's awesome. Although we no longer have a laptop, we're at a point now where we don't really need one, I'm graduated and Chad only has 18 credits left. We absolutely love it. An unanticipated, added benefit is that we've put it in our room and started doubling it as tv for our bedroom. It's been great for watching Netflix and movies in our room.

We love our new computer!
