I read every single comment and email that readers sent to me, at least twice. I really gave a lot of thought to this purchase and definitely took into account all of the sage advice that everyone so generously provided.
And, based on what readers said and what was really going to fit my needs, this weekend I finally decided on the 15 inch MacBook Pro and the 21.5 inch iMac, both with regular screens instead of the non-glare. And, I did get the one-to-one service or as I told the salesperson, the genius-to-moron help. I know I'm going to need it! I ended up with 2 new computers for the price I would have paid for the larger laptop I was initially leaning towards. Now I have both the big screen I need for my daily work and the portability I crave from a lap top.
Not withstanding the computer issues, my little hiatus was very relaxing as well as productive, but it's nice to be back in blogworld, I've missed you all!
Welcome back, Rebecca!!
ReplyDeleteI suspect you'll love your Mac so much that we'll be seeing (reading) a lot of you! :)
Have a wonderful week!

Glad to see you back. My dd has a Mac and just loves it. I hope you have fun learning all the ins and outs of a new computer. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI missed your posts. Glad you are back.
ReplyDeleteLove your posts and can I just say, I'm more into that slipper chair ;). On the mac note, I switch between the two and I'm probably just an odd one but I love my PC. I'm glad you love your new toy!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I'm so excited to hear about your Mac experience and I'm loving that chair fabric!

I think you are going to be VERY happy when you get used to them. Can't imagine typing away on anything but my Mac and trust me I am so a creature of habit, its not even funny! Enjoy and welcome back.
ReplyDeleteGreat decision! I know that you are going to be SO happy with your purchase!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday.

Woo Hoo! Congrats. You will love! I have the exact same set up. They can talk to each other and see shared folders/files if you set up for that. I also put everything on an external hard drive, so when traveling with my Pro I can have all the files that are on the desk top without too much problems. The NO wires thing is awesome!! Have fun learning. Once you get it down you will forget all about PC life.
ReplyDeletePS: The track pad for the Desktop is definitely worth getting too.
ReplyDeletewelcome back! you will love it. Hope you don't have any windows to mac adjustments.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck.

Hello Rebecca
ReplyDeleteI love your desk and work area. I have a MacBook, as mentioned earlier, and cannot imagine life without one.
Welcome back

Congratulations for crossing over from the dark side. Only kidding, partly. I think you will be really happy w/your choice.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, you'll never look back!!!
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteI made the move to
an i-Mac last fall and
I love it. I bought the
One to One but have only
gone in once. It's on my
summer MUST DO list!
Obviously, it's intuitive
enough for me to navigate
on my own, but I know I
could be doing things better
or smarter, so off I will go,
a good student : )
I use an i-pad for my portable
device and LOVE it!
Happy Friday,
xo Suzanne
