this beauty packs 120gb of wrath and it comes in sleek black and usb 2.0 fastness. i got my entire life backed up to it now and it sits next to my macbook black like a loyal puppy. it’s got a cool blue led ring when it’s on and it fits in my pocket when i travel. friggin brilliant!

it’s a gift from vie and it’s the best gadget anyone ever gave me on my birthday. thx doll!

I like my laptop sleek and black with glowing ambience at the back. I like it light and thin I can hide it in my bag and take it places I go. I like how it sits strong on the desk and can last hours wire-free at the cafes. I like how girls steal glances when they pass and fantasize my 5 pound machinery. I like how it has a brain large enough to contest with the library of Alexandria. I like how it collects more tunes than Lollapalooza and plays flicks you don’t see on cable.

But. it. breaks. my. fucking. back.

Maybe I need one of these.

I wrote about this on TechFresh the day it was launched but I held off posting it here so I could cool off my lust and am able to look at it own my own blog without orgasming too much.

Anyway the new hotness is called MacBook sans the “Pro”. It’s a lower end model compared to the MacBook Pro. Still it makes a very powerful machine with the new Intel Cored Duo processing chip and dual-channel DDR2. It also sports a much brighter screen, 13-inch glossy widescreen as opposed to the sad 12-inch normal screen of the previous iBook G4. It comes with a built-in iSight webcam, Bluetooth, the amazing SuperDrive, 802.11g Airport and a practical Apple Remote (so you can control your MacBook on your desk while you’re in the crapper). As far as software goes it’s packed with the latest Mac OS X Tiger 10.4, iLife ‘06 and Front Row.

It’s one bad blogging machine if you ask me, and the black version is just beautiful. It costs about $100 more than the white version though, so maybe it’s made from black kryptonite or something. OK let me rob a bank or something so I can grab one.

Update: Some smart-ass in Japan thought it was cool to dissect a brand new MacBook.

As if Apple didn’t understand my financial struggle, they sent me this in the mail today:

The first Mac notebook to feature the powerful new Intel Core Duo processor, MacBook Pro answers all your portable dreams. Blazing fast, it delivers the biggest performance leap in mobile Mac history, offering up to 4 times the speed of the 15-inch PowerBook G4. And 8 times the graphics bandwidth.

A revolutionary new product, MacBook Pro also features a beautiful built-in display that’s 67% brighter than the one on the 15-inch PowerBook. It’s a noticeable improvement you’re sure to enjoy because MacBook Pro comes with a built-in iSight that lets you video conference wherever your new portable dream machine takes you.

Now my iBook seems like an old fussy girlfriend who doesn’t do anything cuz she’s fat and lazy. I don’t need this temptation.

Enough lame suspense. I sold my Aspire 3002LCi laptop cuz it had weak battery life (1.5hrs) and it was too big and clunky to carry around.

I went to Jakarta last Tuesday to pick up a 12.1″ iBook G4. It just happened that the 512MB DDR I bought for my Acer was exactly the same type DDR the iBook has a slot for. So now I have an iBook (yeah baby) with 1GB RAM. It’s got durable polycarbonate body and magnesium frames and it’s looking sweet on my desk in its sexy white glory.

I took it to the beach with me (more on that later) and it survived 16hrs of bumpy rides. The batery lasts up to 6hrs and I can now work part time on free wifi at the malls.

I’ll post pictures of her later.
