Unproductive-need technology shift

Admittedly, I have been sick the past week. Traces of my sore throat is still present till now. Although I kissed other sickness goodbye, but my productivity this two weeks has been greatly reduced to 10%. For business minded guys, you surely understand how it feels like to be down fallen to 10% productivity.

Why so terrible the fall? Technology, YES... I'm no kidding here, I know I could have been better with my sickness off, but it was my computer that made my productivity fall so great, till I could nearly post anything in my blog. My blogging posting activities has always been at least 2-3 post average per week, but right now, with no good computer to process the words, what more pictures... I really was drag to the slowest condition...

PC...PC...PC... well actually its a laptop, a pc running laptop. I don't know why, for the past 3-4 weeks my laptop has been running smoothly and fast. Although it is 3 years old (and would probably enter its 4 this year), I still expect some good-smooth running programs all the time. But right now, it feels like ditching it away and buying a new one.

Well,I have better plans. I will purchase a new baby. I think its crucial for me to get one as my old-old processor just could't carry my workloads. So what will be the next purchase? Lets see, I need latest power, I need good graphic, I need security, I need aesthetic, I need speed, I need convenience.... I need a MAC...
Is that true? well,I actually wanted to hide this out, but YES... I'm getting myself the infamous Apple Macbook Pro. I feel I really need it. With that, I'll be able to project my mind and raise productivity to a better level.

I already checked out online apple store and will purchase the mac with this spec:

• Macbook Pro 15"
• 2.8Ghz Processor with 6MB L2 FSB at 1066Mhz
• 4GB 1066Mhz DDR3 sdRAM
  
• 250GB 7200rpm HD
• NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT with  512MB of GDDR3 memory
  

Price? you check it yourself, I cant dare announce it here, but anyway, I got some good education discount and is far more cheaper that ordinary purchase at any Apple store around Kota Kinabalu. What I really like about mac is the fact that you can get almost NO viruses and the ability to boot Windows and its related software in one book. This should be an added WOW to my studio list.

I really should have taken just a desktop, shouldn't I? well, I prefer going portable with good power. Some other friends suggested me to go for the Mac Pro... but sorry, its to expensive and I don't think I require such power yet. probably not in the near 3-4 years. For now, my plans will be...
Buy an external monitor for better editing, make it act as a double display togather with my macbook pro. phew.... there's lots of plans in mind but I think this should be sufficient. Untill then, do wait for the updates on the new gadget inside FriscoD Photography® Works.
