tongue-in-cheek

I do work in the real world at a real company that actually requires that I do work! 40 hours a week of it, in fact. I also go to school full-time. (Sleep is for the weak.)

you have such a good sense of humor.

I want full laptop functionality and the ability to not have to be connected to the internet, though - and a larger screen than my iPad.

Meh. It fits my needs, it's what I want, and I work hard for my money and am very close to debt-free, so I'm going to get what I want.

Because I want to?

It's really interesting to me how different people's experiences with tech can be - my stepmom has an iBook that can't really handle the internet anymore and needs to stay plugged in, but still works great as a word processor, whereas my HP laptop has been repaired four times in three years and now refuses to stay on…

but I'm still not going to get something that I can use on my lap and I'm going to pay a comparable amount of money, so ... eh.

my experience is that Apple products stand up better to my daily use, and I just like them.

I don't, in the literal sense of the word, NEED a laptop at all. It's just a pain in the ass to not have one, so I'm going to get what I want.

Apple mice are Bluetooth.

the keyboard and trackpad were too small, keyboard was uncomfortable to type on (that is actually my reservation re: the MacBook, too), it was frustratingly difficult to have multiple windows open at the same time, and the OS is appalling looking. Mostly. It's been about a year since I used one so it's possible those…

AKA not who this laptop is built for.

Those users aren't who this computer is for, though. (And who the fuck still plugs in a mouse?)

why is all of the plating so terrible? it's really not that difficult to put food on plates in a nice looking way, people.

You are so wrong.

I also have this problem and it makes me so sad.

WHAT EVEN IS THAT
