To Change Or Not To

Currently I’m on a dilemma situation, I’ve been thinking to change my babe Macbook to Compaq laptop (Presario V3000). What I experience from Macbook is fine, it’s totally a fine ass machine, but when it comes to softwares, I’m really doubt that, secondly, Mac isn’t that hot in Malaysia yet, so you can imagine how hard I communicate with my friends about softwares and stuff like that.

I’ve been eyeing this machine for sometimes, although it’s a bit old here, but judging from the specification it has, I don’t think it can’t beat a Mac, including the price too. So I sit down and do some revalue management on both Macbook and Compaq…

Macbook Value:
Due to the sky high price, it stop quite a lot of people from buying Mac product, but looking into the life span a Mac has, it’s amazingly long comparing to any PC, be it a desktop or laptop. PC running Pentium 4 is hard to run Vista now, but iBook G4 can run Mac OSX Leopard smoothly. The life span is way longer than PC and hence the price is higher too. Getting a Mac product let say RM5000 can be used up to 5 to 8 years.

PC Value:
Due to the popularity that it has, 80% of the population in this world using it. Price is one thing, familiarity is a bonus. Judging from the life span, as you can see, 3 to 5 years would be the maximum life span for a PC, for example, my friend who bought her laptop 3 years ago, after a few update from Windows XP SP1 to SP3, causing her to have a lagging laptop, in other word, time to change a laptop, it’s just a short 3 years, don’t even try to mention about Vista on her laptop ok?! price tagged at RM3800.

I’m still thinking. Due to my finance difficulty at this moment, I think I’ll stick to what I have now Getting an extra desktop is a dream now…

Sweet Home Or What

Going back home is a great news, people said it’s sweet home, but for me, this is what a bedroom I have!

Home sweet home or what? There wasn’t any pillow available by the way, I’ve spent a few night sleeping in my parent’s room like I used to haha… There was these 2 adjustable beds in the room, my mom sure having her nice night and dream all this while. And my computer? At another room, and due to some reason I has no time to make any contact with my Macbook yet, but this PC, with upgraded RAM was fantastic! Pentium 4, 2.4GHz with 1GB RAM now running smoother like never before. Got to take some times explore more into this desktop than my Macbook now

Disk Utility

So you still think Mac OSX really that powerful? I’ve had this problem most of the time, the disk verifying! It’s just the same that Mac need some healthcare cart as well.

Restart needed, which I hate the most, I don’t know why, this Macbook has been serving me nicely for the pass one year, and I’m deeply in love with it now, so far, I did 4 times disk verifying. Compare to Windows PC I might need 3 times reformatting
