First week as an Apple user

So after a long time resisting, I finally made the jump last week and purchased an Apple laptop. I got the macbook pro, and I have to say that I am completely in love with this Apple computer.

I was a little hesitant on joining the “mac nation” but all my fears turned out to be nothing, and making the transition from PC to Apple has been much smoother than I would have expected.

For me, the learning that was most crucial was learning how to control the computer with hand commands. Using a mouse with only one button was going to be something to overcome, but with a couple little tricks, you will be over that and ready to see just what these popular Apple computers are all about.

After 1 week, I can honestly say that this is my favorite computer I have ever owned. Now I understand why so many Apple users are so die hard about these machines. Everything seems a lot simpler, and more straight forward than on a PC computer.

Still a lot to learn about making the apple switch, but for now things could not be going any better.

Have any tips or tricks you want to share about navigating around on an Apple macbook?Feel free to share!

Hewlett-Packard 2133 Mini-Note PC

Hewlett-Packard announced the release of its smallest ever laptop computer, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC.

This is the first time that the company has tried to make a move into the low priced market of ultra small computer laptops. If you are interested in this new ultra small laptop, you can expect to pay anywhere between $500 and $900, depending on your configuration.

The laptop has an 8.9″ screen, and weighs in at slightly higher than 2.5 pounds. According to the company website, it is geared towards the educational market. One of the biggest concerns consumers have with mini notebook computers is the keyboard size. This computer has an almost full size keyboard, at 92% the size of a typical keyboard layout.

Here are a few of the features:

• Anodized aluminum shell that is sleek, sturdy, and lightweight;
• An 8.9-inch diagonal WXGA display with a resolution of 1,280 pixels by 768 pixels
• Two battery options: Either the three-cell for lightest-weight configurations, or the choice of the six-cell for longer battery life;
• Wireless technologies. These include integrated Wi-Fi Certified WLAN and optional Bluetooth™

The computers move away from using an Intel chip, and instead have a C7-M microprocessor from Taiwan’s Via Technologies.
