Perhaps one of the most exciting part of getting a new piece of electronic is the unboxing of the item itself. Veritable technology review sites such as CNet and Engadget have been harnessing this…um…euphoria in the form of videos and photo galleries detailing every step of unboxing for the masses to vicariously enjoy.
In the past few weeks, my 5-year old Dell laptop has been dropping heavy hints that it wishes to retire. What began as intermittent jams turned into regular blue screens of death and immense overheating. After half a decade of service, my laptop wishes to end the grueling daily routine of being the laptop of a college student, and spend its remaining days roaming free in an open field chasing flying windows; though if it was a field dedicated to broken Dell laptops, it must be pretty crowded.
Nevertheless, I decided to switch to a Mac. User-friendly interface, no threats of viruses, and the endorsement by a friend who had been a die-hard PC until he switched to a Macbook Pro made it an easy decision for me. While I’m a huge fan of John Hodgman’s writing, those Mac vs. PC commercials convincingly showed me that being a PC is definitely not the way to go. So, I got a new mac, and below are the unboxing pics!
