My top 3 favorite laptops

Hello guys and welcome at a new post, today I am going to talk about three of my favorite laptops, two of them are Mac’s and one is a pc, so without further a do lets get started.

Lets start of with number three of my list, and that is the Razer Blade 14 inch. I just love the design, it looks a bit like the Retina MacBook Pro, but this one just looks more bad ass. It has a black finish, and the illuminated Razer logo on the lid. I’ve never used this computer, but I’ve seen plenty of reviews and pictures of it to base my opinion on. The keyboard looks really comfortable to me, and a lot of reviewers say that the keyboard is a very high-quality keyboard. The speakers in this laptop are very good compared with other laptops, which surprised me a little, because to be fair I’ve never owned a laptop, or used a laptop with a decent pair of speakers. They all sound really tinny and very cheap.

Lets get back to the point, the Razer Blade 14 is a gaming notebook, and that’s why I love it so much. Most gaming laptops look bulky and heavy like some models of MSI or Alienware, but this laptop looks so nice. It is thin, and light but it still has a lot of power under the hood. The screen looks very nice to me, and its touchscreen so that’s something I really like about the Razer Blade. If I have to choose a gaming laptop I would choose this above an Alienware because of the very nice design and touchscreen.

Number two of my favorite laptops is my old and trusty early 2008 MacBook with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor clocked at 2.4 GHz, originally it came with a 160 GB hard drive which I upgraded to an Samsung SSD with 256 GB. I own this laptop for around two years now and it has never let me down, and it runs very nice still to this day. I really love the design of this laptop, as most Apple fans know its made from white plastic, the bad thing about this design is that the plastics cracks after a few years of use. My MacBook is in almost mint condition, and the plastic had just cracked a little bit. The keyboard is really nice even after more then 6 years of use, but it feels a little worn out compared with the new MacBooks. The screen has an LCD backlighting which means that its yellowed after al those years, if you’re using the MacBook without a second display its not really noticeable but compared with my iiyama its just looks really yellowed. My iiyama is a newer screen off course, and it has LED backlighting so you can’t really compare it. The MacBook I own has 2 gigabytes of RAM but you can 4 gigabytes in it but I’m not seeing the need to upgrade it because when I buy a Mac Pro that will become my main machine. 

My favorite laptop is the MacBook Air, because its light and thin, the Air just looks really nice overall. The MacBook Air’s aren’t really powerful compared to the Pro’s but they’re a lot cheaper then MacBook Pro’s. The keyboard on those laptops are really nice, and they type wonderful. It’s a shame that the screen isn’t retina, but it is good enough to work with. I love the 11 inch version because its really small so you can easily put them in your bag. The battery lives on the Air’s are great, the 11 inch has over 9 hours of battery life, and the 13 inch has over 12 hours of battery life, and this is just one of the reasons why this laptop is great for students. You don’t have to charge them while in class, and the portability is just great. There is not much to say about this laptop, because its just the perfect laptop eventually for people like me, who don’t need a lot of power on the go. If I have to buy a new laptop it would definitely be this one.

Dream setup updates

Hello everybody and welcome at another post,


This post is a quick update post, because I have some plans for the setup, and I've found a new way to afford it. I've got a job at Mc Donald's so I can earn some money to buy new things for my setup. Now that I've got a job I can buy more expensive things, and buy everything faster. I will still be buying a Mac Pro 1.1 but its going to see some upgrades. I'm defenitly upgrading the graphicscard allthough I'm not sure which brand and wich model. Later this year I will upgrade the two 2.66 Dual Core Xeons to two Quad core Xeons, which makes a total for eight cores.

The 1.1 is an older machine, and I'm perfectly aware of what I'm buying but if in spend some money on it, it will be a powerfull machine which wil suite my needs. My current MacBook will be upgraded to somewhere in the new future, I'm thinking of buying a MacBook Air 2011 of 2014. In my older post I mentioned something about buying a MacBook Pro, but I've grown older and wiser and I've learned that paying for things you don't need is just stupid. Sure the MacBook Pro's are nice computers, and they are very fast but I just don't need a very powerful machine so the MacBook Air will suite my needs just fine.

So this was a quick update on my setup, and next month I've saved up all the money to buy the Mac Pro so stay tuned for my review and opinion about it. If I find something interesting to write about I will defenitely do it, but if I don't my first post will be around Christmas.

Thanks for reading, and untill the next one!

My ultimate desk setup

Hello everybody and welcome at a new post.

I've bought a new desk a while ago, so a huge part of my ultimate desk setup is already completed. I will purchase some other things. After doing a lot of research I came to the decision that buying a Iiyama Prolite E2483 HS is the best way to go. Sure an Apple Cinema Display looks really nice but its a bit outdated. And the funny thing is, a 23 inch aluminum Cinema Display is almost the same price as a brand new Iiyama Prolite. My current monitor isn't for sale anymore but it is a wonderful monitor, so I'm just buying the newer one because the bezels are the same size and the panel is probably the same. Its a full HD LED screen, so it won't use a lot of electricity either.

I'm going to purchase an used Mac Pro 1.1 next month and it will see some mayor upgrades to keep it up with modern computing. I am going to upgrade the processors from 2x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon's (Woodcrest) to two Quad Core Intel Xeon's (Costa Rica) and I am going to put a Nvidia Geforce GT 720 in it so its nice and fast again.

And to fully complete the setup I will be buying a new Apple Wireless keyboard and the Apple Magic Mouse 2. I am looking for a new MacBook, but that is the last thing I'm going to upgrade because my early 2008 MacBook is just fine for when I'm on the road. If I'm buying another laptop I will probably go for the 2012 MacBook Pro or the 2014 MacBook Air. When this is al completed my dream setup is done.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post, thanks for reading and until the next one!

Update!

Hello everybody and welcome at another update post,

My setup has changed completely last month, I bought a new desk, and my setup is completely different. I have awesome plans for the future, I'm going to buy an Iiyama Prolite E2483HS to sort to match my Iiyama Prolite E2482HS, and I'm going to mount them both. I'm getting a Mac Pro, and a new keyboard, mouse and speakers.

I'm going to make another post about my setup very soon, I'm just very busy with school, and thats the reason why I don't have much time to write a post.

But I probably will upload every update about my setup this Sunday, thanks for reading and until the next one.
