Personal Finance on an Apple Macbook Pro Sunday Roundup

by MoneyNing

After contemplating my options of replacing my current Dell laptop’s dim LCD screen, I went to the Apple store and bought a Macbook Pro! Now that I’ve used it for a few days, I can see why everyone who switched to a Mac never looks back. The screen is simply amazing, so I’m sure that working on this laptop for long hours will help my eyes in the long run. Furthermore, as someone who used Windows for the past 15 years, I found daily operation with the Mac to be much easier. I’m sure this will help my productivity and help give me more time to write good personal finance articles!

This week as usual, there are tons of good articles around the blogsphere! Check these out!

  • My Two Dollars tells us what we should see coming, the economic stimulus checks will mean higher taxes for us in the future!
  • Paid Twice seems to have found a treasure from someone else’s junk!  I always found that it is important to look at all ways to gather coupons!
  • Dividend Growth Investor noticed that some states might be more investor friendly so he did an analysis to see which states the dividend paying stocks he’s interested in are located.
  • No Debt Plan just alerted me that Skype is only charging $2.95 per month for unlimited calls within US and Canada!  Wow!  I’m definitely signing up!
  • Cash Money Life suggests that we should involve our family and friends for our wedding!  I must say that this is a good idea for anything because not only does it save us money but also gives us a chance to spend some time together with family and friends!

I totally understand the price issue because it was my primary concern also. However, after realizing that its quite bad for my eyes to look at a dim laptop for long periods of hours daily and the fact that Macs usually last longer in the technology curve, it was an easy decision.

There are so many subtle little things on my Mac that increase my productivity that over time it does pay off. Spaces, for one; Time Machine, for another.

Now i understand you really got what you paid for in buying a product.One maybe expensive but it has special benefits that cheaper cannot provide.

I switched four years ago and haven’t look back. The wealth of GTD apps alone is worth the switch for some people.

It is NOT worth the money. There are so many hardware issues with Macbook Pros its not even funny. My screen went permenently dim after only a few months of use. One port works intermittently and the DVD drive only reads disks that it wants to – meaning only 20% of what it should.

STAY AWAY from this machine!
