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!

I looked at the Mac Books, but decided to pass because of the price. maybe one day I will change my mind.
Thanks for the mention.
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.
