I mean, I didn&#8217;t just find out about it (Igwe has one), but I have never owned a MacBook of any kind. The only Apple product I have is my third generation iPad, which I bought in 2012? At the time I bought it, I owned a Blackberry, so it made sense to have an iPad, too. These days though, I barely use it.<\/p>\n<p>For now, I have narrowed my love to either the 13-inch MacBook Pro [with Retina Display] or the 13-inch MacBook Air. \u00a0I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;m actually considering selling out to Apple. It&#8217;s not that I hate Apple, and it&#8217;s not at all that I have sworn off all Apple products, but just that I&#8217;ve always been such a PC girl. And I have always believed that Apple is complicated. Yet, here I am.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, as a blogger, I think I&#8217;d look way cooler with a MacBook, no? Anyway, as of this very day, yes, I plan on buying a MacBook, but time only will tell what I eventually buy. I don&#8217;t intend to buy the MacBook till July of this year. Reason is that the new MacBook Air comes out around April and the new MacBook Pro comes out around July, so yes, I want to see what the new generations will look like before I make up my mind.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, if you have any reason why I should or should not get a MacBook, now will be the time to tell me. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think. Remember when I put up a post asking when it became uncool to use Sony?
