A New Artifact In My Room

    At the beginning of this semester, I purchased a 20-inche screen to be the secondary screen for my laptop. The reason is that I need to stare the computer screen very often for study purpose. I asked my mom to mail me the keyboard and the mouse, which I left in Taiwan so I can use my laptop as a desktop computer. That is also the way I use computer at home. Here's the picture shows how I place those stuff.

    After Apple Inc. releasing their one of the new products, Mac mini, on Oct 20th, I couldn't kept my eyes off of this "faster processor, twice the memory" desktop computer, especially we students can take it home with educational price, which is $50 off from the original one. For me, this white and tiny desktop is not only the product that I want, but also the product that I need to improve my efficiency on my work.

    I'm one of Apple Inc.'s fans, and I love the way they design their products. They always make their electronic products look like artifacts, not just cold and metaled electric equipments. They produce the most energy-efficient computers and many handy devices, such as high capacity iPod, the thinnest laptop, and iPhone, which is the most popular cell phone in the world.

    Before clicking on the "purchase" button, I considered that I need a desktop to be the perfect match with my 20-inch screen, mouse, and keyboard. In addition, I often contribute my essay or paper on my bed, which is the most comfortable place for me gathering ideas. As a result, I wanted to remove the laptop from my desk, and I'll only use it at outside or anywhere else except on the desk.

    The new Mac mini was delivered by FedEx and it arrived today in a small box.

                            

    It is even smaller than the box as shown.

                            

    This is all the content in the package, including OS disk, installation disk, and mini display port to DVI adapter. What amazed me is the power adapter, because it's the second largest item among them, looks like a white brick.

    This is the last day for you being a desktop, MacBook.

                          

    After everything has settled, my desk looks exactly what I wanted to be. Now I can put my speaker on the place where the MacBook used placed.

                          

    Now I'm pretty enjoy the feature of my new desktop computer. It beautifies my desk and I can easily take it home when I finish the graduate program. Thanks for reading this post.
