Hi mention Macbook

I accidentally bought an apple a year

Small screen phones are becoming less and less common. When the iPhone 12 mini was launched, I was already eyeing it. A year later, the 13 mini came, and I haven't changed my phone yet. It's not so easy to get started because the current mobile phone can still be used, and the red rice is used. To be honest, it is very durable. I deceived myself, in order to let it go back to the west as soon as possible, I removed the phone case and explosion-proof film, on the one hand, I have not experienced bare metal. The bare machine feels good, the body is smaller, although there are some scratches and floor marks, I don't mind.


My previous laptop was really stuck, sometimes I forgot why I turned it on. If there is an online class, I have to turn on my laptop at least 15 minutes earlier. It takes time to wait for windows login, it takes time to connect to the Internet, and it also takes time to open the video conferencing software/website for online classes.

When writing a graduation thesis, it takes 5 minutes to open words, and excel takes longer. It takes several seconds to transfer from one sheet to another.

Very test of patience, especially it is so heavy, cry.

Finally, the laptop passed away during my internship. If I turned it on, it was in safe mode, so I couldn't access the Internet. So I borrowed a friend's laptop to write reports and log. I'm really grateful to my friends who are willing to take turns lending me my laptop and providing the internet.

When I got home, I backed up my data and waited for the new laptop to arrive.


I thought about it before buying a MacBook. After all, it's not cheap. I usually feel guilty when I buy something very expensive, and I honestly feel that I don't deserve the price. The phenomenon of iQiyi after buying.

As a student party, after equipping the iPad with an Apple pencil, there are many things that can be done. I use it to write notes and diaries, draw pictures, read e-books, and make wallets, which saves a lot of notebooks and is much more convenient when moving. I have considered getting the whole family of Apple buckets together, but Apple products have never been cheap, so I still can't buy them happily.

Another thing that stopped me was the difference between macOS and wins. I thought back to what software I used when I did my dissertation. I do use some very unpopular software, but they are all on the tutor's computer. My own computer just uses Microsoft's words, PowerPoint, and excel. So I was ruthless, and I decided it was the MacBook.

Learning a new system isn't a problem for me, I spend a lot of money just to get away from the lag on my laptop. The MacBook is also very durable, and some people can use it for 10 years by surfing the Internet. If there is nothing wrong with it, I will not think about replacing it.

I think Apple products are very elegant. The official website is also very elegant, and I like the way their products are presented on the screen.


My mother said she could help me out with the money for the laptop. After I made an offer, she was quite surprised and said why do you use such expensive things?

She later called her eldest son to talk about it. She was worried that I was spending money.

My good brother said, MacBook is good, but the price is not good.

Later, she sponsored 75% of my money, and the rest was in my savings, which is appreciated by a 23-year-old who still has zero income.

This time I placed an order on the official website, and the last time I also bought it online, at shopee. My friends think I'm brave enough to buy everything online. My mobile phone, ipad, and MacBook are all purchased online, and there is no accident. It's ok. The main reason for buying on the official website is that there are educational discounts. I can save hundreds of ringgits, which is probably my living expenses for more than half a month.


After a week of waiting, the laptop arrived! Two days earlier than expected on the official website, Haohaisen, I really hope that such surprises will appear in my life every day.

I bought the minimum Macbook Air M1, 8GB RAM + 256GB, dark grey.

I was super happy that day, but it was the first MacBook. No one taught me anything, so I asked Brother Gu if I didn’t know it. The research was a bit difficult, and I went to bed early that night.


Let’s talk about the first feeling of getting the laptop:

  1. very cool. This laptop doesn't have a fan, so heat conduction needs to be done well. It's really cold, and when I put my hands on it, the surrounding surface will fog up.
  2. Boot up super fast. It is said that when not in use, the screen can be closed. Just lift the screen and start working.
  3. The screen is the same color from any angle. I don't know how to describe this discovery, there should be a proper noun. My previous laptop was at the wrong screen angle, and the picture I saw would be very dark or very shallow.
  4. The battery is durable.
  5. Only type C jack, you have to buy an extension to connect to USB.
  6. Fortunately, there is a headphone jack. Not forcing everyone to buy bluetooth headphones.

Now I'm writing this article with my new laptop, and I'm in a good mood.

The break-in process was also enjoyable.

The next day, my mentor contacted me and said that they could start paying me a salary and let me work. It's a great feeling to find yourself at the right time and place. To be honest, I didn’t expect my supervisor would ask me to start work so early. I would be fine with WFH, so I always felt very happy, hehehe.
