trinityvixenLisa's work-friend Hannah came by with her new MacBookPro the other day and I was inspired with envy upon seeing the thing--it's narrow, brushed metal beautiful, with fun features to play with (which ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
feiran did to hilarious extent). It seemed to have better things everywhere than mine--better memory, built-in camera, light-up keyboard--and I could barely console myself that it was twice as expensive and tended to get really hot (which it did, rapidly, while feiran played around with it).
But now mine is here! And it is sooooooo pretty! It's also lighter than Hannah's MacBookPro for certain, it has a whole bunch of media buttons (which is not remote control option like Hannah's, but is pretty cool), and the cherry-colored cover is very pretty in its own right.
Before the ritual first turning-on of the computer, I have to name the new baby. The first name that came to me was "Ambrosia." I don't know why that, but that's what I thought of. It might be homophonic dissonance or something, where "Ambrosia" sounded like a color the cover reminded me of or something...
One thing I know for sure: my owner account for XP will definitely be "Yellow Valkyrie" because I wasn't able to have it for my Animal Crossing name (and I still giggle madly at the very thought of XP loading and saying WELCOME and having YELLOW VALKYRIE pop up.
