Well here it is...the current object of my obsession, the the new MacBook Pro 15" notebook. This is truly a "dream machine" and with all of the bells and whistles that have come to be expected of Apple's line of super notebook computers. The MacBook comes in two screen presentations glossy and matte. I really prefer the glossy because it makes pictures and websites pop out and look sharp! Addtionally the new aluminum uni-body frame structure it is much sturdier than other notebooks in its class that are made of mostly polycarbonate parts. Starting at around $2,000 the Macbook Pro is not inexpensive which is the main reason I still don't have one! But that hasn't stopped me from countless trips to the Apple store. I'm keeping hope alive...

I have to say that as far as external hard drives go this has to be the coolest I've come across so far! The Free Agent Go 250 GB is an amazing slim-line version of the old fashioned external hard drive enclosures easily recognized by their brick-like "boxy" appearance. With the Free Agent Go series, Seagate introduces it's top-of-the-line class of storage devices designed with folks who want to bring their data with them in mind. The Free Agent Go is thinner than a deck of cards and can easily fit in a laptop bag. For a few dollars more you can pick up a custom leather sleeve and and a docking cradle. I've been chomping at the bit to load my music and picture collection on to it, but have yet to get started on that project! I'm in the process of upgrading my home PC so it may be a while before I get to that. But I digress :-)...Retailing for $79.00 bones is not bad deal but as luck and the Slick Deal gods would have it, I was able to pick this little Slim Jim up for a cool $30.00 at my local B&M Office Depot. Ordered it online and chose in-store-pick up and saved some cash on the shipping to boot! All-in-all a sweet deal! http://freeagent.seagate.com/en-us/hard-drive/Free-Agent.html
