my beloved notebook (Samsung X30, maybe the most beautiful notebook ever built) died yesterday after 3 years of heavy duty. kind of a melt down, blank screen showing garbage when powered up.
I was really seriously pis*ed, because I really liked it, it was almost perfect and is still superior compared to all the other junk notebooks (although it was quite pricey, but worth every cent).
samsung notebooks aren’t available in the states and the only other notebook that comes close is a Macbook Pro. luckily draftFCB employees get 8% discount in the apple shop, which IS quite some money if the notebook is $3000. which it is. unfortunately. (personal note: there is no such thing as too much salary).
next problem: I (obviously) want this notebook as soon as possible, but I need an upgraded¬† version (bigger harddisk). after configuration in the online shop it says shipping is delayed by 3 days due to harddrive upgrade. so I thought MAYBE the apple flagship store can just swap in another harddisk if I buy it there. and surprise surprise, they can’t. they have to send the notebook in to get the harddisk changed (WTF?). so I spend almost 3 hours by walking around, looking in computer shops for comparable notebooks (no, nothing found) and other stuff. well, at least I got a new cap and saw some park avenue princesses :D.
so my blog activities will be a little bit reduced until my macbook arrives.
