Title: My new work computer
Post by: ignom on August 22, 2005, 08:54:12 AM
In a few minutes, I will be hooking up a Mac Mini.

I hope these little things are worthwhile. It's about the size of a ham sandwich.

I'm thinking of getting one.  For research purposes and stuff.  The new mouse that Apple is releasing is pretty cool, too.

Okay?  Let me ask this, if you still need a keyboard, moniter, mouse and other peripheries, why buy one of those instead of investing in a laptop?  I don't see the advantage other than price but you're giving up a lot in exchange for portability and compactness.  What am I not seeing that's the big benefit?

It's for work, so they probably like him to have a desktop just because.  Plus, his boss is old and stupid.

The boss had no say in what we bought. It was my idea.

The Mac Mini is cheaper than an iMac or even an eMac. And I don't need anything super hi-tech and expensive. So we thought it would be neat to buy one.

Sorry, ignom's the stupid one.

Just kidding.

My job would have no need for a laptop, and I'm assuming that to be true of his as well.  I'm intrigued by that tiny little thing.  You should bring it with you next time you come here.

All I've used at work for the last 5 years is a laptop.  I don't travel much any more, so it really makes no sense.
Title: Re: My new work computer
Post by: ignom on August 22, 2005, 10:28:29 AM
I use a laptop all night at home. If I had to use one all day as well, I'd have a constant headache.

It's plugged into a docking station, and I have a normal monitor and keyboard.

Three people here use laptops with normal keyboards and mouses, but the lame little laptop screen.  Except one of the laptops has a 15" screen, so it's a wee bit less lame.  But still lame.

I wouldn't want to use a laptop.

It can do everything a desktop can do, with the added bonus of me being able to pick it up and take it into a meeting with me.  It isn't a bad setup.
Title: Re: My new work computer

I'd want to use a laptop, if I could work from somewhere else.

Good points, both of you.

I wouldn't mind it if I had a normal mouse, monitor, and keyboard most of the time.

The main thing I hate about my laptop is when the battery says it's fully charged and then dies five minutes later while I'm trying to burn a CD.

If i didnt spend so much computer trying new programs, trying new settings, adding new components for upgrade or whatever and wanted a pc that will work consitantly and everything i start it only using a small selection of programs, i would probably get one of those.    Apple always breaks the mold when it comes to computer design.

anyone can see that it's the exact size of a ham sandwich. in fact, it's exactly the size of my lunch ham sandwich that i ate for breakfast.

plus, you can see it's the size of a ham sandwich and yet you have caved in to the conformity of calling it the mac mini. which in fact seems stolen from the mini cooper.

does this mean everything in our society is going to be megaminisized now? instead of those 1 gallon convenience store travel cups, you can only get a demi-tasse?
