To Mac or Not to Mac?

Wow, seems like a selfish thought for a new mom who is about to give birth. 

But hear me out, yo.

This post is my attempt to justify weigh in the pros and cons of switching to Mac. Fellow freelancers have sworn their productivity has increased by 100% when they made the switch.

See, my Asus computer has almost died on me a couple of times, and I, too, could almost die when that happens.

I break out in cold sweat, thinking how the belle am I to move on with my life without a laptop.

Freelancing is my business and without my laptop, I'm going to be broke—and crazy!

So far, it has:

• Booted for an hour or so that I thought it's never going to power up
• Prompted that something's broken and it needs to recover something
• Lags for forever whenever an image is not completely saved or downloaded (have to wait for like 30 minutes to delete it)
• Lags when I leave it with the Upwork tracker on
• Eats up 100% of disk space(!)
• Dies when I don't plug it in (battery's been broken for months)

• q ---> q1
• w ---> w2
• e ---> e3
• y ---> y6
• u ---> u7
• i ---> i8
• o ---> o9
• p ---> p0
• end ---> +
• Page Down ---> 9

I can't afford to not to work because I have a little one coming in a few weeks (and we're still a bit far from the baby fund stretch goal, which is 100% of our initial goal, lols).

And I was also forward-thinking. I know I'll be multi-tasking in the upcoming months. The hilarious parenting posts illustrate how different (and effing hard) life is with a baby.

*gulp*

So, how can I manage with a sensitive laptop.

I posted this on my FB diary page.


And so far, friends are recommending me to go Mac...

Pros of owning a Mac

Guess I'll have my answer pretty soon.
