Thank you all for your input on our laptop dilemma. For those of you just tuning in, about a month ago, we hosted a party (see that scoop here). At this lovely little soiree, a guest accidentally poured her entire beer into our computer (see that total panic attack here).
We have been borrowing our nephew’s notebook (it was seriously like a 6 inch screen) perfect for a little boy. But for my clumsy hands, not so much. Finally, we both said enough is enough.
We have been debating a mac vs pc for over a month now. We both agreed that the mac is cooler, the price tag that came with the model we’d need wasn’t a good match for us.
Yesterday, we hit up BestBuy. We ended up leaving with a sleek black 15.5″ Sony VAIO. Its über fast & compared to the mini screen we were using, it feels like a big screen TV!
Hopefully very soon, I will get the nerve to buy a new camera!!!

Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Thanks Vix!
Pearl's twirl says
are you going to bedazzle it like the first one?
BTW congrats on another FP!!
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Thanks!!! No bedazzling this one! I have to pretend I’m a grown-up now! LOL!
Lauren says
Good choice. I LOVE my vaio– I’ve always said it’s the perfect blend of all things good from PC and Mac :).
Your blog is fun! I’m a newlywed, too, and I’ve been holding off updating our dining room furniture the way your recent Freshly Pressed article mentions. Thanks for demystifying the process!
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Congrats on the marriage! It does remind me of a blend between a mac & a pc. I love the snippet tool & the sticky notes!
Yahpee says
Congrats on the new buy. I have my eye on a new macbook!
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Macs are so sleek! Macbook pro was our 1st choice, but it was a bit out of our price range. Next time!

I would just DIE if this happened! I’m rather dependent on my laptop and also got a new one yesterday. I’m looking forward to “moving in”.
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Luckily, the staff at Best Buy were able to salvage the contents of our hard drive (photos, music, etc.) so I am much more relieved than I was before!

Oh Sony is a good choice. Most of the Sony owners I know love their computers. I need a new camera too, I want something that gives me more control.
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
I need a wide angle lens and better quality pictures in general. So far, I’m lovin the VAIO.
Alicia@ eco friendly homemaking says
Congratulations on your new computer. It looks awesome.
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Thank you Alicia! We were way overdue!

I have a VAIO, and I have had compliments on it it. Sorry about the old computer, though.
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
As long as we retrieved our music, photos & videos, I’m okay with it all.
Tien says
Vaio, nice!!
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Yea, we are really happy with it. I am obsessed with the “snippet tool”!! It is a screen capture button. I am in love!
