I Bought a MacBook Pro 13-inch w/Touch Bar From Blogging On Steemit! Thank You Steemit Community For This Gift!
2 days ago
firepower67 in life
I bought a new MacBook Pro 13" w/Touch bar few days ago. It's an incredible piece of hardware and I've been using it a little every day as I make a transition over from Windows 7 to iOS. My full-time participation on Steemit has allowed me to add value to the network and in return the network has helped improve my life so much!
It's so incredible to think that I can earn an income and use it to elevate my life to the next level by simply participating on a blockchain powered social media platform such as Steemit. Our community here decides what is best for it and I'm glad to see the incredible support on my work. It feels like all of you came together to give me this wonderful gift! Thank You!
Unboxing and I can't stop smiling!
I wrote about how I worked hard over the past year with a low-cost Windows based laptop, and I've been in need of an upgrade for a long time. I'm starting on some exciting new projects and felt I could do more if I had a better hardware to support my needs.
After discussions with my friend @droidsid it seemed like a good idea to invest in a MacBook Pro and the 13" seemed perfect for my needs. We went to the store and tested out the 2016 gen MacBook Pros. They were all great, since I have an issue with my hand, I opted for the Touch Bar version which does some interesting things and can reduce inputs from my right hand, which was something I was considering.
The price difference was approximatel $250 for Non-Touch Bar vs Touch Bar, with the latter having better specifications including the larger storage capacity, better graphics and processor in addition to the touch bar and fingerprint sensor.
Overall it was a great experience to be able to buy something so expensive in comparison to my $300 laptop but the lightweight and compact nature of it makes it easier to travel with. It also offers better security compared to malware-friendly Windows OS and is blazingly fast!
I can smell some Steem on my Mac! Whoop Whoop!
I can't say I'm a iOS convert just yet as I'm still discovering the nuances of the iOS which is something totally new to me. I never though of making this shift if not for a new project that needed an iOS and I felt overall it made a good business decision as well.
Can you see my happy face? haha!
Steemit has been an incredible gift in my life and I'm glad to have your kind support and encouragement on my posts. This is how I've managed to get so far and I hope you will continue to support my work on Steemit.
I'm a happy Apple user now, and I love free stickers!
I'll write a short review and comparison between the 2016 vs 2017 version soon enough! Stay tuned!
Thank you for your attention and feedback on my posts!
