Day 3025 - The Lovin Life Linky - New Laptop Edition

Let me introduce you to Harvey

Right now I am lovin' my new lappie.  In fact, I cannot get enough of it him.  It He is light, fits into a handbag, has a touch screen and enough battery power to last an entire day (and then some).

Say hello to Harvey.

"Hello Harvey!"

(Hello readers).

Harvey is my brand spanking new HP Spectre.


Now I know what it's like to be truly mobile!  I mean, I have written about my mobile office before but previously it came with an extra 10kgs of stuff in a wheelie suitcase that required a power point.  Not so bad when you're travelling through airports, but it starts to get a bit cumbersome when you're walking the streets of Sydney.

I became the expert of finding free eatery seating near power points (the new food court at Broadway Shopping Centre has a row of tables next to pylons with power points) or tracking down public libraries (although the hills can get pretty steep around Ultimo when a 10kg suitcase is being dragged behind you).

Nope, not on holidays. It's just me and my old laptop trying to find somewhere to do some work. 

It's not that I don't respect my old bulky lappie.  It served me well and every single one of my books was written on the old beast.  But it was a relic that could never actually sit on my lap because the moment you touched it, it would shut down (thus the need for the external keyboard and mouse).

So you can imagine how thrilled I am to have Harvey in my life.  To be able to pick up my computer and carry it him under my arm, in my hand, or in my tote without breaking a sweat.

Harvey is so wonderful that he comes to McDonalds with me for an iced latte.  He sits with me in the car on the edge of a soccer field.  He attends client sessions and also hangs out in bed with me of a lazy Sunday (totally platonic of course).

The best part about Harvey is that he isn't "touchy" or precious.  He won't shut down and refuse to interact with me the moment I press one of his buttons. He's got heaps of energy.  Plus when I wake him up of a morning he remembers who I am. 

Say my name Harvey! Say my name! Yep, that's my name.

If I don't feel like pressing his buttons anymore I can just flip him over. He lets me touch him - all of him.  Who knew having a touch screen with a special Active Pen could be so much fun?  I mean, I can actually draw on my laptop! Sometimes I even cover him with sticky notes and he doesn't complain.

With the electronic pen you can access Windows Ink Functions like Sticky Notes, Sketch Pad and Screen Sketch

And that's what I love about Harvey.

Harvey Spectre is what I'm lovin' about life this week.



Do you name your devices?
