MB470LL/A - Apple MacBook Pro 15.4 Inch Laptop

Gadgets. We all love 'em, not just the boys! If you really want to wow your girl, get rid of her outdated PC and introduce her to the world of Apple with the MB470LL/A MacBook Pro laptop. You'll see why the MB470LL/A MacBook Pro is the no. 1 laptop I would recommend, and how easy it is to switch from a PC. Getting your girlfriend a laptop is like buying her a really, really fun tool, and shows her how special she really is.


First, let's talk about the aesthetic features of this laptop. The MB470LL/A model has a 15.4 inch screen, which I believe to be not too small, but not too big either (remember that the 17 inch version will be heavier and more expensive). The Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M graphics card offers the faster graphics MacBooks have ever had. It gives you beautiful resolution, and is 30% faster than its predecessor. And this graphics card is only available in the 15 and 17 inch MacBooks, yet another reason to upgrade from the 13 inch. The new glass trackpad eliminates the use for a button, is 40% larger, and features new Multi-Touch gestures. Finally, the OS X Snow Leopard is without a doubt the best operating system out there. It's faster, easier, and more fun to use. It incorporates technologies that blow the competition out of the park. Finally, the LED backlit display makes watching movies and every day tasks the most pleasant thing you'll do during the day. Simply put, the MacBook Pro is hotter, sleeker, and more modern than anything else on the market.


So why go for the Pro instead of the regular MacBook? Let's talk about the functionality of this machine, and why it's worth investing in the step up to the Pro. First of all, the MacBook Pro is made from a unibody enclosure, meaning it's machined from single piece of aluminum. This makes the computer more sturdy and durable; the MacBook, however, is made of polycarbonate. The MacBook Pro processor is one of the fastest on the market, and by far outperforms the MacBook's. It also has much faster graphics. This model in particular has a 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, which is excellent when using loads of programs in conjunction. Unless your girlfriend is a gamer, investing in the 2.66 GHz processor just isn't worth it. Finally, the MacBook Pro has a longer battery life than any PC on the market, doesn't heat up, and is quiet. The MB470LL/A MacBook Pro is a fun, gorgeous, and easy super-machine.

You want to make her happy on that special occasion this year? Get her the MB470LL/A MacBook Pro for it's power, functionality, and ease-of-use. Seriously, she'll be squeeling up and down like a 10 year old girl the minute she sees that gorgeous apple. And don't worry about her having difficulties making the switch from a PC; Apple offers online and in-store support to all it's users.

Chanel Spring 2010 Clogs

New newest shoe craze is here. In its Spring 2010 collection, Chanel re-introduced the clog, a traditionally clunky and chunky dancing shoe with Dutch roots. This new shoe style is bold, beautiful, and is even sexy! But beware, gentlemen. These shoes are not for the shy, classic girl. A clog-lover will be an extravagant diva who loves to be the center of attention. If you read your girlfriend right, you might just hit the mark with these shoes, and score yourself a year's worth of boys' night out permission slips.

They've been praised by Vogue Magazine and seen worn by celebrity Alexa Chung, but Chanel Clogs 2010 have caused a lot of controversy in the fashion world (as do all daring trends). It's just like most bold styles - you either love it or you hate it. If your budget doesn't allow for this Chanel investment, I would move on to another gift idea. Don't bother if it's not the real thing! Imitations can be tacky and lose the chicness that Chanel brings to the table.

A tip for men who are unsure of their girls' fashion preferences: casually mention that you saw a girl on the street wearing clogs. Show her a picture of the Chanels if she's never seen them, and gauge her reaction. An oooh and an ahhh of wonderlust means a green light! Otherwise, she will reject them outright. There's not in between here; like I said, she will either love them or hate them. And if it's love, then you've just found the most perfect gift ever.
