Finally, after many frustrating attempts to complete some graphically intense projects, Sylvia got her new 13 inch MacBook Pro. Her old, refurbished iMac crashed and rebooted one too many times, usually just before she saved her work. And today it came to a head.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo and I visited a local Apple Store to pick up the new computer as well as a couple of other minor items. While he purchased her device I had time to play with the brand new MacBook Pro<\/a> with Retina Display. What a thing of beauty. My webpage<\/a> and this blog never looked so good.<\/p>\n

Since the 13 inch screen is a bit smaller than what Sylvia is used to, we drove over to a nearby Best Buy to also pick up an external, secondary monitor for her. After carefully scrutinizing the colors and sharpness of many screens we both decided and agreed that specific a 24 inch made by Dell looked the best and had the best specs for the price.<\/p>\n

Once back at their house Rodrigo set up her computer and monitor while I helped her with one of her graphic projects. Unfortunately the Dell monitor may be going back because it just did not look as good at their house as it did displaying visuals at the store.
