OK, I can’t resist the irony. I could have brought a much more professional boring looking mouse to go with the black monster, but I refuse to.
Teehee..he… 
– Do you like my pink lil mouse?
My work just bought us new laptops, IBM ThinkPad T510. However, when I first saw them.. I was offended by their’s sheer ugliness. I know.. I am being vain. But hey, I am a designer and a girl to boot. I like something pretty and I feel inspired when working on something pretty.
When I was at the Qantas Lounge yesterday, I was actually embarrassed being surrounded by prettier laptops (think Macbook Pro, Sony Vaio, Coloured Dell Studio, etc). What can I say… the black laptop does not quite match my pink cardigan.
Since this is one of IBM’s high-end ThinkPad laptop, I was hoping that IBM would up their ante on the design department. However, I think they are exclusively catering for the Corporate World – hence the boring design.
Having said that, I am quite happy with the performance of the laptop. It loads fast and it runs well even with Adobe CS5, Office and the usual junk installed.
