Today I wanted to update you on some desk changes I’ve made as well as introduce you to the new Intel Dell XPS. Dell really hit the mark with this lightweight, 11 inch laptop that rivals the MAC Book Air. Oh, and it’s got the new Windows Operating System which means it’s touch screen! <squeal>. We all know first impressions are huge and this laptop really nailed it out of the box. I don’t know why, but I was expecting something bulky- but it was sleek and extremely quick to boot thanks to its Intel® Rapid Start Technology.
I’ve always used a Mac Book Pro which I purchased in Graduate school. Over the past few years, it’s getting slightly dated and slow, so while I consider myself a Mac girl, I was surprised how much I loved the Dell XPS right out of the <adorable>. For one, the battery life is amazing running for 11 hours without needing a recharge. This point alone is a huge plus for me, considering I am always dragging my laptop around the house to blog.

I plan to update you again as I continue to use the Dell XPS’s features and compare it to our Mac Products and my Toshiba work computer. I have a feeling it’s going to hold up really well. Aaron and I work a lot together at our dining room table and it’s funny to compare what our machines can or can not do since he has a Mac Book Air. In all honesty though, I’ve found 7/10 times, I actually have more features than he does….hello touch screen!
Lastly, Can we talk about how adorable these Lara Casey notepads are? I feel so empowered while writing on them! haha But here is a true story- these adorable note pads showed up for me one day. I have no idea if they were a gift from a friend, from the store, or if maybe I purchased them after too much wine one night? Regardless, I love them and they are the perfect size for note taking, list making or documenting to my husband the awesome things my PC can do that his Mac can’t. :0) I have linked desk resources above and below, but if you see anything you’re curious about, please ask! I just wanted to share some of the little updates I’ve made lately to make this space feel more fun- I mean, who doesn’t love a brass mini pineapple?!
Thanks for reading friends!

This is so great! I have been wanting a new laptop but with so much technology out there I wasn't sure I could get all I need/want for under $1k! Your review had me checking out their page and was shocked to see how little they are asking for this laptop.

Oh that sounds like a great computer! I really like the idea of a touch screen function.

Nice! I will keep this in mind when I need a new laptop. I love my Sony Vaio, but it's kind of heavy.
I love this! I've never had a Mac but I kind if thought about maybe getting one recently. I've always been a windows girl though so I've held off! I'm super intrigued to look into Dell's range now! Mum has always used Dell and loves her computer! X Carly
