My Favourite Piece of Technology

My favourite piece of technology is my macbook. I got it in February 2011 at an Airport duty-free shop in New Zealand (I'd been on holiday visiting my brother who lives in Paekakariki near Wellington). At first I thought it was a bit extravagant to buy it because I have a PC but my wife encouraged me to get it. She always tells me that I should spoil myself every now and then.
I use it for making music and videos. The only 2 programmes I use are Garageband, for mixing audio, and imovie, for editing video. I often combine the two programmes and publish my creations on my Vimeo page.
I use the macbook about once a month during term-time because I don't have much free time. If I start creating something I can easily spend 8 hours a day working on it so I need to have all my other work done before I can dedicate time to this hobby.
I guess I like the macbook because it is so easy to use. I managed to create a song the first time I used the mac without even having to read the instructions. If you know a little about audio or video then the programmes are very logical to use.
Life would be very strange without my macbook. I could still do the same things on my PC with other programmes but the mac just feels like a more sophisticated and classy machine. I think I would take longer to compose and create on a different machine. The model I have has been discontinued now but I hope to use it for a number of years as I don't need a more powerful machine ....... yet!
