After some random thinking and last minute decision, I finally jumped onto the big-LCD-display-connected-to-Macbook bandwagon. Yes, a lot of people do this kind of thing. I’ve been considering this because I don’t want to ruin the whiteness of my Macbook. Plus, it is time for bigger display, don’t you think? It was really random, seriously. Thanks to PC Fair Penang, I made the most expensive last-minute decision in my life, so far. I’m feeling guilty.

Most of my friends knew that I’m not really a desktop kind of person – I’m always into laptop (but not netbook, they sucks). So, for me to buy this desktop-ish stuff is rather… weird. By the way, this is just a regular 21.5″ LCD display, by a brand I’ve never heard of. It had me at its beautifully simple design. (Update: The exact model of the monitor)

Wow I’m changing into a new person already. Photos!

This (very cheap) keyboard looks physically Apple-ish, except for being black (they have white color too, though). (Update: the keyboard brand is sensonic)  It is pretty cool, although I have to deal with different key strokes on some shortcuts and stuff – will probably buy a real Apple keyboard later on. Now someone should get me a Magic Mouse already.

Don’t blame me if my next website redesign requires a minimum of 1920 x 1080px resolution. I’m giving an early warning here :P

    @redblaque: haha yeah. the old n70. hey it doesn’t sucks ok. but qwerty keypad is so cool :)
    @blank172: saje nak buat surprise. heh. overall around RM600+ kot including keyboard, Apple’s miniDVI-to-VGA cable and stuff. yeah nanti kat UTP aku nak buat extended displays. kat sini tak muat meja. haha

  11. Weh tak beli tablet ke? murah tu. item should buy tu. boost design ability. aku tak dapat la nk pg pc fair. dah saving duit.

  12. flisterz - 05 Dec 2009

    Aku expect ko nak beli. aku tak memerlukan benda camtu. tangan keras. haha. Dehaq ade beli, so aku main2 die punye dulu ah. susah oh.

  13. For those who in doubt with “AOC”, AOC ni dah banyak sponsor gaming competition. Its quality is same with Samsung if not better.

    Just forget about LG, BenQ, Dell and other brand. They sucks btw. I myself own a BenQ.

    LCD design nampak cun dan sexy. Haha

  14. flisterz - 06 Dec 2009

    see, I bought the best brand, without even knowing about it in the first place. cool! :D

  15. Ah jeles jeles jeles.

    Keyboard itu amat seksi. Nanti nak beli yang tu jugak la, nak tiru flisterz, hahaha X_X

  16. haha . i buy dell 24′ last two month connected to my mbp . =)

    working with a bigger screen with OSX is so damn cool. hee.

  17. @izuddin.helmi why benQ suck dude? I use benQ so far ok je (I like its simple design : P). maybe tak cukup geek nk detect the fault.

  18. pergh. tak nak tolak macbook ke? haha

  20. flisterz - 06 Dec 2009

    @asx: it is! but 24 is too big for my liking. buta mata. heh
    @zuriani: aku beli monitor je la yan. kalau aku jual macbook, nak pasang ape? haha. dah lame weh gravatar tu. nak tukar lain ah. damn u

  21. I want the keyboard…

  23. flisterz - 08 Dec 2009

    @afidz: if u read the post, I’m using a Macbook. So, not a hackintosh ;)

  24. myxery™ - 08 Dec 2009

    i beg to differ with izuddin.helmi, been using Dell for more than a year, it’s fabulous monitor with HDMI port,

  25. huhu. selamat datang ke dunia Extended Monitor / Bigger display. 1680×1050 sungguh terasa luasnya. hehe.

    keyboard tu, lawa. serious. suke :) aku map balik Win key jadi Alt and Alt jadi Command. Kemudian, semua F1-F12 jadi mcm laptop. Siap Play, Prev, Next and expose. semua lah senang. hehe.

    suke guke keyboard, tak kotorkan lappy. LOL.

  26. pergh lawa bro effect…

  27. mengikut firasat aku, macbook tu akan nampak lebih kacak kalau letak atas BookArc. ;D
