Laughing Means A Lot To Me

Chinese saying, "Better work needs better tools". That's a good excuse for me to upgrade my equipment. Including the MacBook, the brand new DELL U2410f, and the DXRACER LCD/laptop stand. All above are installed on my desk in office.Colleagues thought I'm crazy: A geek who use his own equipments to work for company, and the equipments cost nearly 20,000RMB. I'm thinking in another way, the powerful computer and large LCD make me work more efficiently. And they make me feel happy when working. Compare with that, money is nothing. Like my blog title said, laughing means more to me.

The LCD stand arrived today. I had to go to the logistic center in downtown to pick it up by myself. It needed 10 minutes riding to get there. The toughest part was carrying it back. Without a shelf on my bike, the 8KG box left a strip of bloodstain on my shoulder.

6 years later, I finally got my new large screen LCD. Costs less, but much lager (17" vs 24").

Dell U2410, what I like most, is the OSD design.  5 buttons with touch sensor and blue LED, when moving fingers over it, the LED turns on automatically. Touch it slightly, the other 4 button LED turn on and the menu appears just next to them. With so detailed settings, U2410 meets all my needs.

I've been thinking of buying a new LCD from last Oct. When doing the coding and designing work, the old pal Maya 17" was not large enough to show so many windows I opened. And it was too dark to watch movies. After all, it's been worked for me for 6 years. 2408WFP was my target at that time. Just one thing: it exceeded my budget. Then I waited and waited. So many times, I would like to step back and get the 22" model, with was so hot and popular too, 2209WA. What a coincidence, 2 days before I making the decision, Hei told me a new model released. This is it. Another dream comes true story.
