This is my CES 2012 headquarters.

There are 3 laptops (one with Ustream running cnet & TWIT live streaming, iPad with the CES app running and my iMac where I’m reading posts and blogging.)

Are you following the CES 2012 news?

The one on the left is my BIG 27″ i7 iMac and the one on the right is my old 24″ iMac. Big difference in size and power. I love Apple!

Here are the changes I noticed:

Hard drive free space -I didn’t take note on my Macbook, but on my iMac, I gained about 15 GB of space on my hard drive. That alone, made the upgrade worth it.

Speed – I noticed a difference in the speed of everything on my computer. My mail, calendar and address book opened faster. Firefox seems to be running faster.

Restart – Definitely faster

Finder – You can change the size of the icons in the finder and get a large preview of the document/picture without opening it up. This makes it a lot easier to find that one document or picture you are looking for. That is the control in the lower right hand corner (inside orange circle) that you slide to control the icon size.

This is the view of the finder in the pictures folder on the largest icon setting.

And this is the Documents folder on the largest icon setting. It will be much easier to find the pdf or Word documents I need now.

Dock – The orange arrow is pointing to the scroll bar that now appears when you open  the Applications or Documents folder in the Dock. Now you don’t have to click on the Arrow that opens the Finder window to find the apps that start with a ‘Z’.

None of these changes are earth shattering, but they have made my life a tad easier and that is worth the $49 upgrade for both my Desktop and Laptop.
