Are you shiny on the outside, brilliant on the inside? Then you’re just like a Vaio laptop with an Intel core! How so? Read on!
A modern woman has a lot in common with a good laptop. We’re all made a little different — some are a little big heavy, some are shiny on the outside, and yet others are ultrathin. But we are all united by a few great features:
1. Women and laptops are built for multitasking.
Even the most basic laptop can do at least two tasks at the same time (MSN chat and email or Microsoft Office, for instance). But many women reading this story are super multi-taskers. It’s par for the course for you to be a mother, work fulltime or part time, keep your house in order (make marketing decisions, instruct your domestic helpers), be a listening ear to your friends, chauffeur your offspring/husband/parents everywhere, plan the family vacation … need we go on? It is a fact that women have better left brain-right brain connectivity, which means we can watch TV while working on a spreadsheet and talking to our kids on the mobile, at the same time.
Likewise, a great laptop is one that can run multiple programmes at a go — write an article, check your email, chat online, touch up a photo you’re going to post in your blog, and listen to Michael Jackson while you’re doing all of the above. And if your lappie has an Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor you can do it all with speed and smoothness.
(We think all Nanz Inc readers run on Intel® Core™2 Duo Processors.)
2. Women and laptops look good on the outside.
Rounded corners, shiny exteriors, curves in all the right places. True – not every laptop is built like a beauty queen but Sony VAIO consistently produces great beauties. Looks matter and Sony knows it. Hence the pretty exterior of the new compact VAIO CW — the perfect Web companion with easy connectivity and a high-resolution LCD screen that gives you sharper images. Women and VAIOs are meant to be shown off!
3. Women and laptops love to network.
Women are made special — we just love to make friends. Even girl babies have been observed to connect to other babies more instinctively than boy babies. Women are social creatures that believe in the benefit of helping and supporting other women to get things done. In business, women network and alliances are usually very quickly formed. A good example is the website BlogHer.com, which unites women bloggers from the world over. There is no BlogHim.com (of course, BlogHer has been mercilessly ribbed by men). Laptops, too, love to network. How often do you go to a café with free Wi-Fi and notice 15 other laptops ready to network with yours?
There are many other traits shared by women and laptops (like, we constantly need to be recharged). Can you think of a few? Leave a comment — we’d love to hear your witty ideas!
