You know that scene in
Legally Blonde where Elle Woods pulls out her tangerine Apple iBook (remember those?) amidst a sea of serious-looking black PC laptops, and you’re supposed to laugh at her helpless incongruity?

I’ll never understand, just like I can’t bear the thought of lugging around my current boring-yet-reliable laptop case now that I know
this neon number is in existence. I’ll consider it part of my back-to-school overhaul shopping. And yes, I fully realize that I’m not
actually going back to school come September, but why give up on your favourite traditions for a technicality?
