Ok, I admit it. I’m a…what do you call it? Ah yes, “girlie-girl.” I do so like the term Girly-Girl much better than “prissy” or “high-maintenance” or well, you get the picture. I admit it it, I love pink and bling; puppies and kittens; cute markers and notebooks; stuffed animals and date-movies; and yes I am an adult.
However, when it comes to technology and business, I take it all very seriously. I came across this press release about a new computer, soon to be released by Fujitsu, that was designed just for women. I’m not sure whether to laugh, be insulted, or perhaps really want one.
At first glance, I must admit it looks very pretty. I’d love to carry around a “bling bling” computer with me. I mean, I already have a

Fujitsu Floral Kiss
totally feminine luxe computer case (affiliate link) that I use right now for my laptop. I do think that Fujitsu is on to something. Most computers look pretty boring and, all things being equal, there are individuals that would choose a casing that they find appealing.
However, what I found outright obnoxious is the included scrapbook, diary and horoscope applications that come with the computer. Is that what Fujitsu thinks that women do with their computers? I also don’t appreciate the fact that nowhere in their press release do they even hint at the RAM of their new computer. If I am going to purchase a computer, even one for casual on-the-road use, I want to know some of the hard specifications to make certain that the item meets my needs.
As a girly-girl I applaud them for the cute design, but as a business woman and admitted geek, I am very disappointed that they think that we’ll buy a computer just ’cause it’s cute and includes a diary.
The future of computing though, is that computers will become even more stylish and integrated into our lives. I am excited about this first, if misguided step.
Too bad I already have a laptop and case

Well, not being a “girly girl”, I too look more for what drives the computer. I don’t scrapbook, nor do I keep a diary… Looks like it would be another choice for me…
