A deal? On an Apple product? Sweet!
Welcome to my new blog! I just bought the computer, so I figured it would be a good time to create the blog.
As a lifelong PC user, it was pretty hard to start looking for a mac, since I knew next to nothing about them. Luckily, I had a great resource of awesome Mac users at hand, and I thank them for their help.
I decided on the 1.83 GHZ, 15.4″ MacBook Pro which sells for $1,999 on Apple’s website. I decided to poke around a bit for a good price, and it didn’t take long to find one. Amazon had a great deal, which will end up with me paying $1,819.
The laptop should arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday, and then I can dive right in and get started on enjoying computing!

Nice choice on getting a mac. Hopefully I will be able to get mine soon.

Nice job on getting the MBP. But were you aware of apple’s educational discounts? I’m not exactly sure how much it would have saved off of $1,999, but it’s usually around a 7-10% savings from normal price.
This applies to nearly everything in their store as well.

Yup, I checked into all of that. My two choices were:
1. Since their educational discount is only for those in College, not highschool, have my brother buy it for me. The educational discount was $200 off, making it $1,799. With sales tax, which I would have to pay buying it directly from Apple, it would total $1,947.
2. Buy it off of Amazon. Base price was $1,999, then 1.5% off ($31) because of A9.com, and then a $150 rebate, which brought the total down to $1,819. Since Amazon is online and not right next to me, no sales tax.

many things to discuss… But anyway I’m not going to discuss such a personal topic. Reading it is ok, but discussing it makes you look like a chatter –box and a rumor-spreader.

well every time I meet people here, I’m sure they are very young and don’t know what to say, that’s why they write weird stuff

Your previous posts were real rubbish, but this is good. This one is brilliant. Your blog is getting really better.
