Ordered a MacBook :)

[Metric1]

I ordered a MacBook tonight!

13" MacBook Pro


2.53 GHz
4GB Ram
320 GB Hard-Drive

I only upgraded the hard-drive because MacBook's with a 320GB HD shipped within 1-3 days, and MacBook's with a 250GB HD shipped within 7-10 days.

I can't wait to get it!

[Flisker]

Congratulations on your new purchase :).

May I ask how much did it cost you, thinking to purchase one myself.

Pricing up the same specs on the UK Apple store came to £1,189.01

[Rarelime]

Congrats on the purchase, you wont be disappointed.

[Metric1]

I paid $1,444 at the US store!

Possibly your talking about different Mac books here, The first figure seems like the price for a Mac book pro. And the second just a Mac book.

I couldn't find a CPU as described in the OP on the Apple UK store under the MacBook section. It was only when I tried looking at the MacBook Pro section I found something similar, considering he mentioned he's only upgrade the HDD size from the base specs.

By the way did you know when you order a mac book you get a free ipod touch, if you didnt check out the site

Nope, for a MacBook with similar specs, it would be $1129.

You could've bought 2 laptop's with better specs for less.

I know, I was stating a fact. No need for that language.

[N!ck]

I'm 98% sure it is the 13" MacBook Pro that he ordered ;).

And what would I do with two laptops when I already have another one I am using for work?

It was a hypothetical post showing how the money could've been better spent.

not really better. Macs are much better then pcs.

No you couldn't. Please learn to use punctuation properly.

By your theory I could have done the same when I got my MacBook, Out of all the laptops I have ever owned the MacBook has made me happiest about my purchase.

No, just no. Also, please learn to spell.

Agreed

Hardly.

For half the price I can get a better PC than I could a mac, and lets be honest 'YOU WON'T GET VIRUS' ON BACK!111' ~ Virus' is hardly that hard to get rid of..

Congratulations on your buy but I personally think it is dead overpriced. Especially when you only get a 13.3in screen!

[Metric1]

Yeah, but they are so nice and they are dead good for the environment!!!!

[Fehm]

*JELOUS* :'(

[The Professor]

Why do people feel the need to start a mac vs PC argument in every thread? :S both have their advantages and disadvantages and if anyone thinks either is perfect they need to be shot at dawn.

Hope you're happy with the macbook, a 13" screen sounds so small to me! I've never used one though, it just sounds so close to 12" which is the largest generally accepted netbook size.

[Monopoly]

the screen is actually a great size.
i went from a 17 to a 13 and now when i go back to my seventeen i don't know where to look. ;p

[Madox]

Plz guys stop hating on the guy beacuse he purchased an 1,000 quid Laptop/Pc, like he said he need it for HIS STUDIES ? how do you know he not doing Photography or Media at collage/Uni/School? good choice Metric dont have any regrets

I can say I wouldn't buy a Mac as a desktop because I CAN get far better specs and have far more compatible games in Windows, but IMO Apple's notebooks can't be beaten. I don't see many computers truley given their stated battery life, I can quite happily use my MacBook for the advertised 5 hours, just as an example.

I agree. An Apple laptop is the only Apple computer I would ever buy.

They are exceptionally looking, no one can deny. I have looked into them, but a Laptop will never be able to do what a desktop can do, hence why I am custom building my PC :)

And a desktop will never do what a laptop will - portability.

Obviously, but personally for general use (for me) a Desktop is better.

I currently have two laptops and a desktop, but I will say if I bought a £2300 laptop - THEN it would be top quality!
