I hope the other macbooks will soon get cheaper so I can buy the macbook pro without squirming at the money slipping away from my fingers. Wishful thinking perhaps? Oh well... I'll get it one day sooner or later. Oh great! I hope the other macbooks will soon get cheaper so I can buy the macbook pro without squirming at the money slipping away from my fingers.

Even your sound would work out.

I could be wrong here, but is the second picture not just the macbookair? And the last one a bad photoshop job? Let's hope so, none of them look macbookpro worthy... $1800??? where did you pick that up! i’m hoping and praying for that price!

Just a pleasurable experience, as opposed to the frustrating one I'd always get with Windows-based PCs.

But the shop was closed already and I haven't had time since to look into it. Right now I'm very thankful for the (normally dreaded) fact that there aren't enough days in a week.
