So, with Apple's new model out, my school dropped the price of computers substantially. My MacBook Pro is only $1400 now. I am very angry. Not only do I have older technology (ie: I am envious of the 9 series GeForce card in the new laptops), but I overpaid significantly. My next computer will probably not be bought from them after this. I think I love my computer less now. But if anyone wants a cheap MacBook, go http://universitycomputers.com/ - here . And please remind them they suck. ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |

Hrmmm, my PC laptop seems to be going for the same price I bought it for 6 months ago. That's Funny. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

...it's been 3 months. No car loses 25% of it's value in 3 months. It would be a bigger deal to me if I had a)paid for it myself (in which case I wouldn't have spent the money) or b)was trying to resell it (which I'm not). But the point is the same. Help yourself to cheap lappies. ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |

No? I love my MBP, and I know it's not obsolete. I won't really need to purchase a new laptop until I'm out of college. I can buy more RAM if I so choose, I have 200 gigs on my hard drive, and a 250 gig external. I fail to see how my laptop is obsolete. |

Exactly. I got what I paid for, I'm just angry that I was too dumb to do research before, realize they were coming out with a totally updated model this year, and wait. It still blows every laptop I've ever tried except Alienware (read: POS) out of the water in terms of gaming.

| simple apple economics, come out with a new model long before its actually neccessary for every single product so that way apple fanatics can have to spend 10 times as much money staying up to date :) |

I'm not complaining about it being overpriced. I'm complaining about everyone else's not being overpriced. See what I did there? ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |

| I still have the 2.2Ghz macbook pro and I dont really care that they have new ones, as mine still works perfectly for everything I need it for. I ditched my Powerbook for my MBP when I needed a performance boost, and wanted an intel platform. |
