Congrats, you will fall in love w/ her (be sure to give her a nameLucky8 said:
). Only thing I can think of checking is to see if it happens to fall under the 15in MBP Battery Exchange Program. I somewhat doubt it, but check...just in casewhat if my mbp has those issues? I'm sure my dad wont be too happy taking me to the apple store for a one week old mbp. (such a pesimist, i know i just wanna get upgraded haha)
Oh rubbish...no need to go to the Apple store, call them and they come to youSteve Jobless said:
. Actually they will probably be more helpful. But hey, problems/issues come with the territory, the 1.83 MBP you are looking at is just as likely to see issues as, say, a Rev. A Core 2 MBP. What it boils down to is...if you don't mind forking over those $400 for the revised technology that is just over the horizon, wait....if not, get the $1500 Amazon deal
I took my daughter down to the Tyson's Corner Apple Store this afternoon.
I wanted to see if she preferred the iMac or the MacBook.
She REALLY liked the BlackBook, so I may be stuck spending a bit more for a
refurb BlackBook 2.0 GHz
Now if only Apple would offer a BlackMacPro external keyboard.
Fortunately, she doesn't mind holding off for a few more weeks
to see what happens with new processors.
Her older sister is also getting a MacBook for her birthday the
first week in September, but it looks like she may be getting an Apple
gift certificate and then go shopping 2 weeks later.
You 'lil varmits is expensive

I know that they are likely the most rewarding thing in the world...but boy am I not looking forward to having children wanting a cellphone (or the 2025 equivalent of a celly) as soon as they can talkFFTT said:
haha, sadly its true. this is my belated birthday present. but im 17 and off to college soon so i guess it all works out in a way.
hows the tysons store? ive only been to the one in arlington and wasnt too impressed with the service there?^
The Tyson's Store is always busy, but very well stocked.
I generally visit the store for accessories, repairs and Window shopping.
It all sounds and looks good on the web catalogs, but I always see what I'm buying hands on before calling my Apple Rep.
I was impressed with the BlackBook myself, for it's sleekness and the matte
black finish.
I have to buy two so, they may have to settle for white 2.0 Ghz refurbs.
They also have to have at least 1 GB RAM each and a bag, so yeah it adds up.
Their other sister just started college this week a Va Tech, so I may have holes in my own shoes, but my kids get what they need for their education.
