Off of newegg.

There is a $20 off code for it too. Thought I might as well pick it up since that's the cheapest I have seen 8gb in a while. I was looking at $200+ for no name brand a few months ago!

Picked up a speck clear see thru for my macbook air. I think it makes the MBA look pretty, so basically this was bought for vanity's sake haha. I also picked up a wrapsol for the MBA to protect it some more if I want to go "naked".

Speck was $15 shipped new.

I know RAM definitely helps with multiple applications open at the same time...but what about gaming? Would 8 gigs of ram give a significant gaming boost on my MacBook Pro 13" with 320M?

Price matched at Microcenter.

Simply amazing, great picture, tiny, fit's so well in your pocket.

We got this right after it was released. Great little camera!

Pre-ordered one of my favourite films of all time!

I also did some early (at least earlier than usual...) Christmas shopping.

That is a good question. It might. I think gaming wise you would be most limited by the graphics card or CPU on that MBP. But there are people out there who know more than me! I don't even try gaming on my Mac. That's what my PS3 is for :cool:

The ram really helps with VM though, which is what I need to run my medicine programs etc.

Picked up a lenovo bluetooth mouse. After searching around for the perfect bluetooth mouse that is not the magic mouse, I hope this one is good! Only one USB port on my MBA! hahaha. I like the retro understated rugged look, and it looks like it will do nice ergonomically.

I always pretty much know what Krafty is going to post before I even click on the thread......:p

Hahaha, sad but true! :D


Fedex dropped this off a few days ago. Pretty stoked about my most recent purchase. :D
Nice machine! Some days I kick myself for downgrading from one of those massive 27" screens to a 15" MBP.
Then again, the 27" LED Cinema Display is only $999.... Hmmm

I think more RAM would help with gaming but also faster ram would help a lot more. Which is why most gamers want to overclock their computers.

I picked this up at BB yesterday, It's a traditional platter-based drive (7200 rpm), plus 4gb hybrid, for my 2010 I7 MBP.:D
