2001 Grand Cherokee Laredo ($3,000) -- Not my pic...but very similair....

Not technically a purchase, but I recently found out that my next assignment (USAF) is to Seoul, South Korea (Yongsan) and my family and I are all excited for that...

Enjoy. I spent about 18 months in Camp Casey (not 8th Army, I actually tried to re-enlist to go to Seoul but they didn't give me what I wanted and decided to ETS. Regretted it, but my life turned out great anyway.

Enjoy Korea, it's really an awesome country if you actually see it. Unlike most who only see the inside of the "clubs".

Look at those zebras, look at how it all comes together.

Update: Here's what I ended up paying if anyone's curious.

I thought with the edu discount it comes to $1999, how did you get it for another $100 cheaper?

I'm pretty sure it's 1899.

 

[jronan2]

I'm in ny when i'm under the discount page its $2199 with $200 discount so $1999. Am i missing something?

 

[Dkrogh]

I just bought a TV 3rd gen from Best Buy

At least with the corporate discount, it can very from company to company. Not sure if the same applies to the edu discount.

For example, the corporate discount right now for me is $2,023.

SO EXCITED!

So jealous. My wife and I are in the process of buying a house, so we're hopefully going to get down there next year. Then there's New Jersey coming up as well.

Because Apple factors in that (free) $100 gift card, so it adds up to the original educated price discount of $2K. If you look at the total price, it answers the question. It was a bug in the system when I purchased mine, Apple fixed it so it now correctly takes off that $100 gift card as a savings.

As great as the new Retina MacBooks are, I'm uncomfortable with a machine that I can't upgrade (or fix) myself down the road. So I decided to finally pull the trigger on the 'old style' MBPs.

$1859 (CAD)
2.5GHz Quad Core i7
15.4-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit Hi-Res antiglare widescreen display, 1680-by-1050 resolution

4GB (2 x 2GB) of 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
750GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm
8x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6770M

Should be here tomorrow. It'll be a huge jump from my current MacBook, so I'm quite excited!

What can't you service on a new Macbook Pro that you can can service on the "old" ones?

Ram, possibly the SSD, the battery is glued in, pentalobe screws are used on the bottom. Apple makes things such a PITA sometimes.

yes its my first gopro and so far its been amazing

don't know if you saw the earlier post I made, but if you haven't already joined this forum then you really should!

decided to give this company another try for internet service due to comcast's price hike

I don't know if your plan was to use the SD card in the 5D2, but it takes CF cards.

Thats one busy week, and a fantastic purchase, the battery grip is nice, but that 50mm f1.2 is amazing on the 5D2, enjoy a good purchase

I take it the SD was for another item?

Girlfriend is rocking the 550D now, so i got her extra storage. I bought an 8 GB CF card in store yesterday and i ordered a 32 GB on Amazon.

I was fully committed to a rMBP yesterday, but after finding out I can't upgrade the SSD, i'll be going with the 15" MBP. So bummed.
