Post Your Last Purchase XXV

[copykris]

Expensive, but it had to be done. You don't buy a $2,100 MacBook Pro and not have it insured.

tim cook loves your reasoning

a $2,100 piece of equipment shouldn't need extra insurance against premature mechanical failure

I would argue that it should just have a 3 year warranty. It would make me much more inclined to buy an Apple portable. Every pro grade computer I purchase for my company (anywhere from 30 to 300 a year) have a 3 year warranty, typically with guaranteed American support. Mechanical parts are going to fail, regardless of brand, but one shouldn't have to scramble to come up with hundreds to repair a machine that is no longer under warranty after a year.

I think you'll love Skyward Sword. I've had it since it came out, but need to finish it up.

I really need to get my hands on Skyward Sword. It's been on my list for awhile.

This I would agree with. 10 months after my father bought his 2007 13" MB, the logic board failed. Had it not been under warranty, it would have been one expensive fix! But yes, for $2,100 apple should offer a 3yr warranty. However, US laws don't support that idea.

2007 MacBook Pro 17" High res

2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 8600M GT, 4GB RAM, 1920x1200. Pretty chuffed as I got it for £345 plus shipping, and it even has a new battery. Only issue is a mark on the screen from the keyboard which I can live with. Can't wait for it to arrive!

I just placed the order for the ATH-M50s on Amazon. Price dropped to $101.98 and I had $62 in gift cards. Be here Thursday! (I'll post the actual pic then)

Nice! I still rock my 2008 MBP daily.

Sweet! How does it hold up ? The core 2 duo chips are starting to show their age but in all fairness I am coming from a 2.0GHz T7200 as my portable machine so should see an upgrade. Could always slap an SSD in at a later date too!

It's held up wonderfully! I have a 2010 MBP that I use to bring back and forth to class, and its my primary mobile computer. I keep my 2008 MBP as my desktop always have it in clambshell mode attached to a 23" Apple Cinema Display. Works like a charm!

Wow! I thought I was the only one!

I rock my MBP, too...and if I sing a quiet lullaby to it, it goes to sleep!

You should know that rocking can be a sign of deep complex issues under the surface. Have you though about seeking professional help? I know a guy on a forum who might take you on.
Of course it could just be caffeine withdrawal!

Not sure this counts as a purchase, but my friend and I just signed our lease for an apartment starting July 30th! They told us if we sign before sunday, it would be $1,100 a month for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. Since that apartment complex is the preferred housing of the Colorado Rapids, I asked them about it, and they said if you work for the company that owns the team (Kroenke Sports & Entertainment), they give employees/players a 20% discount on the rent per month, so my buddy and I would be paying $880 a month for a 952 sq foot apartment! That's just $440 a month for each of us, plus utilities which will never be more than $100 a month!

Here's the floor plan!

I too just purchased Apple Care for my MBP. Called in today to have it applied to my serial #.

Todays purchase was some packing tape and boxes for my move. Exciting.
