Not if you buy their Accidental which costs the same as AppleCare. Did I mention the sealed keyboard with spill drain holes? :D

Yea, I wrote about that in a different post. I think having a spill safe keyboard with drain holes is great.

Chandler, I got a Dell XPS M1210 that is about a year old so I don't think I will buy anything for a while.

Besides the obvious problems I have had with the MBA, I honestly, can't afford the MAC experience right now. Anything that Apple makes is several times more expensive than other companies. Even a keyboard cover, that does not have more rubber than a condom, costs $25. They probably make it for less than 50 cent in China.

Yeah, I agree that Apple is pretty expensive. Being 15, and buying all of my Apple hardware myself, I can definitely say that I feel the pain from the prices. Wish I had "MD" attached to my name. Maybe then, I could afford Apple hardware without having to save for several months.

What kind of doctor are you?
Sorry, curiosity strikes again, as I have BIG hopes and dreams of having my own practice one day.

I am actually a med student, soon to be MD. I thought MBA-MD would be appropriate since I have been trying to "cure" my MBA for a long time now.

It's definitely a lot of work but if you have the desire and determination there is no reason to hold back. If I were you, I would try to do the combined 3+4 programs and try to work and save as much money as you can ahead of time. Good luck.

Oh, haha! Yes, your name on here is indeed appropriate.

I don't really know what you mean with the 3+4 programs, but I put it in my notebook for things to prepare and remember about med school.
Yes, I actually have one of those, haha.

Thanks for the advice! It's always great to talk to doctors/med students to get some helpful insight.
