Update Euphoria Causes Rash Increase of Old Tech MBP Sales ~ A Drunken Bards Tale
Those are all really nice computers and all but gees the new ones are on the way guys/gals...? Did you absolutely need to have a higher end Mac laptop today?
I was in my local Best Buy today and they had 1 top of the line 17" left. I had it in box/hand and was at the check out ready to say screw it I'm buying now with that big ol' I'm getting a sweet sexy new
grin on my face. These adrenaline filled emotions also stemmed from the confidence I had knowing that if I have to bite a return for the latest and greatest I have more backup return protection than usual being a Best Buy Silver Elite Reward Zone member. This was the one and only reason I was about to buy my first of many Apple products from Best Buy.
But then it hit me like an apple from a tree I say John boy! I realized it was the
no damn update yet shakes getting to me and that I did not actually need this amazing Apple laptop right now - right there today! And that if I did buy it and not really need it I'd be letting the mothersh
p think it was OK to string it's loyal dollar shelling customers out for so long on an update. I just wanted it sooooo bad because of the looming updates that have yet to happen. But I suddenly got Zen with it and put the box down and looked the (super hot by the way I know not so Zen but damn she was fine) young cashier in the eye and said "thanks but I've changed my mind I won't be buying this after all" and walked out the door.
I guess the rambling point I'm trying to share (not make) is that I feel at the end of the day that even though the current MBP are indeed amazing and beautiful machines and will be for many for some years to come...and even though I knew I'd be like a kid in a candy store for a week or two setting it all up and tweaking it out and dropping jaw over the stunning LED screen and how well it still plays most games even though I don't really game on a laptop ever...deep down I'd know that the new models my cousin, my brother, my buddy's on Mac Rumors, my
enemy's 
on Mac Rumors will all be so much truly happier that they - we - held out just a bit longer and will be blown away with their, our, newest of new Macbook Pros that absolutely trounce the current generation for years to come.
Yes indeed these new models are coming and they are coming in only weeks if not a week now. They are coming and they are far superior in so many ways. Pacify yourself with 10% restocking fee's all you want but at the end of the day those are hard bills to burn upon return day, even harder with your head between your tail hoping to get the new Macbook Pro you knew was ready and waiting in the first place... telling yourself "
$250 is not that bad to return this one and get the best".
