She got an apple gift card with 1350.00 dollars on it. I got a weird vibe from the Mac genius once we talked for a while........he all but said wait. Maybe I was reading into it but my wife was right there and thought the same thing and decided to wait all by herself. She is a geek and would be hurt if somthing cool came out in 2 weeks and she had already bought the macbook. So she has the apple card in the safe and ready to spend.
