Once In a Blue Moon. . .
Today is a very special day. As you know, I (chris) am a Apple Fanatic, and being such, I was super excited to see Apple announce the much awaited release of their new MacBook Pro’s. What made it even more thrilling is that I have been waiting for this announcement for the last 4 or 5 months, because I decided that when they did release them, I was gonna buy one. So I just about had a heart attack when I saw they are available. About a year ago I realized I would need a new computer and started saving. It is such a neat feeling when you save for something for a long time, and finally get to purchase it. It makes the purchase that much sweeter.
I was hoping to go to the Apple store in K.O.P and pick one up, but I had to order it online because they 17″, which is the one I bought isn’t in the stores for a week or so, so I just went ahead and ordered it online. I also bought a software program called “Paralles” which allows you to run windowns right along side of OS X, which I am super excited about. This means I won’t need two computers to work, I can just use my MBP.
One last note, my friend Dan and I were talking about the cost, and after looking into it, a dell with the comparable specs is actually more expensive. The Dell XPS M1710, with comparable specs, comes to $3044, while the MBP is $2700. Huh, imagine that! The Apple computer is ACTUALLY less money. Maybe Apple will take over the world. Also, the MacBook Pro 17″ is about 45% less volume than the Dell (4862 cubic cm vs 2690) and 25% less weight. Once I do get it and get everything up, I will post a review about the machine, for those few of you out there that do care about this stuff. So, with that said, (buy apple stock), see yall later.
