awww.... can you still return it, though? i don't know much about their policy or anything, but maybe you can check up on that.

yeah~ i've been into the apple stores a few times in the past month, just playing around with the iBooks... i've talked to one of the employees, and he even told me to wait for the macbooks instead. i'm thinkin' about getting one this summer. but... my current dell inspiron 6000 is not even a year old, though, but i'll most likely hand it down to my sis.

^dammn. I wish I could buy that much stuff. I still have my laptop from last Christmas Eve that my dad bought me. If I don't raise my grades, I'll have to keep it for another 2 years till I get to college.....

It does, but bootcamp doesn't run it flawlessly. There's still a number of issues that need to be resolved.
Furthermore, it seems most of the latest macbooks have major heat issues, especially the new 13.3" model.

I am considering about buying a new Mac laptop. It sucks because I bought my laptop nearly two years ago, and I knew that something like this would happen, lol.

^ If I knew how to smoke it, maybe I'd get it, but I don't know how. I'll probably aim for the white because it has a plastic covering and I like that whereas the black one has a matte finish. But the white gets dirty easily :\ Oh well, I don't evenhave enough money...yet ^^;

If you're in school, don't forget to use the education discount- you can save around $100.

And you might be able to save some money on the HD and ram- apparantly it's really easy to swap out the RAM and HD. But that might void the warranty.

You also might want to wait for a back to school sale- sometimes they have good deals or throw in a free printer or something like that.

And the whole overheating/don't actually put your laptop on your lap thing.

hmm is it those laptops in the apple store? those get abused quite a bit.
The overheating thing is a bit worse than that. Other than some discomfort on the palmrest, it is high enough to start affecting the hardware, shutting it down. Macbooks have always had heat problems mostly due to being a thin design (something most thin notebooks have to compromise on)..but their latest offerings have worsened the heat aspect. But as far as value goes.. their 13.3 is a pretty nice deal.
