Hopefully this is sarcastic.
Financing it is a terrible idea unless you will earn more specifically by having the computer (versus one that you don't have to finance) than you spend on the interest payments.
Are you ******** me? Every single person here has to explain out every bit of detail in every single post, and take every little thing literally with a response in essay form.
This forum has more downs in it than a little yellow bus. Between the 30 new threads a day asking the same questions and the responses taking each one as seriously and comprehensively as the last.
Its absolutely asburd the number of posters here who want to be spoon fed every bit of info for any product and the people ready to hop in and say, hey sir i took time out of my day so you did not have to run a 3 item google search. I'm sorry but the internet doesnt give gold stars. Maybe some sticky threads would help?
Sticky: Do you need a maxed out rmbp?
Answer: If you are asking the question then no, no you do not and you do not know what your needs are.
That post you quoted was after several helpful attempts of essay writing for the op since I own a base rmbp and have the same sort of non professional needs and have been 110% happy with it despite the majority of people that say you must invest another 10%-30% into the machine spec wise. Between that and everyone elses posts the op was still back at square one with 0 idea of what he needed in a computer like he hadn't even bothered to think about his uses or attempt to read any of the responses. Textbook example of more money than brains.
How the hell are we supposed to help him when he has no idea what he wants himself?
