Free Gift from Apple from MacBook Repairs? What to pick?

Id go with the 125 dollar discount.
For headphones, you can buy a better one with a bit more cash.
Are you really going to use the DSLR case?

 

I'd go with the discount!

 

Take the $125

 

I'd upgrade to 2.7 j/k

 

Take the discount you can use it on the retina. for the other items, you can wait to see if they ever go one sale elsewhere and buy it if you need it.

 

Well I already have a Manfrotto, Tumi backpack, and beats studio, so I would pick the discount.

But if I was in your situation, I would go for what is worth the most, which is the bag. You can opt for the discount but you may end up buying a more expensive bag than the discount. And what if you decide to return the rMBP? Hehe. Well I guess that should be discussed in another thread.

 

I usually like to get accessories myself. I would get a nice pair of headphones over a bag.

 

REtina discount. Thats a huge thing I would take without blinking!

 

$125....neither of those are worth it. I would say take the $125 and then add about $50 more and get a way cooler Timbuk2 case - http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/shop/function/camera (I just looked at that case and its $170!!! For incase???? Seriously??? that's crazy!!) As for headphones, I personally use the Bose QC3s and they are amazing. I don't like the size of the Beats...but I really like that they have a bluetooth set. I haven't tried the Bowers & Wilkins P5, but I have heard a lot of good things...and they make some high quality audio devices, so im sure they are amazing. I don't see a company like incase making a high quality audio device.

 

Made in china garbage...no thanks. I've used Timbuk2 for years. They are made in San Francisco and are very high quality.

 

Discount

 

yes, I've always had their messenger bags and they are extremely comfortable, they have LOTS of storage pockets...the higher end ones come with a padded sleeve for your macbook and the newer messenger bags (the one I got for my rMBP) also includes a tablet sleeve. They are all weather proofed and the strapped is stitched to the bag, to keep it from slipping off accidentally while biking. Super sturdy, very nice materials (stays clean very well) and the rubber inside make it a great all terrain bag! I couldn't recommend them more.

And, even better, if you order them direct from their website you can customize every aspect of the bag! And since they don't have to pass chinese customs they arrive in a few days after ordering!

 

I carry my Macbook, 3 hard drives, my Bose Headphones (really large case), a charger, a g700 mouse, all my cables for my hard drives, and several other items with no problem.

Once you get the Macbook into the case there is plenty of room for books and other items.

 

The margins on their own products will be significantly higher, so there might be some more room in there for you if you ask nicely.

Consider an iPod touch, iPod classic or Time Machine.

 

You know, like the MBP itself.
