Hey everyone.
I recently made a topic that can be found here. It started off as some sort of rant about how people give each other in general hassle about buying a computer that they don't necessarily "need" even when they have the full capability too. Towards the end, the discussion started to turn into a MBP or Macbook? kind of thing and it got me to thinking quite a bit. I did more research and I've even dropped by the local Apple store twice in the past few days. I'm feeling more confident with my decision and I can't wait to buy. I want to have zero regrets in my purchase. With school being out and already seeing people heading off to college or summer school as well as hearing about C2D Macbooks (that are BTO) being shipped a lot earlier than expected, it's hard to just sit back and wait for myself to finally get the courage to order my first Mac.
One of the biggest problems is waiting for WWDC to pass. It's almost here and I would just hate knowing I slipped too fast, you know? There's no sense in paying the same amount for something that will be upgraded in a few weeks - if it is at all. (This is not a WWDC Macbook/MBP rant, just FYI.) I'm having a completely hard time holding out, though... and I'm running out of things to make time go by faster.
I think I'm ready to pull the trigger. It'd help if my parents were a little bit more supportive - they're still stuck in "The PC World" like no other. I think I'm going to take my dad by the Apple store and have someone talk to the both of us about the laptops more and explain things a little bit better before I buy just to make sure, you know? When I went into the Apple store this afternoon, a nice man I see there often greeted me and informed me on their "One to One" support system and also informed me about their Personal Shopping system as well. I think both are actually very neat, interesting and helpful. Definitely interested!
I honestly have no idea where this thread was going... haha. I think I'm just really confused/extremely anxious at this point and I need some fellow posters out there to let me know I'm not the only one. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
