My brother financed a used car recently. Had a bachelor party in brazil and dropped $5k on escorts and more escorts over the course if 2 weeks. Cost of borrowing? Who cares. 3 different girls every day for 2 weeks and coming home with an empty prescription of Viagra. Priceless. Can't wait till thursday still!!!
 
I guess I'm a huge idiot. I used to finance a lot of my expensive tech purchases when my bank account was paying 3.5%+ interest. I'd have the money in the bank to pay in full whatever I was purchasing, but opted to do 1 year 0% financing, and ended up with an extra $100+ in the bank when all was said and done. I'm stoopid.

cool, you made a hundred dollars over the course of a year. thats what, 28 cents a day?

People, mind your own damn business about other people's finances.

And someone get us a photo, please.
 
New ThinkPads have 15 hour battery life from a 9 cell.

Should translate into the 12 hours of real world use people have been predicting here.

Presenting a new mbp model alongside with Steve's birthday celebration, I cannot imagine nothing less than an extraordinary model! ;)
 
You're an idiot to finance a trinket. Besides, businesses can take advantage of tax loopholes to depreciate their expenses.

You can't.

Go ahead... borrow that money interest free. Then, break your leg, lose your job, miss a payment by hours and watch how these people make their money in "interest free" loans.



But most need a car. They don't however *need* an overpriced macbook toy when there are cheaper alternatives that let you live within your means.

Simple principle of finance and business, use someone else's money free of charge. If one isn't responsible enough to meet the commitment, then they shouldn't take the offer. I've made many large purchases over the past decade or so and never paid one penny in interest while my money was invested in other things that gave me a tidy return. I'll ignore the idiot comment this time.

Why would apple hold meetings with the staff on Sunday after a thursday release? Maybe they will announce thursday and it will be available mon. Or tuesday.

Or maybe macbook pros are not going to be released on thursday.

I really think they are going to be released on next tuesday. March 1st.
 
Liquid Metal?

Ahh, how very amusing.. So many ill-informed beings on Mac Rumors and other forums alike. Read a few articles on the world wide web and automatically they are a qualified expert in the field of topic.

Any qualified person with any educated knowledge would know that the next MacBook Pro is going to be made from lead.

Electronique, DMBP, ME.

Are you testing a prototype? How much does it weigh? How's the form factor? Does it have SSD inside? Tell us "ill-informed beings" more!!
 
I was at work all day expecting to come home to some big news an still nothing? Announced event for iPad but nothing for new MacBook ? Is this going to be Thursday still ? Is it just going to be a small spec upgrade ? I really would be shocked if there was a big change with a big announcement wouldn't they want the media to be all over this to bump sales?

The bold part pretty much sums up the past few months for me, don't be too disappointed :D

If an event is scheduled for march 1st surely that is when the Mbps will be unveiled?

Or am I being thick?
