Puter update

Well I’m one step closer to having my own machine again. This time a top of the line MacBook Pro 17” with the 2.6GHz, 7200RPM 200GB HDD, and Hi-Res LED backlit LCD. I’m pretty sure (minus the 4GB RAM upgrade) it’s the most you can get out of the MBP line. If you go to www.apple.com and price one for yourself you’ll see that it comes out to $3199.99 before taxes. I won a “best offer” on ebay of $2300 shipped and beyond excited.

Anyone else out there looking for a Mac I highly recommend taking a look at what 4macpro has to offer on ebay. Looks like he has decent deals on Mac Pro desktops as well. Not to mention it offers 2nd day UPS air too for FREE.

I’m usually the guy that has the ultra portables and would never get a notebook over the size of 12” but for some reason ( most likely the fact that it has that much power and is only 1” thin ) I’m really excited to get the 17” model of the MBP.

I have to wait for funds to clear in paypal before I can actually send payment so the machine won’t be getting here till the end of the week. I will keep this updated with pics once it arrives.
