How I did it
How to get a MacBook Pro
It took me
18 months
It made me

How I did it: The main delay for me has been getting the money together.  This year we had an unusually good tax refund, and we decided to spend part of that money to get a refurbished MacBook Pro. Read how I did it…

Get a MacBook Pro (read all 2 entries…)
I'm a bit concerned 12 months ago

With the recent announcement that all of the new MBPs will have only glossy screens, I’m afraid this is going to be a “now or never” goal, while the matte screens are still around. (I put up with a glossy laptop screen for a week once before, and I regret not sending it back sooner than I did.)

The problem, of course, is paying for it.
