How to get a MacBook Pro by Lolly

"I love macs and I used to have a powerbook and I needed an upgrade."

How I did it: I simply bought one hahaha.  I'm a big Apple nerd anyway.  I have the vintage rainbow apple tattooed on my finger. :P

I am planning on getting some more memory for it tho as I can double it for something silly like £40 nowadays which isn't a great deat really in the scheme of things.

Lessons & tips: Save up money.

Resources: Apple's website.

It took me
1 year
It made me

How I did it: So easy. I walked into an Apple store and was helped out immediately, as you'd expect. The computer (a 2.4 GHz 1st-gen aluminum unibody model) is awesome, the best machine and the best computer product I have yet bought, hands down. Extremely happy with it. Worth every penny.

Happy Me!

How I did it: I just went and bought one. I saw a big discount on the unibody and I said why not. I told myself I will only get a laptop if it's a Macbook Pro, now I have it and I cannot be more happy having it. I love my Macbook Pro!Now, Apple has released it's new OS, I can't wait to get one. It's just a nice feeling to be part of the Apple language. My Mac is so worth the buy. I suggest you get one too. Read how I did it…

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…

7 days
It made me
So happy!

How I did it: After weeks of suffering with the hell that is dell, I decided to start hunting for cheap macs. To get as much information as I could, I asked a lot of coworkers what kind of computers they had and how they liked them. My manager admitted that he was selling he MacBook Pro for 1300 on Craigslist, but he'd sell it to me for 1000. At first I thought I was getting ripped off, but I did my research and learned that it was an amazing deal. Bec… Read how I did it…

    I have to get one for law school. A lot of people are telling me to get a PC instead, but a few advisors are saying that I should stick with what I know, and there’s great outlining programs for Macs. So I’m going to get an incredibly expensive computer that will average around 1k for each year of law school.

    I’m pretty bummed because I just found out I washed one of my iPods. UGH.

    I can hardly wait! 8 months ago

    I want the 15” Macbook Pro. I have had and loved my Dell Inspiron 6000, but with the way PC is going I’ve been thinking a lot about Macs. With the release of the new aluminum unibody and all the wonderful tweaky bits, I think the time is… soon.

    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.

    I have been waiting for something by Mac other than an old iPod. I finally Got my Lovely Little G4 MacBook Pro. I love being creative, and that is what Mac has done fro me with their simple little programs that leave you with so many options. Enjoy it. I gotta make mine last eight years.

    It didn't change my life or anything ... 18 months ago

    I’m working on one right now. Sure it’s great but I’m actually a longtime wintel user who hates the Evil Empire of Redmond but also hates Apple prices (I always had to buy multiple machines for a network so it adds up). I’m not exactly getting the difference. Since DOS machines will now run Quark XPress, the advantages seem few to me.
