How to get a macbook
It made me
yey
 "good, happy, typing this on macbook pro and ive finally got one"
How I did it: i begged my parents to help pay for half it for uni, plus used student discount and used another offer where you get free ipod touch, travelled to apple store, walked in, got advice, paid, carried it home and played with and enjoyed having one plus will use it for uni work sometimes Lessons & tips: save up a bit, beg, dont put it off, i'm still not used to the mac but will get used to it eventually Resources: apple store in birmingham bullring, student card to get discount

It wasn't easy but in the end they came through and realized it was probably better if i had one :) Read how I did it…

I Want A Macbook
2 months ago
Well I’ve got about 345$ stowed away, but they are so expensive. I want to get the Macbook Pro, but when I configured it on the website, they told me that it would cost 1700$!!! I’m never going to get one at that price! PLUS, I suck at saving money. :(

Now I am a PC user, but when I saw the new apple macbooks (aluminum) I was really excited. Then I started to read about them on blogs, portals and home pages. And I was really impressed how many good words people are saying about the mac. I also find out that it is a great computer for video editors, photographers, I understood how really good it is.
Also I love the presentations of Steve Jobs – Great men. I just want to get the new macbook aluminum!

Moving on to Plan C then, I guess
11 months ago
Looks like I’ll have to wait some more, again. Our plan to collect lots of money quickly with my mother isn’t quite going to work out after all – mum told me yesterday that she won’t be able to help me out before the New Year. She got some unexpected, urgent bills to pay.
So I’ll have to keep trying to keep this old laptop alive and kickin’ at least til January. :s
Well, at least there’s one positive side to this: I’ll get to spend some money again. Maybe buy some more food, eh.
I’ll be getting my student loan for the rest of the semester in January and I could easily buy the MacBook from that money. There’s just a few problems with that plan.
1. I don’t like the idea of spending such a huge amount of the loan at once.
2. There might not be any of those old white 2.4 GHz MacBooks left after Christmas. :/
Sometimes I really wish I was rich. Or if not Rich, then at least that I’d have enough money so that I could get by without enormous battles.

Plan B
12 months ago
So I had to wait another week because I couldn’t give the Apple people the credit application form without my mother there, since she had to prove her identity as my co-applicant. Yesterday we finally made it there together
and as was to be expected, my mother wasn’t an eligible applicant because of her loans etc. So that plan won’t work now. :x
However, my mum immediately after leaving the Apple Store decided that we will try to come up with the money together, quickly. The store apparently has five of those old 2.4 GHz MacBooks left.
I will be on a very tight budget from now on, I can’t really buy anything that isn’t completely crucial. So I won’t buy the new Smashing Pumpkins dvd that is coming out today, I won’t buy any treats, no going to the movies, nothing extra. Just the necessities of life.
(Good thing that I happened to buy my vacuum cleaner just before we made this decision, eh. I don’t have to live in dust anymore, hurray!)
