I have been dreaming of the Mac for weeks now. And today, I just feel like going over to Pavilion to buy it NOW. The VP of Finance told me today that she had failed in getting my boss to strike a deal so I could keep the company notebook at a discounted price. She says he went into a fit at the mere mention of selling it to me. Wow! So many "Wows!" in the past week.... Wow-ing over a hot hoochy-mama is fun... not otherwise.
I guess that the mere mention of my name now sends these people into orbit. Well... looks like I have wasted about RM2k on upgrades on this notebook. Looks like 'execution' will take place as planned on Saturday morning. Looking on the bright side... I get a further RM150 towards The Buy Botak A Mac fund as I have a buyer for my 2 x 2GB of RAM.
There are two reasons why I am not in Pavilion now...
1. Buying from the store, you only get stock models... standard versions. I need a RAM upgrade so it's better to order online.
2. The Macs are due for an upgrade. It currently runs on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Most other notebooks are now running on the Intel i-series processors. Word is that Mac will follow suit very shortly. The current model was released in June 2008. It has been 275 days since the last update and the MacBook Pro has an average of 200 days between updates. So, it only makes sense to hold on for as long as I can.
Did you know that this beauty can give you 7 hours on a single charge? And did you know that its battery has a 1000 recharge lifespan as opposed to approximately 300 on other batteries? Well... check it out... and if you fall in love with it... it's not my fault. Click at your own risk.
