[lpheat22]

Ok so the screen size I'm looking at is the 15" but idk which model should I get. I'll be using it for the usual school, dling music, surfing the web so should what model should I go with and should I buy it at the apple store or somewhere else? I'm not a student right now since I'm apply to masters programs but I might be able to have someone help me with getting the student discount . . . All advice is appreciated fellas and yes I've gone in the Mac thread but my question got lost in the responses

how much are you looking to spend? check out the refurb store, i've heard that the last release of MBPs are faster than the newest ones...not positive though

What you need it for now, ill say the 1st model.
Also what us your line of work? That can also determine if u need the higher spec intel and graphic card.

Well I really don't have a limit since I'm kind of getting it for my bday but I'm paying most of it and I work at a group home so my work doesn't have much to do with what I get

As of right now Best Buy is doing two years no interest financing.



If you absolutely know you can afford the payments (probably around $80 a month) while being able to pay off the price of the mac book before 24 months this is an excellent way to build credit score.

I've had two HDDs brick up on me on macbooks.. These aren't immune from anything. Some people build up these MACs like they are so much better than anything else. But I feel they are all pretty much comparable with no true run away winner.

i've had my hard drive fail twice on my macbook and both times they were able to save all my files and replaced the hard drive, even when it was out of warranty.
yea sometimes things happen, but no viruses or anything like that and excellent customer service
