Default Re: Buying a new laptop- Apple?

Here's an option that really hasn't been explored carefully...
Go to delloutlet.com, buy a $299 netbook, and spend the other $2000 on some badass cigars.
It's a good thing there's not a poll, cause I'm pretty sure this would be pretty much unanimous.
Either that, or just skip the computer altogether, borrow one from someone, and spend all $2300 on cigars.
That would be totally awesome.

That sounds like the easiest, best and least stressful choice.

I would have a Mac right now if it weren't for the fact that the Apple store only has the laptops in the basic configurations.

That only took about 200 posts to come to the perfect solution.
We're getting really good at this.

Does that mean we get to help spend the extra $2000 on cigars?

It only seems right.

Christos doesn't know it, but when I was at the MI HERF earlier this month, I made a copy of his credit card like you see the cool guys do in the movies. I have been buying cigars on his card for a few weeks now

Hook me and Greg up, or we're blowing the whistle.

Sounds lame. Spend $2500 on something you can't even test drive at their specialty store?

Let me elaborate. All their models on the floor had the bells and whistles. But say you wanted a 3.06ghz processor, 500gb 7200rpm hdd, antiglare screen then you have to order. They don't carry a stock of laptops with different configurations for sale. If I wanted the 2.8 ghz processor, 500gb 5400rpm hdd and glossy screen I could have gotten my computer yesterday.
