New MacBook Pro is out!

[Steve]

Released today new i5 and i7 processors and 10 hour battery on the 13.3 inch

[Rik]

Which one are you going for, Steve?

[Steve]

If I did, I fancy a 15in with the additional graphics card but its over twice the the price of a good Windows laptop.

[Rik]

Always the problem with a Mac, isn't it.

Of course some of us qualify for Higher Ed discount..... 

[Rik]

Did you want to adopt me, Tac?

Did you want to adopt me, Tac? 

Actually they've got more restrictive over recent years.  The discount used to be consistent over all items, but now the maximum is on the main items - MacBooks, MacPro (still hideously expensive) and iMac.  Most other things, apart from Aperture, iLife/iWork etc, get a reduced discount - still worth having but not as good as in the past.

They also prefer you to order online as they can police the IP and email addresses. 

[Rik]

They're no fun anymore. A bit like Adobe, I've lost my discount there altogether.

[Tina]

I want. I know you can all buy me one as a birthday pressie  lol

[Rik]

Nice try, Diss, but I'm first in the queue.

[Glenn]

Damn, that means I'll be last on the list, another 364 days to wait.

[Tina]

But you can afford to wait longer, Glenn, us oldies have less time.

It's the Scots blood, Diss.

[Glenn]

But you can afford to wait longer, Glenn, us oldies have less time.

But I have a day less, each passing day, just like you.

[Tina]

[Rik]

That's young.

[Tina]

[Glenn]

[Tina]

Ok you lot. Stop the fighting.

You are all getting me a mac book pro.

There you go, all sorted now, no more arguements please

[zappaDPJ]

I'm think of buying one of these myself although for sheer looks the MacBook Air really does appeal. Come on, you are not just going to buy an Apple purely for the ease of use 

I need to do a lot of research.

[Rik]

This could prove very expensive, Zap.

[zappaDPJ]

It could, I'll probably need to fill it with Mac specific applications and I've just checked out the prices
