New Laptop
I bought a Mac. (Well technically it’s my second Mac, I owned a Mac Classic II in college).
I was saving for a new computer to replace my Dell desktop and decided that I really wanted to play with OS X and should probably have another laptop instead of custom building a $2,000 desktop that I won’t use to its full power. Since they’re running at 2+ GHz they’re not a bad little machine either - at least I can tell from the 45 min I spend playing with one in the Apple store at Southpoint.
The box is sitting on my kitchen counter.
Its partly an exercise in restraint (I had some work to do tonight [what else is new], and I’m taking next week off, so there is plenty of time to play :-), partly an attempt to get to bed at a reasonable hour (I knew that if I opened it up at 9pm when I got home I’d be up REALLY late and I’m almost certain, based on the 2nd sleep study that I did last week, that I’ve got narcolepsy), and partly an exercise in getting rid of buyers remorse (if I let it sit there for a bit I’ll be confronted with it’s “returnability” and just get over it… I saved the money and can afford it.).

I got the white Mac Book. 13.3′ Screen / 2.16Ghz / 2GB Ram / 120 GB HD

Oh that’s the one I got too, though I have a smaller HD and 1GB RAM. I’m really happy with mine, I think some of it is just that it doesn’t seem like I’m at work when I’ve got something at home that looks and feels different than a thinkpad.
I was put off the pro versions as they’re so big and I also think the white one looks cooler too, even Summer in the OC has one and I’ll take that over what all the computer nerds pick.

I bet the employees at the Apple store are just glad to have their demo machine freed up. In an ironic twist, if you need help with your new mac let me know
I’m smelling iPhone… welcome to the darkside!

IPhone? Not a chance. $600 for a phone… I don’t think so
