MacBook Pro 17", yes yes or no good? Options

[Simba]

Aight I probably made like 3 or 4 topics asking for what laptop I should get over the course of 3 years, and I still haven't gotten one. I think I'm sold for a 17" macbook pro though.

aight but that ish is like $2800 so I wanna make sure it's fasho

no good or good to go? better alternatives?

I'll be using it for primarily photography and heavy multitasking.

If you can afford it / someone else can for you, go for it. I'd love to have one.

If you go through with this, buy from Macmall.com, trust me on this, they have good deals. It's all legit. I got my ipod, 80gb from them, $175 on Black Friday. Right now they have twice as good macs as apple for the same price.

lol are you sure? It's not the most legit looking place ever

do they got warranty and all that ish, or at least you can take your mac that you bought from them to the Apple store and they'll fix it or whatever

Macmall is really weird. Check out some of their reviews, their customer service seems to be hot and cold.

I'd rather just pay a few hundred more and buy it legit from Apple. You're already spending a lot of money, why not just pay a bit more and avoid the hassle?

yeah that's exactly where my head's at right now

I mean that's part of the reason I'm gettin a Mac, I don't want no hassles no mo

Biggie obviously never messed with Apple, 'cause with them, Mo' Money Less Problems it seems

Macmall is legit, its one of the largest places to get apple items besides getting it from apple directly.

Honestly though I would just pay the extra and just buy it from apple.


What do you plan to do with your laptop? I was going to get a mac but later just got a XPS from dell. I like it, haven't had any issues with it.

a heckuva lot of media; photography, video, music, and a lot of multitasking in general

My dad was gonna get my bro an XPS, actually it came in the mail today, but he changed his mind to a Mac and we're just gonna return the XPS

For someone like you AC, ( I think its you O_O) I would say to get a damn good mac. I think you would really really happy with one and I'm sure if you get a damn good one it will meet you expectations.

If your good with computers, I wouldn't suggest upgrading through apple. They charge you way more than what its worth. Even though it voids your warranty to change the parts if you know how to do it the right way just buy the parts from other places and change em' out.

I dunno if I'm good enough to risk voiding my warranty, but I guess I always got some friends that are

[shanaynay]

well This is what I'm getting. I think macs are just WAYYY overpriced for what they do.

[Insurmountable]

Idk, I haven't been here in a while and I've already made a few little mistakes. lol.

If you have the money to get the upgrades, then just get them. If your not computer savvy don't void your warranty. I would feel bad if you f*cked up >_> haha


A gateway? god I haven't seen one of those in ages. I always hated them...and for that much buy a normal macbook if you really want a mac.

I'm getting a mac mini to carry around *shrug or I'm just going to build a mini desktop and put linux on it.

[*BOSS*]

well This is what I'm getting. I think macs are just WAYYY overpriced for what they do.

you also think you can beat me in COD4,so EPIC FAILLLL

told you juna, my picks are MBPRO or HPTouch

Yea, its really easy. You just need to find a hacked version of OSX and install it. Of course its against the rules for me to give you any other information on it or links, so good luck to ya.
