    Yeah, I’m excited to see it. Not so excited to pay for it. :)

    Nice one. You must be making a small fortune now ;)

    Ha.

    I’m buying it out of neccessity. I don’t normally buy two computers every 3 months. This should last me for a while. :)

    Nice stats. Did you get the deal you were looking for? I’m saving up for a new laptop because my wife wants mine ;)

    It was a decent deal, not a CRAZILY great one, but pretty decent. It will come to $726.89 when all is said and done, including a free printer. That’s after $100 instant rebate, $100 mail in rebate, the $49.99 printer rebate and $27.11 in cash back from FatWallet.com.

    I don’t need the printer and its selling on eBay for safely $25, so I could sell it and that would knock the deal down to $726.89. There is also a $30 rebate that I will try to get with copies of the serials, etc. but I don’t think they are compatible, so I am not counting on that one.

    Nice specs there. I’m looking into a Powerbook next year. I could use a laptop and I already have two desktop PCs so I want something new. :)
