longest 13 days ever

so im set, my asus is sold, i even have a new pretty desk just gatta wait 13 days till i can buy my macbook...

i must say the wait is a killer..

still have decided if the 2.2 white is worth it though any tips?

 

If your going to get a White Macbook, theres no reason whatsoever to spend more than $974 (or less, if possible). I believe MacMall has that deal going on or something similar. Drop in your own 200gb 7200 rpm drive, and 4gb ram, and you'll never know the difference between the 0.2 ghz. The only 2.2 purchase you should be considering is if you must have the Black.

 

Depends what you're looking for...if you're getting the 2.2 GHz for the extra .2 GHz, I'd tell you to just get the 2.0 GHz model. But if you need or want the SuperDrive, then get the 2.2 GHz .

And if you can afford it, upgrade to 2 GB RAM. You can get RAM cheap from places like Newegg.com, and its easy to install on the MacBook.

And while you're waiting, might want to check out these guides to get you familiar with Macs!

yeah the only thing is really the 200 mhz plus the superdrive.. but even the superdrive i think ill be fine without

 

In that case, I think you're good with the base model MacBook .

 

and yeah i was asking before with time machine i do plan to up the hd to 200-250 gb and the mem will be 4gb before long so those specs are no biggie

 

forget the wait i just bought the 2.0ghz macbook online! lol
should be here wensday to next Monday

 

Congrats, ceiph! Keep us posted on how it goes!

 

Congrats on the purchase You'll love it just like I do!

 

haha aurora i remember when we were in the asus fourms and you told me congrats on the z70va

 

Haha... HEY I remember that too!

Wow... where has all of the time gone? Felt just like yesterday.

 

Heehee. AuroraS/Sam, remember back in I think September 2006, when I PMed you regarding ASUS notebooks in Vancouver? Here we are, both with MacBooks now .

 

Wow I totally forgot about that! I had to go check my PMs to confirm.
Haha... and yes, ironic that now we both have white MacBooks.

 

enjoy the new machine, i highly doubt you will regret it.

It is cool to see so many people embracing Apple for so many different reasons.

Not to mention it is amazing to see a large American Corporation that still has some class, style, and willingness to keep innovating. People can recognize that and I think that is some of the reason Apple has started to re-emerge.

Even people that completely know there way around a Windows PC and don't have any issues with them are recognizing it, it is not about loyalty to a brand, it is just about usability and style at this point.

 

the natural transition... asus to apples

 

Of course, can't forget to mention that ASUS makes some of the MacBooks for Apple .

 

delivery time was such a long period of my life if only every store in my area wasn't sold out at the time!
enjoy your new macbook! you're going to love it

 

haha yeah i had to order online so my bro could get the cc bonus points, but its not bad. the macbook is tn right now and im only in chicago so ill have it wensday for sure
