Hey everyone, I'm new to the boards, good to be here.
I'm a senior in college, and am about to return to Macs after a three-year stint with a Dell laptop. (Won't be making that mistake again.) The reason I am purchasing a new MacBook Pro is because I was just signed into a class on the condition that I will provide my own computer, and I simply don't trust my Dell to make it through the semester. I could not be more excited.
I do have a few questions, though. I will be purchasing through the education store, and their current promotion is $200 off plus a free nano. (The previous generation, not the brand new one.) I don't really care about the nano as I already have one. This promotion will end on September 16, 2007. Any ideas on whether Apple will be running a new promotion after that? Or should I buy now, as there will be no incentives besides the $200 off?
My other question concerns Leopard. I am under the assumption that if I buy now, I will need to pay for Leopard later. While Leopard looks amazing, is it really worth waiting another month for?
I really appreciate any and all advice you can give me. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I hope I put this in the right section of the forum. If not, point me in the right direction.
