[QUOTE="homelesskitty, post: 1849167, member: 404355"] Haha! Thank you for your reply, chscag! Mm yeah, maybe just wee bit over my budget.. although they do 24 months interest free credit on the Apple store here so... haha, yes perhaps! It’s not like I’ll have to pay it back if this is indeed the apocalypse, I’d be as well going out in style I guess. :) I am just apprehensive about making a major purchase because I know there are always certain people who SWEAR by some perfect generations of MBPs and would avoid certain ones at all costs, so. Basically just sanity checking my rationale and making sure I’m not entering into purchasing one that’s some cursed model with heavy known issues etc. :) Maybe I’ll just end up persevering with this thing a little longer, see if it behaves itself. :) I wouldn’t be hesitant about a new MBP if I knew I was potentially getting another decade out of it, but... them’s the breaks, I guess. I have consoles for gaming, so as long as it can do the creative stuff I like to do on it, my needs and demands on it don’t really increase terribly; once I get revisions of software I like and work for me, I don’t necessarily need the latest versions of everything.
