[QUOTE="nko, post: 7309"] A lot of people tend to suggest just spending the extra money. I'm a uni student, too (well, went back to a CC, but still expensive, especially since I have a baby boy on the way). For us, there's no such thing as a couple hundred dollars being worth it; it's all just out of the question. If I can save up $1500 after bills for school, I can afford to live and also afford a $1000 iBook (not that I'm in the market). No, not the $1100 iBook with more RAM, just the default $999 one. After that, my shopping list is diapers, ramen, TP and milk for the next paycheck. After that, I'm fine. Extra RAM? Doesn't fit. Budget's absolutely too small. This is just me, though, and I'm not in the market, and wont be for a long time :) Him, though, he doesn't likely have a baby to worry about, so money's only more flexible to the point where buying the iBook wouldn't make him feel a world of guilt, but just a little hunger for not-cheap food for a while.
