where are located?

that is a pretty good price i would say... cause if you look at the student price in the states, it's 1799 for your base model... u added ram and apple care, so that's a good price...

welcome and enjoy ur new toy

Yes thats a good deal. The base MacBook Pro is $1999. add the extra RAM and apple care and you're at $2474 before tax. You definately save some scratch!

Maybe its just me, but isn't that the sort of question you should ask before you buy something?



Congrats on your new Mac!

LOL !!

 

[kpritcha13]

Lol, thanks. Yea I know I should of asked before, but I didn't find a better deal, plus my schools return policy is really good, so I can always return it if there is a better price out there.

I guess I'm asking if anyone knows of a better price than the one I got.

Also, what do you guys think is the best P2P program?

Going to answer my own question (I think) it doesn't look that good as a spanking new with a similar spec is not that much more, I'm now assuming the 41% is from the ORIGINAL price not the price you could get one for now, does that make sense?

VA Tech at least you may find joy in your mac in a place full of sadness, good luck man.
