[QUOTE="huy, post: 640053, member: 53556"] Trust me, I'm not rich. But I can get my money through summer jobs and work study, etc. I've stuck with this rip-off Sony VIAO PCV-RX580 for the past 6 years (?). But I've been thinking, assuming the first reply is correct and I plan on keeping my laptop at most 4 years. I have 2 choices: Keep 1 MacBook for 4 years, throw leave it lying around, and buy a new one. -$1400 (1st MB) -$1400 (2nd MB) - 4 Years. Net Lost: -$2800 Buy a new MacBook and sell old one each year. -$1400 (1st MB) + $1100 (Sell 1st) -$1400 (2nd MB) + $1100 (Sell 2nd) -$1400 (3rd MB) + $1100 (Sell 3rd) -$1400 (4th MB) - 4 years. Net Lost: -$2300 I know it's not at all accurate, but it does seem to work out for me. Aside from the fact that in the first situation you'd have a 4 year old MB lying around which is probably worth the extra $500? [/QUOTE]
