Second besides the apple website where is the cheapest place to buy one and/or get the best deal?

Thanks in advance.

If you are a student, you can use an educational discount and get a rebate for a printer and an iPod. So that is a really good deal.

there will always be new technology around the corner, but for the most part, you might see slight processor bumps, but not a TOTAL redesign. but you shouldway until WWDC is over to get a mac, they'll be introducing snow leopard and who knows what. and try macmall.com cheapest prices i've seen when itcomes to apple products

 

[bussinessilicitos]

This sucks, can I atleast get some money if I sell the parts or something?

 

[bussinessilicitos]

Cwrite what's WWDC

 

[cwrite78]

apple's developer's conference. where they announced the iphone these past 2 years. they don't usually announce hardware but you never know. imhoping for OLED screens and possibly (and a reach) some blu-ray options. mobile internet would be awesome also.

 

[bussinessilicitos]

Don't Mac's already come with LED screens?

When does that conference take place? Will the free touch deal still be in place?

Macbook Pros do.
WWDC is from June 8-12 this year. The Buy a Mac, Get an iPod deal lasts until September 8, 2009. Most likely neew iPods will be released a short time afterthat.

 

[bussinessilicitos]

Thanks man, will the new ipods be available for the promotion also?

Sorry for all the questions.

that's backlit LED, not OLED. OLED has a sharper picture, consumes less power, is brighter and crazy thin.

 

[bussinessilicitos]

That would be nice, I guess ill wait so I can get another Macbook.
Still kinda piss about what happened.

this could be caused because you need to run more RAM on your Mac.

 

[bussinessilicitos]

If I let it dry for like a day or two, and take it to the apple store what are the chances they still find out its water damage.

I mean just bring it and and be like there is something wrong with you computer and not tell about the juice incident, and you have a warranty and theydon't see the water marks, you should be good.

I may be buying that...some good looking apps for the price ^^^

 

[retroisback2008]

Yeah the spring MacUpdate would be the GOAT if it came with Candybar would make that the total package.

But for most of that, you would need more RAM on you cpu, because the standard that you have is 2GB is Candybar by its self takes up a lot of space.
