4k for a laptop Forum

[motiontodismiss]

just throwing this out there but i believe that apple does a 10-20% off for students sale in august/september. i think last year they even gave a free ipod touch with purchase. does anyone know if this is for sure? i remember getting an email last year.

Students normally save around 10% or so all year on Macs, but they throw in a free iPod during the summer (usually June-August). And they did just update the MacBook Pros.

But I'd still save some of that money.

They also throw in a printer (or $100 towards one) on occasion. That's basically the best you'll get with Apple.

lol Open Office

i guess if your school has great larp and you're set on ten years of PI then why not go to town with your loans and live it up in law school. I saw you spend your three years in law school having fun with loan-financed caribbean vacations before slaving away in the public defenders office for 10 years. worst plan ever.

This is a bizarre post... Which part of your suggestion is the "worst plan ever." Most of it seems like a great plan for someone interested in PI/PS...

Don't waste money on a gaming laptop, they are overpriced for the performance you receive. You can buy/build your own desktop for gaming for under $800, pay $800 for a decent laptop and still save the $2400 you would have spent on high-spec laptop.

TITCR...although a gaming PC might cost a bit more than 800...

nah, just built mine for around that much and it can play pretty much any game available on highest settings

economy just made tech stuff a LOT cheaper lol
