I guess I should start saving up — sucks being a student! My 1.83Ghz 2006 MBP does everything I need, but I cannot help wanting one of the new ones! :D

- pmjordan 18y agoMacs seem to have an absurd resale value, you could always try to sell it.
- unalone 18y agoYeah: they apparently devalue extremely slowly. Depending on if they do release a new 17" MBP or not, I might look into that. If I can sell my 5-month-old one and make back my money, it would be a pretty neat deal overall.
- tptacek 18y agoIf that's true, I'm surprised. We go through Macbooks like they're disposable. The case cracks, the keyboard gets unspringy, the screns sometime flicker, PMUs die. I love them, but "low maintenance" they are not.
- pmjordan 18y agoI don't claim to understand why, but looking at recently sold Macs on eBay you'd think they'd stopped making them.
- bretthoerner 18y agoSome are surely unsatisfied customers, but a lot of old-rev Macs go on sale when the shiny new ones come out (there was a flood of sale listings on my local craigslist today). People need to blow their cash on something, I guess.
- DougBTX 18y agoTrue for early MacBooks, though all replaced under warranty.
- dmix 18y agoWhen I open Photoshop on my MacBook it sounds like the fan is going to break off (it spins fast). I would like to get a new one, but I was thinking about just getting a Mac Pro for the heavy work at home and using the laptop for school/travel.
- thehigherlife 18y agoi have a similar setup and i'll never look back.
- Tichy 18y agoI thought the Mac Pro is really noisy. I sent mine back.
