wow, I bought one less then a week ago for £2200 and now it costs £1999 and has more stuff... did I just gifted them £200 or if I complain I might at least get the new model? EDIT: thanks all, yes I remember asking the return policy is 14 days. I will do that.

If it's less than one week you could probably return it and get a refund or the new model.

Not sure what the return policy is where you're located. But in the US, I'd just return it within the 14 days and get the new model.

I am sure it is still under warranty and you can bring it back to where you bought it and decide to get cash or beefier.

  Want to know even a funnier thing? I don't like Apple at all, the last product I bought was an iPhone 3G because I didn't like their business practice but I gave in to the mbp because it's a nice machine and I wanted to expand myself instead of keep developing only on Windows. Guess I was right when I decided to ditch Apple.

    >Guess I was right when I decided to ditch Apple. You came to the conclusion that you "were right when you decided to ditch Apple" because they just put out newer, better models that the one you just bought? Sure makes sense...

      Of course it makes sense. Other manufacturers don't release new products until their current line-up is thoroughly obsolete. The way they achieve that is by releasing stuff that's already obsolete on day of launch, but you can't argue with the ethics!

        I've been living in the future with my Surface Pro for a while now. Apple won't catch up to that until they can lock down the supply chain.

        I guess one man's dystopia is another's utopia? Because I'm in the latter ;) I think Apple has brought us closer to dystopia than anyone with their hardware + software lockin monoculture. At least I can move to other hardware vendors if I don't like Microsoft's hardware. If I want to run OSX I have to buy Apple's hardware (and I do when I have to, but I certainly don't enjoy it).

        What do you find so amazing about the Surface Pro btw?
        WorldWideWayne 12y ago
        I love the Surface Pro because it comes with a "full" (not locked-down) OS running on very capable 64-bit hardware in a 10" tablet and all of the desktop apps that I use work great with touch input. (The hardware is i5/4GB RAM/128 GB SSD.) In addition to all the Windows software that I run on it, I also have a small Ubuntu Server VM within the included hypervisor. Can't wait until the Surface Pro 4 comes out, that's when I'll probably jump to the Surface Pro 3 to get the larger screen and SSD size.

You thought it was worth the price, so what's the problem?
