| 539509 | 2007-04-10 10:33:00 | Righto $ 4749.00 That should have taken pride of place in the "review" Still, I supoose money is like Jam up there in high society auckland. If you had bought a Windows notebook with those specs you would have had enough left over for a week in Fiji.... Bejeezuz- you spent that on a Mac for the missus? :eek: I have to say it- I have absolutely no respect for anyone who blows that amount of money on a hunk of plastic... even if they do live in Auckland... actually even less if they work for a computer mag. I swear the world has gone mad since Metla joked about his 'buy' :horrified Well hey, I hope they gave you a damn good discount ! |

More likely it is a business purchase (check out Mrs Bartley's occupation), so tax deductable ... ;) | Jen (38) | ||
| 539512 | 2007-04-10 10:43:00 | So Mrs Keall went for the 2.33ghz MacBook Pro. Pity she didn't buy it in the US, they are only US$2499 state side. Unfortunately the 15 inch jumped a lot in price after the last revision. The 17" used to be the cheapest of all 17" laptops at about 4,500 NZ although it couldn't run 3 different systems. | winmacguy (3367) | ||

| 539514 | 2007-04-10 10:50:00 | Cool, I'll have one then and be... cool :D Get a day job as a software developer and you could charge it as a work related expense, and be cool at the same time. ;) |

Of course, I'd be happy to be told Im wrong. 1] The editor of PC World does not have a Mac. Nor does his wife. 2] You guys are wose conspiracy theorists than the Mac fanboys (and that's saying something). |
