unless she’s paying for it…

Depends on how much you want to spend. For a desktop, the only options worth getting are the 24" 3.06ghz iMac with the 8800GS or a base model Mac Pro with the 8800GT…

Both cost about the same, the Mac Pro needs a monitor.

iDump.
give it a week and she’ll be fantasizing about steve jobs while in bed with you.

Oh, and if you think you can get off cheap and get the Mac Mini… Dont bother, its a little on the expensive side for even a mac, and has no keyboard, monitor, mouse… And if she really wants a mac, and she does, she will want to complete the experience with a apple monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Thats another $800 minimum, so just get a iMac and a jobs bobblehead, and be done with it… Until a new model comes out.

Laptop and between 1500 and 2000

HAHA

Someone get a picture of BuickGN in the Apple store

dude i was there saturday, i felt so out of place.

You let your girl use a computer?

How does that cook you food?

Oh… Laptop?

Well you dont really have a choice in that price range. Get a base model Macbook Pro. No real need for 4gb of expensive ass mac memory, and the 15" is a good size for daily use, stock HD works fine, the 7200rpm one is worth it if you want to drop like $200 on it. If you have a ā€˜student’ with a student id… You get $200 off, so its $1800, and then you give the iPod Touch to the ā€˜student’ with the student id. You can get the $100 printer.

Oh wait… Im a ā€˜student’, i even have a student id!

When do you want to go?

she cant cook

hmm macbook or macbook pro

figures id have choices

The Macbook runs crappy Intel integrated graphics and is a bit bogged by even flash games, so it shouldn’t be a option compared to the price of a base MBP.

And the MBP has a backlight keyboard, and thats nice.

Kevin, if she’s interested in a decent deal let me know I may be selling my Macbook.

Shes getting a macbook pro

I think I might fall into this next month. I played with one and I am liking them more and more. I need a 17" screen tho.

I felt the same way. I thought there was going to be violence when I had to talk to one of their asshats in the ā€œgeniusā€ tshirts.

Dump her before it’s too late…

ahahah i didnt talk to anyone, but i laughed when i saw the genius center in there

:lol:
