I got a MacBook

Its official: I got a Macbook. I bought one like some 2 months ago and didn’t have time for a post.

Bought the basic $1099 MacBook.

And by the time I am posting this to my blog Apple has updated the MacBook lineup and you now get a 120GB hard disk instead of the mere 80 mine has and a 2.1GHz processor instead of a 2.0GHz and its the new Penryn lineup from Intel, launched only this Jan.

And if you didn’t know, Apple offers discounts for students, $100 off on all MacBooks and $200 off on all MacBook Pros at the time of writing, go to the Apple online store. Don’t go to the Apple retail store to know about student discounts because people who work there sometimes have no idea what the exact student discount is on a specific product and they just tell you the amount they know which might not be true. I had a really bad experience while buying my MacBook and I had to go to the store 3 times to buy and get the right discount. I wrote about how Apple screwed the student discount on my MacBook.

I was in a dilemma weather to buy a MacBook or a Sony VAIO or a Dell. I didn’t research on the lineups of other brands, but i found some interesting laptops from these brands. But the reason Why I chose a MacBook over the Dell and the VAIO is the design.
