I tend to buy a new Mac on my birthday, and this year is no different… Though this year it came from Microcenter versus the Apple Store.
17″ MacBook Pro, 2.3Ghz I7, 4Gigs of ram, 750G HD.
While I was at Microcenter I picked up 16Gigs of ram and a 256G Samsung 840 SSD to put into the new laptop. Apple ram and drives are simply too expensive and I can get better parts cheaper and just install them myself.
