As you may remember from earlier posts, within the next 3 weeks I will finally be purchasing my new Macbook! I had to wait until early June in order to do so for two main reasons. First, my current Macbook’s warranty expires in June, rendering the laptop useless in the event of a repair situation lest I be forced to shell out $400 on a drive repair or any other overpriced issue, and second, because WWDC is the first week of June and there are sure to be some cool announcements like spec upgrades and perhaps the new snow leopard operating system (which I got confirmation on from an Apple employee.)
I have the money in the bank and all my plans have been set, on Saturday June 13th I will be making a visit to the local Apple Store to buy my new 13″ Aluminum Macbook. I plan to get the higher priced model with the 2.4 gHz processor and the backlit keyboard, max it out to 4 gbs of Ram and go for the 250 gb hard drive. That along with the AppleCare Warranty should set me back about 2 grand, but it will be soo worth it!
Well, if only things were that simple! Actually, right now I am tripped up over a few major details about my purchase- mainly, my case situation. I have been looking around the internet and trying to decide on accessories for my new mac. Should I go for another pink hard shell case? If so, which brand? Should I get a new sleeve case for it, which color, what material? Do I want a new tote bag for it and which style should I go with? Do I want another tote style or should I go with something a bit more utilitarian?
Well, hopefully in the next few weeks I will be able to answer some of these questions and make a few purchases to set me up for the arrival of the new Macbook! So, the following posts I am dedicating to my search for the perfect accessories! Feel free to comment and leave me tips on different brands of cases and different styles of bags or other miscellaneous accessories I might have overlooked. This is going to be a long and gruesome process but that is the price we pay for the perfect computer!
