Apple Macbook Pro

Last night I looked over Karen's xmas list and realize there is nothing really good. Nothing considered the 'big' gift. We'd been back and forth about a new laptop for her but she's been a bit wishy washy on it. So after a comment about how much she got me I went online and into Best Buy. I know. However they were close, had Mac people on staff and it looked like the 17" MacBook Pros were in stock. So I drive over at 9:30pm at night and talked to this guy who could be mistaken for Jesus if it wasn't for the blue polo shirt. He knew his stuff and answered all my questions. Then came the decision between the 15" and 17". They only had a 15" and it look small against my 17" and Karen's 17" laptops. I asked about the warranty and decided to get the 3 year plan until I heard the price. $450!!!!!! Holy Shnikes. However, knowing where Karen uses the laptop and our 2 year old's desire to be into everything we need a no-questions-asked warranty. So I call Karen and lo and behold the 17" wins! I walk out of the Best Buy with a 17" macbook Pro, iWork and a wireless Mac mouse. I was the envy of all the geeks. This is Karen's laptop so I hope she takes good care of it and takes a bit of time to learn how to use it because my Apple skills are about equal to hers. None. If this works out well I'm getting the desktop version next year though.
