Well – I am still waiting! Why am I posting? Well – a few things happened – 1st – I cancelled, and re-ordered my MBA (yeah – that is the lingo MBA). Why did I do this? Well – a friend and collegue of mine said to me “hey Chris – did you know we get Apple corporate discount? You should have used that for your MBA!”. I said hmm… I logged on – checked out my discount – and it was a ~$150 savings. Nice – so – since my order was still “not shipped” from Apple – I cancelled it, and re-ordered it (same specs etc) thus – saving $150. That said – I would have had it by now if I had not done this
.
More … That same friend and collegue came to me the other day and said “Hey – J&R just got a demo MBA, you should go check it out, I saw it – and I did not think it was ’all that’”. Also - I have been debating the idea of getting a MacBook Pro in stead (you know, more beef for the bucks, etc, etc). So – I went to J&R and saw, touched, compared, etc. Needless to say – it IS just what I want. I STILL LOVE my Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet. I LOVE the smallness factor – it REALLY matters to me. I WAS impressed – I will continue patiently waiting. As of now – I will be waiting till the 22nd or so till I get my MBA
So – on goes the saga – I want my (discounted) MacBook Air!
