I think that colorware will still color the mba. Computers stick around a lot longer than cellphones. How long has the current version of the macbook been around, at least 2 years? I guess it also depends if you have applecare.

Sweet, I'll have to check out that site. I actually got a 3-year extended warranty that covers physical damage but it's not through Apple. The employee actually told me that in 2.5 years I can literally just destroy the computer and get a replacement for no charge. Plus he said that in that amount of time the MBA is probably going to be even more svelte and improved so I'll benefit no matter what.

What school do you go to Kelley? I completely forgot about getting graduation gifts for college, it seems like yesterday I was having my high school graduation party.

I would only do it if I came into a bunch of money all of a sudden, and I bought it from them. (because then at least It would be under warranty through them)

Not bad. Goes with the car...

But if it took Kelley weeks to get her iPhone back, can you imagine how long they would keep my only working laptop? (Actually, I have 3 lime green Clamshell laptops in perfect working order, still looking new. But have you ever tried watching a Flash movie on those?)

I go to Cal State East Bay (formerly hayward). I think I would probably only get something from my parents, maybe my hubby will pitch in

Well, it says the same thing about the mba as it did with my iphone "shipping approx 2 weeks". It would be safe to say that you would be without your computer for close to a month (including the time it takes to get there).

Were you talking about the ibook? I wanted one of those SOOO bad when I was young. Those things were awesome!

I supposed I could make that dream come true

you know, you could sell those on ebay for a few hundred each, if you wanted to! I know it might be hard to part with them.
