I'm ordering my new 15" next tuesday, as I'll be out of town this weekend. I'm also eager and filled with anticipation. I'll probably be financing it through Apple Store credit with the intenton of paying it off in 6 months (I just can't shell out $3000 at one time!), has anyone ever bought any Apple stuff this way, any experiences worth sharing?

Hey Pk,

Over the years (many many), I've always just mailed a check to the BTO division in Austin TX...do you teach or tutor or anything like this...you can use the Apple Ed Store. Hell, you may even qualify for home schooling...check it out, set up an account...

Do you know any teachers?

Wow! That's a great tip, thanks for notifying me, as I do know a few teachers. I'll check out the Apple site for details about this, you're basically saying you can get a break in the price if you can prove that you use the Mac for educational purposes?

Thanks again!

Well, not exactly...as a counselor & private tutor I've been purchasing thru the Apple Ed Store for over 15 yrs...what I'm saying is there are perks for Education.

You are allowed so many " personal purchases " per year...as well as educational discounts...it's all good

HTH...

I have used the Apple educational discount through a teacher before and had no problems with any financing.

How good do the powerbooks work being there 4200rpm? I thought you had to have at least 7200?

I'm trying to decide on either an ibook or an powerbook.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

FWIW, you can have your Powerbook ship with a 5400rpm drive if you wish. However, most people use an external Firewire drive for all their audio tasks. Since I got my LaCie D2 nearly a year ago, all I keep on the system drive is the OS. Everything else is on the FW partitioned in three sections - sessions, samples and general audio (mixes, mp3s).
