    I sold my old unit on Amazon in one day for $70. So the net cost to upgrade was ~$35-40 (factoring in amazon commission).
    I've had trouble with the NBA league pass on it (not mine--I've tested it on my friend's a few times). The stream is really glitchy and there is a significant lag. I'd suspect it was the internet speed, but it's streaming at 28mbs--plenty fast.

    • Anyone have a Macbook?

      I'm thinking about this one:

      I like the specs better than the Air.

        Don't buy it. There is a new model coming out any day now.

          As Jeff mentioned, it should be refreshed shortly. Nevertheless, buying through Amazon should be a good money-saver -- not only do they offer a discount but the lack of sales tax could mean another $100+ saved.

            Fo' real? Thanks for the heads up. Will it be within available the next 2-3 weeks? I've got a hard deadline because work is paying for it.

              My work is buying it, but they won't pay sales tax. Thanks for the heads up.

                Good to know. I've been looking at upgrading from my current MacBook.

                  Some rumors say mid-April. I read an article last week saying that MacBook sales are way down because everyone is holding out for the new one. The new MacBooks will be more like the current Mac Air line. Search back a page or two in this thread.

                      • Analyst report today mentions release of the new MacBook line in early third quarter.

                        http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/23/...h-macbook-pro/

                        I've been waiting 6 months for a new MacBook, and I wish it were coming sooner than July or August.

                              I can't remember where I read it but it stated the new iPhone would be out in June. Probably crap.

                              • "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
