    So how did he hook you up? Do tell. I know apple products are usually none negotiable. Congrats on the laptop. We're big apple fans ourselves.

    I've got a 5 year strong MacBook and 2 iPads. You can't go wrong with far superior apple products. Thinking about upgrading to a MacBook air.

    I got the i5 13" Macbook Pro about 4 months ago, with a Time Capsule and new iPhone 4S, and I am not going back to a PC. I like my desktops that run Win XP, but my laptops will always be Macs from now on. Enjoy.

    Also check out Newegg for the 8Gb of ram from Crucial or Kingston for about $35, I still have the base 4Gb, but plan to upgrade in the next few months.

    If its an ipod just hook it up to itunes and click on the restore tab/button. You will have to redo your playlists ect. NOT SURE about the iphone since i dont have one....... yet. You'll pick up quick plus if you search there is a huge online knowledge base.

    My 13" MacBook Pro is still going strong after 2 years. Couldn't ask for anything better. AAFES is starting to sell them on base and gives us a good discount and of course it's tax-free.
