Macbook Woes
I ordered my Macbook on Friday as you guys know cause my HP laptop started tripping.
Hours ago at WWDC, Apple announced new 13″ Macbook Pros to replace the aluminum 13″ Macbooks with better specs and at a lower price!!!
The ironic thing is that a friend of mine was thinking of buying an iPod touch and I told him to wait for WWDC because Apple might introduce a new iPhone (and consequently maybe a new iPod touch, but the former happened and not the latter), but for some reason I didn’t think about WWDC when I purchased my own laptop.
While WWDC was running, the Apple Store was down for the update, so I couldn’t check the status of my order and I knew if it went out I won’t be able to return it or replace it because it was a custom configuration. It was nerve wrecking.
I instantly checked the store right after WWDC finished and found that I still had the option to cancel my order, so I instantly did! AND IT GOT CANCELED.
I guess just I got lucky.
It will take about a week for them to refund me my money back, but I already ordered my new Macbook Pro this time. My original order was now at a lower price and had more features, so I thought I’ll upgrade the harddisk with a bit more space as well.
It will still take about ten days for it to be delivered to me. I think I will be able to survive.
I updated my HP’s BIOS firmware today, and my laptop somehow seems a bit better, but the problem is still there. The feedback I received from HP suggests that it is a problem that will require servicing the laptop. I will deal with that once I get my new one.
