The computer is officially exploded.


So the question now is this: MacBooks -- going from a 1.83 GHz to a 2.0GHz processor and from 60GB to 80GB HD: Worth $350?

Or, huh: It looks like you can customize them, so I could stick with the 1.83 GHz, but jump up to 1GB SDRAM (from 512MB) and 100 GB, for $300.

Anyone? Bueler?

The bus speed is the same on both. *sad*

However, it turns out you only get the DVD burner when you up the processor, so that looks like I might be springing for it. I think I'm probably going to jump to 80 GB, but not 100.

Also, I've installed RAM myself, on my last laptop, but that resulted in the great computer crash of 04, when I had that bad RAM that corrupted my entire hard drive. Which was not fun. It's possible this is just paranoia on my part.

(One of the parental units seems to think that I should consider repairing the laptop and buying a desktop, because it's only a few hundred dollar difference. I'm just rather afraid that something else on it would kerplode before I got the $800 worth out of it.)

OMG, I can't believe my laptop is dead.

Also, I don't quite know why people would be willing to pay MORE just because it's black. White is much cooler anyway.
