I researched power inverters, figuring that I can charge my Macbook while
camping. It turns out, as far as I can tell from the user reviews, that the
affordable inverters (even some less affordable) don’t satisfy a PC’s AC
quality requirements. There are happy customers, but the reports of

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a MacBook. Seems Best Buy has them for a few points

I'm wondering if Apple or any retailers ever have sales on MacBooks?
Black Friday?
Any thoughts?

I have to say. If an update breaks your key software then you need to
manage your damned updates. All os' have the ability to do this. Just
implement it already.

You make some really great points. I can attest in an enterprise

such a challenge. Esp when you need to import MS Certs for AD
authentication. I use Linux at work and so far I can get 90% of my work
done. Anything else I have W

I would seriously consider getting older MacBook Pro (2013). If you compare the
specs there is not too much difference. You can get some good deals off of
Craigslist.

The mac hardware is pretty durable. I have older macbook pro's (first and
second gen mobile i7's that are still very viable with just a battery/hd
update in them.
I have to say, you pay a huge premium on the hardware, but it is really
quite solid.
