What a Mac!

I'm using it to blog!

My newly owned gadget - Apple iMac. I have been wanting to own this for a about a year; Googling the Net all the time to find out how other users comment about it. Of course, saving (financially) enough to get one was something to be planned.

I was supposed to buy one in August during the PC fair. Not because of the cheaper price, but for the extra freebies. Hehe..... :p However, rumours from the Net said that Apple was going to upgrade the existing model. So I decided to wait and see. Few days later, the rumour turned out to be truth.

Since there's not any stores in Ipoh selling Macs, I had to either moving North to Penang to buy one, or getting down to KL. I was once in Penang, but because of the tight schedule, I didn't have time to visit one of the stores.

So, when I had the time to get down to KL to look for one, sadly, the cheapest model that I was looking was out-of-stock everywhere. I did actually call a few stores to check. Guessed it's just to popular and people just couldn't wait to own one.

Until one week ago, a guy put up a post in cari.com forum, wanting to sell his iMac, exactly the same model I wanted. I contacted him and found out that he's just bought it for 5 days. 5 DAYS. No joke. His reason: would like to own an Apple Macbook Pro instead.

RM4200, come with extra 1Gb Ram and Windows XP Pro (legal). What a good deal; since the list price for that particular model was RM4799. I made the decision and dealt.

I went down to KL just to meet that guy, pay him and get this iMac back to Ipoh. If you happened to be in Mid Valley Megamall last Sunday, seeing someone carrying a bulky box, it's probably be me. :-)

A+ for the display, speakers, built-in cam, Wi-fi, ...... It's just so much user friendlier than PCs. Everything is ready and nothing much I should worry about. I'm getting the hang of it. Now, I don't have to see the Windows for the whole day anymore. Windows for works; Mac at home. Nice.

P/s: I'm RM4200 poorer now. I couldn't pay by Credit Card installment.... :(
