Doxory?

photon has decided Buying a laptop or not. I'll have access to lab computers all summer (which will probably be okay for uploading pictures off of my camera onto an external HD, thought not having a laptop in my room at my summer program may suck according to previous participants). There may or may not be a laptop available for use in the fall when I start graduate school.

Apparently I'm getting a MacBook Pro as a graduation present (well, after new ones are released at WWDC). I ordered a big drive off of Newegg today to backup my stuff until it arrives. Here's to large harddrives!

I picked something else

Buy a MacBook Pro 15" now and not wait for the fall.

madcaptenor: Find out
sintil8: YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
glasser: If money isn't the problem, that is

Get a bigger external HD and deal with not having my own computer for a while, then see what happens in the fall.

kevinr: It sounds like it would be useful now, but if you can wait for a month or so to see what Apple releases in June, you should. :-)
jesse: At least wait for WWDC
perturbed: hmm... dualcore... hmm... totally worth waiting for.

tibbetts: Buy something cheap off craigslist to use for the summer and then sell back.

If you make a stupid choice because a website tells you to, it's your own damn fault.
