looking for 13" or 15"? and what do you plan on doing with it?

for 1750 i'd go with a macbook air probably. once you start using an SSD you'll never look back.

any good recommendations for stands for MBPs? i'm trying to find something to keep mine off my desk
debating between the 12south hi rise and the rain design stand

12south

rain design

Newest MBP is the retina displays.. i waited for the 13 in but for 300 more decided on the better "deal" and went with the 15 instead..

good call. IMO the 13" isn't worth the money at all. and my retina has a hard enough time pushing the native display, the 13" doesn't have a dedicated GPU so it probably struggles when you push it too hard. $1700 for dual core and a 128gb SSD

My charger broke today after a year and a half, and I had to drop 80 on a new one Any tips on making sure it doesn't fray, it frayed at the top until it finally broke

Anyone else have problems with IMATCH.. hate how you lose some album covers and how hard it is to replace em.. oh well still great being able to access all my music from my 16 gb phone

Mine was fraying for the longest time and I wasn't trying to drop 80 on a new charger, I called apple back in Oct and they told me they would replace it for free. So being the lazy man that I am, I finally went in on Wednesday and they replaced it in like 10 minutes. I would go to your local apple store fam.

I did bro, but homie at the genius bar was telling me to bring my mac in too. I don't have a whip so making this trip on the bus with my mac for them to tell me that they weren't definitely gonna replace my charger for free was outta the question. I just gave in an bought the charger I'm out of warranty and never bought apple care if it matters

Damn they just looked up my apple ID to find the serial number and I also was out of warranty with no apple care.

No I got it replaced for free.

So what exactly is "Other" on my iPhone? It's taking up almost 2gb of memory on my phone and was wondering how I can get rid of it? Or should I leave it because it might be important?
