Do you know when the new apple laptop will be released?
Some are saying in January, because that's when the convention is. Do you know when the new apple laptop will be released? Hopefully sometime before august of 2010? (because that's when I start college). Thanks!

Most likely in January or February. They always release before students go off to college. If you wait until early summer, you may be able to get a free iPod touch, if you buy from the Apple online education store.
2 :
apple still trying to fumble around with its new Intel processors, the mac operating system is not something a student should use, i would honestly reccommend a windows based laptop, but if you have to, wait untill the convention
3 :
I'm a student and i find Apple OS and Mac's SO much easier to use, as it is nicer and my files are quick and easy to find. And i would say around Feb-Middle of next year, i got mine last christmas but it had been out for a few months (the Aluminium). Good Luck, and welcome to Apple my good friend.

The most likely chances with a budget of $400 for a Mac, is either a broken one, used crappy condition one, or you can't get one. Macs range for about $1000 - $1500. Having it being used, cutting off half price doesn't even make it to about $400, most likely be it $500 - $800 if it was used, since most days, everyone cleans it and refurbishes it, to make it as best as possible. Some people even clean the hard drive. However, even if you did have the money, I wouldn't recommend a Mac. Why? Well, Why would you pay extra for a PC that won't be able to do a lot for you? Macs are meant for only Internet browsing, making documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), and for taking pictures, and making movies. Those boring stuff. At your age, I'm most likely sure that there should be more entertainment in your life, and if not, then I'm very sorry to say, you have a boring young-teen life. But if you like to have fun making charts on Excel and practicing to spell and write on Word, then by all means, go get a Mac. If you seem like you won't be having fun graphing, then go with a PC. PCs can do everything a Mac can do, however, Macs cannot do everything a PC can do. Don't get a Mac. Besides, you don't even need to follow the crowd. Get the better. Why follow the crowd when you know you'll end up with the lower. So, from here on, I am going to trust that you are getting a PC. Now from which manufacturer should I get my PC from? - HP, Dell, or ASUS I really recommend HP and ASUS, however, you'll most likely find cheap ones from Dell, however, just do know that Dells will not last you long. If you'd like a cheap Dell, yet sort of good, go with the Dell Inspiron 15. Just use your computer wisely, saying, treat your computer how you want it to treat you. Well, the three given brands, I'll give you a little info about it. HP - Entertainment, Gaming, Work, Online Browsing, Powerful Speed and Performance, plus many other things.. Basically call it an All-In-One PC Manufacturer. Another great benefit is that, they can put all this into portable sized laptops and, furthermore, make those laptops look stylish and great. Dell and ASUS - They are very similar because they each create PCs separately for each and different categories of PC usage. Meaning, they build one for gaming, one for entertainment, one for work, etc. -Dell - Dell can overprice many of their products, and is a reason why I would rather go with ASUS. Dell doesn't fail however, I still tend to not like them. If you're looking for an average computer, they're best computer, yet, is their Aspiron 15. You won't need their Alienware. -ASUS - I like ASUS and HP. ASUS can make great computers and they can even make All-In-One PCs too, depending on how you treat their computers. They do make great gaming laptops, great entertainment PCs, laptops used for only work, or they can make all-in-one's, but not as great as HP. ASUS's gamings laptops, are built with many great parts in the market to give you a great gaming experience, for why they call their gaming laptops Gaming Laptops. I found some cheap laptops from HP, that are pretty good, however, you will need to pay $25 for a webcam, since this laptop comes with only a microphone. And I also recommend getting all the free upgrades. The HP G60t Series: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Category&v1=Everyday+computing&series_name=G60t_series&jumpid=in_R329_prodexp/hhoslp/psg/notebooks/Everyday_computing/G60t_series It's a very good durable laptop, and it can outplay the Dell any day. I recommend you to buy it, since also the Dell is $399, while this HP is $394, (if you include the webcam upgrade) That's about it and I hope you take my advice I hope I helped too, Good luck! =)

well, the simple answer is that if your trying to get a brand new mac, you cant. at least, not with that budget. apple computers are extremely expensive. the two options you have are to A) gain a larger Christmas budget somehow or B) buy a used mac from a friend or online. the usual trend in apple users is to buy a new laptop, use it for a few years until its outdated, sell it online for slightly less than its original price, and use the money to buy a new, up-to-date computer. if you do buy a used apple online I would recommend newegg.com. it usually has any item your looking for (but especially computers and computer accessories) for decent prices. just have your parents look over the reviews and choose an appropriate purchase. . but personally, I do NOT recommend buying a used apple because you cant upgrade apples. once they're out of date you cant buy new parts or software, you have to buy a brand new one for a large sum of money.

Is there any reason why I should buy an Apple laptop directly from Apple
Is there any reason why I should buy an Apple laptop directly from Apple vs. an authorized reseller?
I'm looking to buy a new Apple laptop, but I've noticed the prices rarely (if ever) get lower if you buy directly from Apple (either online or at a store). But I have noticed places like Macmall.com and Amazon that sell Apples for less and they are authorized by Apple. Is there any downside to buying from a reseller?

There is no reason to not buy from Amazon or other such retailers. As long as those retailers confirm for you in writing that they will honor the warranty then you're fine. You can still add Apple Care (extended warranty) if you buy from a authorized reseller. You might want to consider a refurbished laptop from the Apple store. You can get some wicked deals there. And they go through intense testing. I know lots of people that buy from there and have no issue with the gear (and save a bunch of cash). The brand new MacBook and MacBook Pro have a nice fancy new case and a slightly better graphics card, with a minimal processor upgrade. But, if you go 1 gen back from the refurbished ones you can save as much as $1000 (MacBook Pro 1 gen old, 2.5GHz, 250GB drive, 2GB ram, 512MB GPU, for like $1499, but the same one with the current gen and its like $2499). Good luck.
