Im finally starting to catch up with the times. LOL

My daughter is always buying the latest in Mac lap tops. She doesnt keep one very long because as soon as something new comes out she buys it.

She got a new 17 inch Mac Book Pro so I just bought her 15 inch Mac Book Pro which I think is only about a year and a half old.

It has 2.33 GHz with an Intel Core 2 Duo Memory is 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

I got it for 500 dollars. I guess thats a good price as I dont know a lot about them.

Anyway Im very happy to finally have one.

Check out the latest parts and accessories from Truck Hownd

wow, what a great price, I think those things are around $1500 new. Probably $2k for her new 17"

Enjoy! I've never had a mac before. Is this your first?

My daughter paid 4K for the new 17 inch Mac. She had it custom built with a lot of hard drive space and speed.

I think she paid 3500 for the one I bought from her.

Jotto Desk is a notebook computer desk for you vehicle. I have a Jeniko brand desk to hold my laptop in the truck.



There are a couple more pictures in my gallery. I use it when we take a road trip, for navigation, mostly. With a data plan added to your cell phone service, you can access the Internet while on the road.

Yup.

I got this one because it mounts using the existing seat bolts. I did not have to drill any new holes. Plus, when it is not needed, the whole thing comes out in seconds leaving just the 2 brackets in the truck, out of the way.

Lynn,

That is a great deal...let me know when she decides to sell the new one.

I just bought my first Mac lap top and I am running both XP Pro and the Mac OS on it and I love it. It runs so freakin fast.

I am sure you will like it.

I will let you know. She goes through computers like I go through a pair of jeans. As soon as a new computer comes out she updates.

The reason I got this one was because she got the new 2.6 gig htz duo core 17 inch one. I got her 2.3 gig htz duo core 15 inch one.

She has had as many as 8 computers and was actually teaching mac usage in her home for awhile but like everything else she gets board and moves on to something else.

They have 4 Macs now. The two kids in school have their own for home schooling as its a company on the internet where they get their lessons from.
