Even when I got home things were going pretty smoothly. The setup of both devices was a breeze, though the 13" screen resolution was a bit disappointing. It all meant nothing when the power cable snapped into place though - a simple magnetic connection and I was all smiles!
Next was orienting and setting things up. Coming from a Windows world I automatically felt a bit out of place. No 'home' key? No 'end' key? No mouse?
But then came Tuesday... things were going so well. I mentioned to a coworker that I got myself a Macbook Pro on the weekend, and he said "oh no - they just announced new Macbook Pros today" and my heart sank. I no longer had the latest and greatest! In less than a week! I went from techno-high to buyer's remorse.
The next day I called up the Apple store and they said they didn't know about it until Tuesday themselves and would let me exchange it. By Thursday they had stock so in I went, and upgraded to a base-model 15". The delta cost was only $250 and I ended up with a larger screen, higher resolution (1440x900), improved processor (i5 instead of dual core 2), and about 100gb more hard drive. They did it! They restored my techno-high, didn't give me any grief about the exchange. That's how I want to be treated in every store I enter. Thanks Apple.
So now I'm back to immersing myself in the new tech. Let the good times roll.
