what the next thing is that you shall buy from Apple or for your Apple product?
iDon'tKnow.
Then think
I guess a new Macbook Pro in 2-3 years? Mid-2010 one right now and apparently they don't last as long as the old powerbooks. I would quite like an Apple display. I applied for student accommodation today and one of the incentives is a free iPad 2. I don't see myself having use for it, but more so the £300 I would get from selling it.
I was thinking of getting a Macbook Pro but I cant decide between the 13 inch and the 15 inch.
[QUOTE=hugek1ll;31493300]I was thinking of getting a Macbook Pro but I cant decide between the 13 inch and the 15 inch.[/QUOTE]I don't see much point of a 13 MBP now that the Air is refreshed and so powerful. What would you be using it for? I'd push for a 15".
Internet browsing, work, films and music

so I would need Super Drive and a good hard drive so 64GB and 128GB will not hold much. I would also use it the MBP for photos to.
Getting a Mac Mini at next pay day so it fits well on my desk and into current monitor as second input and probably the same with keyboard and mouse using a KVM.
For work unless you have a boner for languages like Ruby on Rails you're better off with a Windows PC.
Me, I'd say honestly my next Apple product will be the next truly significant iPod refresh.
Probably a Mac after my current one dies.
Perhaps a rugged charging cable for my iPhone.
Could someone recommend me a versatile one?
nothing.
every singe apple product i have bought has broke in some way or had some damaging design flaw
I shall now list all of them:
2007 mac mini - Ethernet port broke
2nd gen ipod touch - after being super careful with it the back got very scratched up only after a week before a got my case for it
ipad 1 - constantly forgot my wifi password, apple blamed my router but the issue only occurred on my ipad, other people were in the same boat as me.
iphone 4 - yellow bloch on screen, apple said it goes away on 2 days but it stayed there for a month, got a free replacement
iphone 4 replacement - its one of the faulty ones that drops signal rapidly after touching the infamous black bar
iphone 4 bumper case - got it for free but it scratched up the aluminum band on the phone, google this for many instances and photographs of this design flaw
macbook pro 13 mid 2010 - sometimes the magsafe charger wont work unless i wiggle it around for a bit. sometimes i forget to check the charging indicator resulting in me needing to go to school in the morning to only find my battery near dead
no more apple stuff for me, shame because i like some of their things but i just cant risk it anymore
Most of those issues are well-known ones. Just gotta make sure you [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1111047-Hackers-can-now-make-a-MacBook-blow-up-in-your-lap.]research a product before you buy[/url]
Probably Lion when they sell copies at retail. I would love to have it on my PC.
When are you going to get scammed next?
The 15"-17" macbook pro, I guess. I'm probably going to get it refurbished though.
A refurbished iPhone 3G from O2, when I get a new phone.

Tempted to buy the new Macbook Air, But lion is a sluggish pig on startup.
I'll probably get a 15" MBP after my current 13" mid 2010 dies
but for now I'm fine with this one. Thinking of updating to lion though.

Lion might be indexing your files. I get no lag as soon as I start up.
Their next phone with USB mass storage and expandible memory... Oh, wait.
the macbook air is quite possibly the best laptop i have ever used in every way
people gave it shit for not being the same as other netbooks but they blew netbooks out of the water with a computer that's just as portable and powerful enough to be a real laptop
and now there's no plain macbooks, just airs and pros
A new case for my iPhone. Any one know some good buys for good protection at a decent price?
try [URL="http://goincase.com"]incase.[/URL] They are a little expensive, but they are quality.
Maybe Lion in a few months, and I'll probably get the iPhone 5 whenever that comes out.
I just got myself a wired keyboard to go with my macbook pro along with a mini display to hdmi converter and a short hdmi cable so that i could hook my macbook pro up to my monitor/tv hybrid for ergonomics and saving space on my desk. (I don't go to school this year so i'll be using it as a desktop computer.
Anyhow, i am not sure if i like this monitor for use with my mbp. Everything looks fine but the text looks dirty from up close, and it's hurting my eyes i think.(clearly a budget screen. Everything looks slightly grainy because of the texture on the screen itself as opposed by my clear matte anti glare screen on my mbp)
So plan 2 is getting a stand for my laptop. Probably a Griffin Elevator Laptop Stand.
If anyone here has experience with some (cooling) stand i'd gladly hear it.
Something beginning with i
Actually iLied, it's an aTV
I bought my dad an Apple TV for Christmas, it was one of the biggest waste of money I've ever spent.
