Yeah, it's the MacBook Pro. And it was top of the line. And it was
about three grand. And I don't know if it's justified, but it wasn't my
decision. She convinced her roommate to upgrade also, but I don't know
what she got, except that it was a new Mac laptop. They both have old
Mac laptops. My daughter had a perfectly good top of the line
powerbook. My daughter and her roommate both love their new computers.
They are gamers, which might explain part of it.
