RAM it

I’ve got a 15″ macbook pro. It’s got 2gb of RAM which does not cut it a lot of the time when I’m at work. About a month ago I went in the Apple store in Pacific Center and asked how much it would cost for an upgrade to 4gb of RAM. They said $200. I thought that was a reasonable price at the time as I was busy and didn’t want to worry about anything. I just wanted it done. I went back a couple days ago to undergo the surgery. They guy came out with the RAM and said it would cost $400. I said WTF? He said “well, it’s a $200 upgrade for new laptop purchases”. I said screw you. I then went to futureshop, picked up 2x2gb for a total of $70 and had it installed with no issues in about 6 minutes (it took me 5 minutes to find my small philips scewdriver).

Apple: You make cool shit, but why you trying to screw me? You charge almost 6 times the price of the RAM. Even if you charged $100 for the 2 minutes of labour, you’re still overcharging by about $230.

Yay to a fast laptop again
