I paid $3,000 for my MacBook Pro and got emotional whiplash.

Yes, I know, I’ve already reviewed Apple’s new laptop line, the MacBook Pro.

But that was when they first came out. When I had a review unit supplied by Apple (AAPL). Before I spent $3,000 on my own, suped-up, top-of-the-line 13-inch MacBook Pro.

I know: That’s an obscene amount of money. But this is my main machine, my livelihood. If you add up the hours, I spend more time with my laptop than I do with my bed, car, or home. I figured it would be worth the splurge.

As it turns out, that’s a big Yes and a big No.

Life with this thing has been a roller coaster: one emotional whiplash after another. “Cool!” “Oh, NO!” “Cool!” “Oh, NO!”
