Bump your new MacBook Pro Up To 8 GB
It seems that Apple has been messing with us, as they have started to offer an 8 GB memory expansion for the 15-inch MacBook Pro. They’ve been telling us the MBP can only go up to 4 GB of memory but now we know they’re just jacking with us. Or maybe they have been building up the excitement for 8 GB to get us to pay this for the upgrade:
Hey, that’s what the bail-out checks and AIG bonuses are for, right?

Get two of these and a refurb Mac mini or a Dell Mini 9 for the same price, or just pocket the difference.
LMAO! 1,500…you have got to be kidding!
I can understand $500, but daaaaaamn!
Im thinking of getting a MacBook Pro myself…as soon as I get my tax refund. LOL
There are no doubt people out there who would seriously pay $1200 for 8GB of memory. The fact that you can buy a whole laptop for that price with 8GB of memory hasn’t crossed these people’s minds, or that maybe you can get that memory upgrade elsewhere for hundreds less, dare they not pay the “Apple tax”.
It’s these very same people who consider themselves experts with money to spend, yet end up looking like idiots when somebody with considerably better knowledge shows them what they spent $3000 on can be had for $1400. That’s usually when they give you that stare that says amazement and stupidity, and they retreat somewhere to hide their ignorance, never to be seen again.
Must be a typo, $120 seems about right
