I drive myself nuts when I buy a big item. Â And yes, I’m classifying the purchase of an iPad into the big item category. I was gung-ho about buying one this week. Â I was about to leave the office on Friday when I went to the iStore’s website to see what specials they had on… based on the advert I’d heard on the radio. Â Couldn’t find any specials on the iPads even though their advert said R1500 off… so not sure what that’s about.
But anyhoo, then I got thinking, this is actually an expensive item, and what did I need other than the iPad? Â So here’s my list of things that I want and/or need and should probably buy before I get an iPad. Â But first, this is the iPad mini that I want:
I’m looking at buying the iPad mini 32GB with wifi and 3G. Â The price: R6,399
I’ve basically decided on the iPad mini because I won an iStore package on Rattle and Mum’s blog a few weeks ago, and included in the parcel, was the most gorgeous BookBook cover for an iPad mini.
And here’s the list of things that make up the same value:
1. Lensbaby Composer Pro with Sweet 35 Optic = R3800
2. Â King size down duvet = R1350
3. Â Brown boots = R699
4. Â Elie Saab perfume = R595
OK, that wish list wasn’t that long after all… meh… maybe I should just get the iPad.
Can you see how indecisive I am? LOL!
Those boots are so you!
PS if I didn’t have my ipad first, I would have been happy just fine with my iphone. Many days I don’t even take out the ipad – I maybe use it about 3 days a week.
I’d rather have all that stuff than an ipad
Have you written down ‘why’ you want an ipad?
I think (well for me anyway) i just want one because they’re cute and nifty and everyone seems to have them, and they’re far easier to lug around than a laptop.
But do i ‘need’ one? No.
And i’d rather have all those goodies than another computerish item.
Id rather have all that stuff, those boots are stunning
I use my ipad all the time but I know you have an iphone and I would then rather go fopr the ful size iPad as the mini is not that much bigger than the phone and really, they do a lto the same things
