    Default Open FNB account and get Macbook Pro MD101, pay x24 no interest. Worth it?

    I'm thinking of picking this up since I do need a laptop, but as it is an arse load of money, I'd like to get some opinions on it first.

    R527 x 24 they said, no interest. That comes to 12 grand. I want to play Guild Wars 2 on it, but dunno if it can handle that:

    Intel Dual Core i5
    500GB Hard drive
    4GB DDR3 Ram
    Intel Graphics HD 4000

    Hmmz

    it's worth it just to open an FNB account ^_^

    but that's A LOT of money for that spec, you can get 'n better laptop for less than that

    I wouldn't do it but then again I wouldn't go mac because they are so overpriced. Normal pc/laptops are a lot cheaper for what you get.
