canyonwalker: Mr. Moneybags enjoys his wealth (money)

I've been waiting to replace my laptop, a MacBook Air I've had for now... 6.5 years! When the M2 MacBook Air was announced several weeks ago I decided it's time to upgrade. This new version is literally what I was waiting for... even though it's not everything I was hoping for. (The inclusion of an SD card slot would've made it 💯.)

The new Air went on sale for preorders last Friday. I didn't rush to place an order because I was on vacation and it's not that urgent I replace this machine. But this week I'm back at home, so on Tuesday I went to Apple's site and started speccing out my machine. Before I pushed the "Buy it now" button I realized... I need a new credit card first! 🤣

Okay, so I don't literally need a new credit card. I have several already I can purchase the machine on. But it's a sizeable purchase, and I'd like to get maximum value from credit card points for it. That means opening a new credit card with a big sign-up bonus, and using this big purchase to go a long way toward meeting the spending requirement.

I applied online for a new credit card and was accepted right away. The card should arrive in the mail mid-next week. Once I've got the card I'll order my next laptop. Between now and then I think I might visit an Apple store to see one in person. The machine are supposed to be in stores tomorrow. I figure that although the machines are sold out for a few weeks at this point the stores will retain a few copies to use as demo models on the floor. I'm curious about how the new non-wedge shape looks as well as whether the "midnight" color looks more blue or black
