Update: it just arrived. I checked the tracking at 7:18 and it was still saying ready for processing so I went to the kitchen to grab some cheeky ice cream, and then there was a surprise knock on my door! Delivered at 7:21, and after double checking the tracking they’ve retroactively marked it as on board for delivery in Tullamarine at 7:12 (definitely wasn’t there before). I’m a lot more than 8 minutes from tullamarine. I’ll be honest - I jumped when I heard the knock. And yes, it came through startrack not auspost (although in my mind they’re still the same thing)
Not complaining though, that was bloody efficient. I mean look at this!
What kind of laptop did you get? I want to get one for school bc my current one won’t work without being plugged in lol. Still technically a laptop, but not portable haha
I got an MSI Thin A15 “gaming” laptop. I specifically went with this one as it seemed to be the best at that price point and had a dedicated graphics card.
Although it’s a “gaming” laptop, I fully intend on rocking this to school. I’ll turn off the RGB keyboard, and maybe tape an apple logo over the main one (although it’s not RGB and fairly discreet) or something. It’s got a metal case and full size HDMI out + ethernet, so I don’t see why you couldn’t rock it to school. Then again I have a friend whose school only permits MacBooks, even though they aren’t school provided or managed. So I guess YMMV
