Hey guys,

well august is approaching fast and I'll be back at WPI to continue persuing my education as a Robotic and Biomedical Engineer (double majoring).

over the summer I was unable to find job so I have pretty much no cash and I have been selling off guitar stuff for book money.

I am in need of a laptop badly, my ibook G4 1.33GHz isn't gonna work for me, It gave me trouble in CS cause it couldn't run eclipse

so I'm looking to get a grant to buy a Laptop for skool.
I'm looking to get a 17 inch macbook pro because I need a huge amount of GPU power for solidworks and CNC work that I'll be doing in my ME course first term

so does anyone here know anything about laptop grants?
I am having trouble figuring out these things
if worst comes to worsts I can take out a loan for the laptop but I much rather find a grant.

I live in MA and that is also where my skool is so if you guys know anything please help.

and no "you don't need a 17 MBP " crap trust me I do my friends have crashed comps equipped with Nvidia Quadro cards doing solidworks stuff and I also plan to be running Logic Studio 9 in this box too.

so if anyone here knows about laptop grants please help me out thanks

There is a 15" with the same card in it. Its only $200 less though.

I needs 17 screen , I honestly could use the extra size
also I want the ability to upgrade to 8 gigs of ram in the future
I also want the bigger battery

all from the apple store

your looking at $3,200 best

I know where to get it dude
and it will cost me $ 2,946. I don't plan to buy it with 8 gigs I plan ti upgrade the ram later when the machine starts to feel its age.

I need to find out about state grants that I can apply for to get cash

Question??

not to seem racist.

but there are several different grants that are give out to people of diffrent nationalitys you might look into goverment grants a few of my Add challenged friends get 3,000 a month from the goverment by just sitting on there can's

and they are not on social security eaither

what sort of peoples do these racist grants apply to?
