Just in case anyone was in the market, need to wait until next week.

Oh, backroadrunner is gonna be PISSED!!! She just bought a Toshiba laptop last week for about that price, even though she wanted a Mac. She was having a hard time justifying the higher price. D'oh!Black eye

OOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooohhhh.

Zoom, you can get refurbished macs for around $1k. That's where I got my almost 2-year-old MacBook.

I am going to have to give in and get one of those shiny new Nano's soon. My iPod "classic" is pushing 4 and having some issues.

Personally, I think a Mac laptop is great if you aren't on a tight budget and want to drop 2500 bucks on a nice 17" macbook pro and run multiple OS on it. You can get a refurb 13" macbook from apple for 850 in their online store, but you are way better off spending that 850 on the HP of the week at Best Buy.

You always have to clear you and your friend' s tech purchases through me. Tongue I've known about this for at least a week through the tech rumor mill. Sorry I didn't post it. Evil grin
