Well, college campus bookstores are selling older generation 15.4" MacBook Pros for $1099-$1199 depending on the model you want. I'm holding off until day after tomorrow to get mine, so that I can use the deduction next year (hopefully they still have some by then!) but it makes me wonder what is coming down the pike from Mac.
Their current models I'm not happy with, losing a FW400 port but a friend of mine with a 17" older gen, says when the newer 17's come out in a few weeks they're supposed to be really, really good.
I guess we'll see.
