I'm not sure what the question is, really, but Apple has never made a (RRP) $600 laptop. If I was shopping for a new mac laptop today, I'd be after the 2010 13 inch MBP (they look to be about $800 refurb right now, so I might leave it a while, or shop around). Failing that, I'd go back a bit further and get one with the 9400m. Anything post-intel graphics would do me, and for that sort of money I'm sure a deal could be found.
Isn't the new base MBP still only $999? Which is a bit shy of the $1300 I assume you were going for On 24 Feb 2011, at 19:43, Fluxstringer wrote: > New MacBook Pro Laptops are out which is a problem in itself. > > So we have seen some concern here for mac laptop users who have > concerns about staying wiht Mac this week > > The question is exactly how much can one expect from a $ 5 - 600 Low > end Mac laptop? > > What shounld one look for?
