[MBZ] OT Macbook Air price drop

2008-11-15 Thread Loren Faeth

I see today Macmall (PCMall) has

13.3" MacBook Air 1.6GHz 2GB RAM 80GB Hard Drive MB003LL/A

Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6GHz, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM, 80GB PATA HD, 13.3" TFT 
WXGA, 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard

MacMall Part#: 7373085 Platform: Macintosh
Mfr.Part#: MB003LL/A


for $1150.  That is a big drop from $1800

I just got a g4 Powerbook, so I won't be buying one.   However, if 
anyone is interested in a G3 ibook, mine will be for sale.  It has 
worked great for email web browsing and occaisional m$ office 
work.  It has M$ remote desktop client, so it is my winders laptop 
also.  It is almost as small and light as and Air, but not 
quite.  Unlike the Air, it has a cd/dvd player/recorder in it.

I think if you've got the money to spend, this Christmas season will
present some real bargains.  Retailers are shaking in their boots about
the economy.

The MBA dropped in price because they just refreshed it.  You're looking at the 
original version, which is no longer in production.

As for price drops, don't count on it.  Historically, Apple has never done it.  
They expect a crappy first quarter (you should have read their forward-looking 
statements in their recent quarterly financials) so they'll be bleeding off 
inventory and building little in the immediate future, I'm sure.  In fact, the 
trades were just buzzing last week over purported cutbacks in order to some of 
their Asia assemblers.

I bought mine in 2001 when it was at about $12.

I'm adding to the shares I have purchased over the years, much of which was 
below $20/share.

Heck, the last big buy I made was a couple of summers ago when it was at 
$50/share.  I'm still waaay ahead of the game here.

Sounds like the 733Mhz G4 Quicksilver with the 15" studio display I have in our 
spare room.  I rarely use it, but I just can't bear to part with it.  It's such 
a cool machine and will still do a lot, even though it's got OS X on it.
