Since talking won't get us anywhere, let's go right to the sweet spot - today's cheap MacBooks! While the best deals can be had by grabbing one of the 13-inch MacBooks, having a MacBook Pro or the Air for less than the usual pricing isn't that bad, either. Less money for the notebook, more for beer. Hooray!(No, I don't have a drinking problem - I drink, fall down, get up, drink some more, fall down, get up - no problem, you see?)
For starters, Amazon is offering $50 rebates, bringing the 13-inch MacBooks down to the following prices:
13-inch MacBook 2.1GHz (white): $944.00
13-inch MacBook 2.0GHz (unibody): $1244.00
13-inch MacBook 2.4GHz (unibody): $1544.00
While MacMall offers the cheap MacBooks above for exactly the same price, if you don't have any problems with pre-October white MacBooks, you can get one for only $868.99.
Moving up, we find that Amazon can get even more generous, with no less than $100 rebate on the new MacBook Pro, so you can get the 15-inch MacBook Pro for $1864.97(the 2.4GHz unibody) or $2394.00(the 2.53GHz unibody version).
At last, we have the heavyweight models - the Air and the 17-inch Pro, with the first one going as low as $1744.00, for the 1.6GHz model, and $2444.00, the 1.86GHz one.
At last, while MacMall has the Air models priced just as Amazon, they are also offering the new 17-inch MacBook Pro for $2694.00, after the $100 rebate.
These being said, I hope you have the money to grab one of these beauties, especially if your current Mac lineup doesn't include a notebook, or the one you have begs you with every key pressed to be retired...
