My local Apple store has a returned left-over 17" PB for $1800. Good deal?

sounds like a good deal but is it beat up?


Ask them to open the box up first if all seems well then it would be a good deal!

yeah, I agree. Although, if you're a student, you can get the new 15" powerbook for the same price new from apple. Same screen real estate in a smaller package with a brighter screen and DL superdrive. Just something to consider...

If the Apple Store near you charges $3600 for a 17"PB, you might want to consider going to another one....

I have not seen it yet but it should be in good shape. One of those that were returned within 14 days.
