Was looking online at the apple store this morning. And noticed the really good macbook and macbookpro deals. Thought I would let everyone know. Now if I can just get my wife to allow me to order a MBP for me and a MB for her.......
 
I finally gave in -- bought a refurbed 15.4" MBP C2D, 2.33Ghz, 256MB video, etc. for $2,000. Only regret was not being able to configure the machine with a 160GB HD, so I'll have to make do with the stock 120GB drive. But considering that I was close to buying a new MBP, I saved about $500 when this C2D popped up on Apple's site. This will be my first Mac after many years of PC ownership.


best...aa.

ah, so you bought it! i was thinking about it. very good choice. i'm back and forth between a 2.0 GHz MB and this MBP. you definately get the most bang for your buck! 😎

the only thing that had me wondering was they said it was only firewire 400. but the C2D have all Firewire 800. Maybe a typo.

Congratulations! 🙂

Maybe i pick up the next one.

That is the model that I want too and I also want (need) the 160GB drive. I looked up on the net and the procedure to update a hard drive is not all that difficult. It's easier on the MBP than it was on my PB. You can always go that route.

Enjoy your machine and I hope to my own very soon! 😎
