17" HiRes MacBook Pro (2.4ghz/4gb/160gb) with Final Cut Studio 2 (for $1700 less than Apple Retail)
The backstory on this machine:
This computer was brought in for a Final Cut Studio 2 demonstration. Our total usage time was the 3 hour class plus set-up (10 hours total max). The unit has been fully tested and inspected to make sure it is still up to Apple's tough quality standards.
Details on the MBP:
o 17" High Resolution Screen
o 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
o 1680 x 1050 pixels
o 4GB memory
o 160GB hard drive
o 8x double-layer SuperDrive
o NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 256MB SDRAM
As pristine as the day it arrived, this computer is covered under Apple's One-Year Limited Warranty (see http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/cpuwarranty.pdf) and is fully eligible for Apple Care.
Remote, ac adapter and plugs, DVI adapter, and system software are all still factory sealed.
Details on Final Cut Studio 2:
Final Cut Studio 2 is the must-have upgrade to Apple's award-winning video and audio production suite. With six powerful applications, each designed specifically for editors, Final Cut Studio 2 puts everything you need in a single package:
* Final Cut Pro 6 for video and film editing
* Motion 3 for graphics and animation in 3D
* Soundtrack Pro 2 for professional audio post-production
* Color, a new application for professional color grading and finishing
* Compressor 3 and DVD Studio Pro 4 for digital delivery virtually anywhere — a disc, the web, Apple TV, iPod, or cell phone
This set is complete and consists of the following discs: Install; Audio Content 1, 2, and 3; DVD Studio Pro Content; Live Type Media 1 and 2; Motion Content; and the Apple Pro Training DVD Tutorial. This software is NOT academic and NOT a trial version. It is identical to the boxed set that can be purchased at the Apple Store save for two things: (1) the retail box is not included (discs only); and (2) it is not eligible for support or upgrade to version 3. It is, however, the full and fully functional product, it does not expire, and it includes all of the Apple-produced media, should you ever need it.
What's included:
* MacBook Pro (Leopard and Final Cut Studio 2 pre-installed)
* 85W MagSafe Power Adapter, AC wall plug, and power cord
* Lithium-polymer battery
* Apple Remote
* DVI to VGA adapter
* Install/restore DVDs for MBP
* Printed and electronic documentation for MBP
* All original discs for Final Cut Studio 2, including the tutorial DVD
This item is currently on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110205743983&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=001) for $3298 (which is $1700 less than this set-up purchased at apple.com) but I am happy to consider offers from fellow forum members.
