MacBook Pro Pricing Error on Apple.com?

Because when you click on it, it sends you to the proper Apple store, where the baseline model starts at $1999.
Too bad. Would be a fantastic deal, otherwise.

no..thats the starting price
and below is what is listed as $2799
it also says up to 3.2
That's true Eric, but in the EA section it says 2 3.0 dual core, it doesn't say STARTING with the single 2.8...it's misleading. If you downgrade to a single 2.8 w/less ram you'll get 2299.
HOWEVER, there is no way to get 1699 for a MBP at the STANDARD apple store, so WHAT is up?
The Mac Pro specs are also wrong. It says 8 cores standard, but it only says it comes with two 3ghz dual core xeons. And it is the old graphics card.
That's a excellent catch. I'd definitely bring it to Apple's attention and try to score a new current model base MBP at that price. One possible thing this $1699 may be referring to is in the "Clearance" section of the Apple.com store where a new previous model base MBP is going for $1699. Otherwise I'd say this is a pretty big goof from Apple, wrong price(s) and wrong Tiger screens.
@DMC-12: If you're in the market for a new Penryn MBP for $1699 then you'd better call Apple before someone else does!
