I don't think it's worth it if for $100 more you can get a current-gen MacBook. I think it would attract those who are trying to save the most they can and just need a computer and could care less of the hardware differences.
 
not bad though, but you can get the $50 off the new ones with education discount which makes it a nice deal. But if they let you take $50 off the 899 then same difference haha =)

I'm just really curious as to how soon they will get in the new MacBooks.. returned previous gen macbook to them after hearing about this one finally releasing. Thank you premier silver member for 45days + no restocking fee! hhaha

Yeah, for $100 more you could get the new Macbook without firewire. Or, you could get the same machine that BestBuy is offering from the refurbished Apple store for $50 less, when it pops up. Or for $100 more you could get the last generation 13" Macbook Pro from the refurbished store, with firewire, backlit keyboard, etc.

All depends on what you want.
