i know.. iknow! a lot of people ARE Disappointed with the minimal upgrades/updates with the MBP... but looking at the bright side...
the prices for the REfurb MBP has dropped dramatically..
the SR MBP 2.4 dropped from 2499 to 1600... a 35% savings!!

with no major change in terms of hardware.. i think, if you're like me who's just an average user.. this is still a STEAL!!
 
with educational discount one can buy a new Macbook Pro for 1799 and it has same specs like the old one which was for 2499, so buying refurb just 100 bucks lower doesnt make sense!:eek:
 
reg macbooks 850-1050...now that's a steal considering there were minimal upgrades there
 
Yeah, $1,449 for :

2.2GHz C2D
15.4" screen
2GB memory
120GB hard drive
8x SuperDrive
8600M GT 128MB

isn't too bad in my book.
 
Definitely! According to Dealmac, there was a MBP model at $1299 (of course sold out very quickly). Probably a 2.16 or 2.33? Still, for anyone thinking of a refurb'd MBP -- I highly suggest you check that page every morning first thing...you never know when the next 'refresh' will be, though Tues/Fri seem to be popular days.
 
nice price for blackbook

i saw that 1049 price too. good deal for a blackbook. the premium over the whitebook or similar specs is only $50 for refurb. if I didn't just get a used macbook i'd seriously consider it.
 
Yup, I looked at the refurb page this morning to see the deals and I was very pleased to see the prices but when looking at their graphics card they only have 128mb of graphics card memory so I am gonna wait till summer when these new mbp are at a very cheap refurb price.

i waited too long... i'm giving myslef 4 hours to decide..
my condition for waiting for the new MBP was a full Hardware overhaul.. but since only the innards were updated.. i'll just save my money.

i was actually in the store earlier.. about to buy the macbook mid range.. and then i saw the LED screen of the MBA... that got my attention... and held me back.

$1299 - even if it is a 2.16 - is a VERY good deal. The 2.16 will do most people very nicely. Mine's a 2.33, and it does everything I want it to.
