Well he does seem to have his evidence in order, perhaps they didn't want to charge more for the 17" MacBook 'Pro' than the base Mac Pro

If you read the fine print on the link you provided, the pic was from the Canadian site.

Ah, after further inspection the $2999 ad is from the Canadian store.

EDIT: and the Canadian store still has the 17" MacBook Pro for $2999, yet the MP starts at $2899, WTF?

The gap seriously narrows out once you factor in the 13% sales tax (at least here in Ontario).
