So I've called a few Apple Stores and my university's tech center on revised pricing for the old MacBook Pro since the announcement of the new ones.
Prior to the announcement, my school was selling the 15.4 MBP with 2.4 GHZ, 2GB of RAM and 200GB HD for $1499.99 for students/faculty. But she said the prices may be revised again tomorrow once they get more information.
A lady at one of the Apple stores told me that the same MBP would be discounted to $1599.99 and with an education discount, would drop another $200 to $1399.99. The other two stores said they didn't know or that they didn't think they'd do revised pricing at all.
I'm skeptical on the $1399.99 price...especially since the other two Apple stores said they didn't have that information yet. Has anyone heard otherwise? I'm torn because I was hoping for price drops all around, and I wanted to get a new MacBook, but $1249.99 is a bit steep, so if the revised prices are low enough...thought I'd just shell out for the old MBP (I like the larger screen and the keyboard better)
Anyone hear any news on this yet?
