FS: Apple Macbook 899$ During after hour sale.

[Freebee1]

I think this is a great price for a brand new Mac Book, its most likely last generation, but its 250$ cheaper then Apple Store, its actually same price as a refurb from apple.ca

It's still small. It's still sleek. It's still the coolest kid on the block. The only thing that's different is that it's faster ¿ at everything. With speeds up to 2.4GHz, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and more hard drive space, it's the fastest, most-versatile MacBook yet.

Just wait people.
They're expecting prices to drop more now because retail sales aren't going to be so great this year.

You guys have heard, there's a crisis going around the world, it's about the economy.


(really it's a big cash grab by the international bankers), but still, sales are way down, they'll have to adjust accordingly eventually.

Not a bad price for someone looking to buy a Mac notebook. However, be aware that this model is the 2.1 Ghz one, and that it does not have a DVD burner. RAM is not a big deal, because it can always be bought (cheaper) from DirectCanada.com/NCIX.

Note, the one on the Apple Store has a SuperDrive.
Still a good deal though.

Prices will go down, but because our exchange rate is making USD more expensive, I have a feeling it will balance out.

People not purchasing due to waiting for prices to drop even lower is killing the economy. SPEND people SPEND!

Spend only if you can afford it.

When is the sale? As the price still shows $999.

.. you're telling the wrong people.

if you haven't noticed. this is RFD we look for DEALS.. and if we know there's a deal coming...

WE'll WAIT!

For those who are not sure, this is not the current-gen MacBook as the specs indicate that it is equipped with the Intel graphics chip. Still not too bad a price...for a mac.

Steve Jobs' has a pretty strong philosophy - pick the pricepoint, and hold to it. You can offer more for the same price (product upgrades), but you don't lower the price (iphone 3g is a notable exception). It's very unlikely that prices will drop... Apple tends to raise the specs when it wants to be more competitive
