Apple MacBook MB063LL/B

$1,777.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
finally with some understanding that my $1,500 computer had problems and that it didn't matter if it was at home or at the store for a week they let me drop it off.
from www.amazon.com
purchased this ibook as a gift for my son who lives 500 miles away.
from www.amazon.com
sure, but not as eagerly and only after i checked out one of those sub-$500 windows notebooks that seem to be in every big box store in america.
from www.amazon.com
if it was a $500 laptop i probably wouldn't care, but it's double that, so i do.

$1,701.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
one thing i would like to talk about is the cheaper model, that is $500 less.
from www.amazon.com
the inspiron comes with 4 at $1,500 and not even the 17" model comes close with only 3 usb ports available.
from www.amazon.com
for $500 less, the lower-end 15" model has 128 mb of video ram (instead of 256), a 2.2 ghz santa rosa processor (.2 slower) and a 120 gb hard drive.
from www.amazon.com
yes, you could always purchase the doubled memory (preinstalled is $700/separate is $500) or you could save your specific files on usb memory drives!
from www.amazon.com
you can buy the same hardware in a computer that is $500-$600 from dell.com look at the inspiron or business lines to see what i mean.
