SLVR6 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 It appears Dell isn't the king of cheap laptops anymore. Actually, i speced out a Latitude 620 with similar spec to the MacBook 2.0ghz and Dell was a little cheaper still, now insight camera though, but a 14.1" screen vs 13.3". Just not as nice looking either! If the Dell had not been on sale (which Dell's always seem to be) it would have been about $50 more thought ($1350 vs $1299). Kudos to Apple for pricing the MacBooks (with good processing power) at an affordable range! My wife is seriously considering ebaying her Thinkpad (R40 Pentium M 1.3 Ghz) and getting a MacBook.

Colonel Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Mac prices might go down with Core Duo prices dropping http://www.digitimes.com/mobos/a20060518PR209.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17874-macs-are-cheaper/#findComment-116499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 Yeah, the Core Duo chips are fairly new and as such, they are kind of expensive. We might get a price drop as Intel prices drop. Or Apple will keep charging the same price and then we'll wonder why Dell is selling CD laptops for $2.99 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17874-macs-are-cheaper/#findComment-116736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
