LOL! I have been thinking about getting a MacBook Pro.. I want one in the worst way!
Thereare a couple ways to order at a good price... I found
www.onsale.com had the best price on the newest machines plus free shipping / no tax and $100 rebate. Other options are buying a reconditioned Apple directly from the apple site =
http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/routingpage.html ( using an educational discount ( basic question to qualify is " did you ever go to school?). Apple does charge sales tax, free shipping. Same warranty on a reconditioned machine as a new one.
www.Amazon.com has good prices also but they are a little slow on posting the newest machines on their WWW site. Apple announce a processor / RAM upgrade the beginning of the month and Amazon still is selling second generation machines - free shipping and no tax.
