| If you're still shopping, Apple released new MacBooks (not pros) today. They're no worse off than comparable notebooks (basically the same hardware), have a 13.3" screen, and with a student discount are as low as $999. If she doesn't dig the white models, the black one is also discounted (it is the "gap model" between MacBooks and Pros, so if she was choosing the Pro off of specs, it's fairly similar). |
