While most of us are basking in the glory of the MacBook today, Phil Michaels, in the Editor’s Notes blog, is unhappy about the price. He thinks it’s about $100 too high :
I recognize that the MacBook boasts some impressive specs-really impressive specs for a compact notebook. But for a healthy chunk of the people in the market for such a laptop, price is just as important a spec. And the same folks who might happily fork over $999 for a 12-inch laptop might balk at paying $1,099 for a 13-inch model.
Any speculation on what will happen to the remaining stock of 1.83 ghz MacBook Pros? It doesn't appear they are selling them on The Apple Store (except refurbished). Would they be likely to be discounted until current stock is depleted?
I would second that, especially without a graphics card. It makes me give serious pause to buying one. I might wait until the MBP gets cheaper used. I really don't like Apple direction of going towards intergrated graphics again.
