Power Book price drop

[Smoot]

If you type Power Book into the search function on apple's website the price comes up as $2199. What gives?

i think it's just a misplaced graphic. if you look at its file name, you'll see that it's named as 082501.jpg which wud be aug. 25, 2001. what do u think?

I also did a search on Power Mac and it says from $1699 however the name of that file is powermac071801.gif. . . so I'm not sure that date means much . . .

also if you do a search on e mac it says from $999 hmmmm

When do you think they will put DDR RAM into the laptops? Then i will seriously consider getting one.

 

[Smoot]

that would be nice dual proc laptops would be nice too . . .

dual tibook? don't think i'll ever see one? i'd rather see a new line of tibook, g5 chip! but then i guess we won't be seeing it till 2004 or so tho there's a rumor about having a new line of tibook coming up in mwsf.

could this be something like with today's powermac line-up change?? They have a promotion on the powerbooks at the moment (on educational store) and they end on the 25th of September. Does this mean that there will be a change on the 25th???

its $999 at the education store. also, isnt the $2199 (or whatever) the education price? maybe thats what it refers to.

The education price is $2249 that is more than $2199 and how do you expain the price increase on the imac?

Is this the one where you get a hunderd off the low end model, and 150 off the top end? If not, what exactly was the promotion? How do you know it ends on September 25?

Never mind. I see the promotion

it has to be the older model(s), but powerbook is now up for the update...hopefully soon, too

apple needs a 1 ghz laptop just for morale purposes since dell has their 1.4 ghz pentium 4 at $1299 US...that is crazy, even with a chepo-looking black plastic enclosure
