Yeah...Apple has such a stranglehold on the Mac hardware that you're hosed. Either pay what they want or buy a Windows or Linux laptop.

For real. You'll spend a lot on a Mac, best you can do is look for a refurb or something: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPL...85&PID=2153270

I'm happy with my Acer, you can get the same specs as an HP about $100 less.

Re: Laptop hunting....

I was looking at mac's when I was buying my laptop but they weren't worth the price. I got an HP that was better than the macbooks for about $1500. Of course I had a student discount so it'll cost you more but you should still be able to get a laptop that's comparable to the macbook for much less from HP, Dell, Sony, or somewhere else.

Re: Laptop hunting....

There are definitely no deals on Macs. I know because I just bought a Mac book pro. I basically went the route of trying to get as much bundled with it for the original price tag.

The only deal to be had on Macs is if you are student you get $100 knocked off the price if you buy from Apple's website.

www.macmall.com has some rebates and extras you can get with it.

DV9500t. I didn't get the worst parts either, I got either the best or second best of each component.

I know gateway is old news and I'm not sure if there any good anymore, but if you go to best buys website they have an awesome specx wise laptop, I can't find a way to link, it's red, 250gb HDD, 3gb ram, specs are great, but like I said I don't know about gateway.
