Stevie didn’t announce a low priced MacBook the other day, but since he did launch new hardware, the older, but still capabile, models are dropping in price. Take this 13.3-inch MacBook for example. It only has 2.1 GHz Core 2 Duo, 1 GB of ram and 120GB hard drive, but what else would you expect for this low of a price? Throw some more RAM in there and you have a great deal. A $75 rebate drops the $944 starting price down to $869 and it comes with free shipping. Sure, it doesn’t have a fancy pants glass trackpad and might be made out of *gasp* plastic, but it’s still one hell of a deal.
