22 Feb 06 Buh Bye 15″ PowerBook
It had to happen sooner or later. Apple has pulled the 15″ powerbook from it’s online store (even the Educational store). You can still get it on the Special Deals section for $1599Â at 1.67Ghz 80gig HD. This is the most recent version of the PB when they went to DDR2 and higher screen resolutions.
I say for $200 more you get dual core, faster processor, iSight ($150 value), Front Row + Remote ($30 value), brighter screen, and the cool MagSafe power connector, PLUS it is new vs “refreshed”….go for the MacBook Pro.
Don’t know how this will impact the Apple event next week, but I’m sure they will tell us how well the MacBook Pro’s are doing. It’s going to be an exciting Tuesday.
