The day that Engadget gave Apple a sorta bad review...I think I've died. LOL

No, j/k everyone.

But I don't see why they keep this MacBook around either. I agree they should've at least lowered the price by 100...even 50.
I don't really see why anyone would pick this over a MacBook Pro 13" for just a 200 difference.

They had to give it a bad review.. so they can keep everyone off their backs about hoarding all the equipment, building suspense, saying 'oooh look the Apple store is down!' and then having full hands on with all the equipment a half hour later.

You can buy this new MacBook today for $899 if the price is what's bothering you. Who pays MSRP for anything, anyway?

Yes, that's it -- Apple paid us to build suspense, and the dramatic conclusion to the conspiracy was this review.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go bathe in money before we interview Steve Ballmer live on our show.

Nilay knows how to live it up. Don't forget to scrub behind those ears!

[iDavey Posted Oct 22nd 2009 12:53PM]

Ooooh. I feel special that one of the writers actually responded on MY comment. =]

But I was only being sarcastic for those who take it the wrong way.

And where can you get an Apple product for less than what Apple sells it?
I don't do back alley purchases. LOL.

[iDavey Posted Oct 22nd 2009 12:57PM]

Ooh...and Nilay, can I trouble you for a bar of $100. I ran out. =]

Nilay, you mean bathe in Apple gift cards, right?

[Processing Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:24PM]

You guys bathe will bills?! I just bathe with quarters =/....

Silly Engadget. Don't you know looking slightly better is an innovative feature?

[hey buddy Posted Oct 22nd 2009 5:40PM]

Well, I understand your point, but it is a drastically improved machine with higher specs, for the same price at what was offered last week in this model. That's Apple's formula, they keep improving specs while keeping the price point.

You mean like every other technology manufacturer?
