If anyone wants to buy my laptop for $3k, I'll give you a free iPod too.

Which laptop is $3k?

If you outfit a MacBook Air with a solid state drive you can bring it up around there.

That said, it sounds like the typical knee jerk Apple/Mac reaction. If you buy a Lenovo/HP/Dell they don't give you a free iPod, or even a Zune.

When did they drop the $700-800 upgrade to go 4gb of ram? I swear I was looking at these just a month ago. $180 is... reasonable. It's still a grand over an identical machine I got from xoticpc.com though.

We have a bunch of Macs/Mac Users where I work, and we're always giving each other a hard time. So yes, it was a knee-jerk reaction for me

What's blatently disgusting is how they say "Buy a Mac for College and get a free iPod," but the picture LOOKS LIKE AN IPHONE!

"*Buy a qualifying Mac and iPod with your Apple education discount from June 3, 2008, through September 15, 2008, while supplies last, and be eligible for a rebate up to $299."

Admittedly the iPod touch looks just like the iPhone, but still. I hate marketers.
