They are VERY overpriced. Apple's products are ALWAYS overpriced. You know why? Because they can. That's exactly why I won't buy a Mac, EVER. Unless I have too much useless money laying around of course.
Agreed, I was just lucky to pick up a mint-condition MacBook Pro 2.4ghz w/ 2gb ram for only $350
Someone who needed money ASAP was selling it. I got the laptop, charger, and a crappy case. And right now, it is burning my lap this thing gets so damn hot!
