Apple has quietly lowered the price of MacBook for students from the previous $949 student price to $899. This is a full $100 off of the non-education price of $999. What’s even more mind-blowing is the fact that Engadget is reporting that some customers are seeing the education pricing of MacBook as low as $728.
I personally checked to see if I could buy one of these at $728. I couldn’t, and no one else I asked could either. This is a mistake on Apple’s part. I’ve never seen an Apple product’s price that doesn’t end in “49” or “99”. So, $728 seems like an odd place for Apple to stop at.
There is now little reason for people in college to not buy a Mac over a junk PC. This new price brings MacBook well within range of the rest of the computer industry. Granted you can still buy a cheaper notebook, but, you get what you pay for.
