Apple MacBooks on Sale

Apple slashed prices on its MacBooks. A white MacBook listed for $999 in the Apple Store is now $899.99 at Best Buy. Other retailers have slashed their price on the same model by around $100.

This means only one thing. Apple is getting ready for Black Friday.

No, no, no. That is not what it means. It means new and improved MacBooks are on the horizon. Don't do MacBooks for Christmas unless you really need an Apple laptop. As soon as you get the one for sale now, Apple will release another for the same price or less, and you will feel the same way I felt when I bought my iPod Nano only to see a new wave of Nanos on the market three weeks later. They cost the same as what I had bought, but they had an extra gigabyte of memory.

I also made the same lamebrained mistake with my iPhone, and I knew better. I didn't care though. I lost my other phone and I wanted another one stat. I couldn't wait. The next time I buy an Apple product I will vet like crazy. I will check Apple message boards and read all of the websites devoted to all things Apple. You should do the same.

Regardless however, in spite of the slow Safari browsing on my first-gen iPhone, in spite of the fact that the 3G network iPhones are night and day faster than what I have, I think it is kind of cool to own and use an original iPhone.
