Apple MB466LL/A 2.0GHz MacBook 13.3" - Aluminum

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz / 2GB DDR2 / 160GB Hard Drive / NVIDIA GeForce 9400M / SuperDrive / iSight Webcam / Bluetooth / Extreme WiFi / Mac OS X Leopard

Machined from a solid piece of aluminum, the new MacBook is thinner, lighter, and more powerful than ever. The streamlined enclosure slides easily into backpacks and briefcases and is stunning in any setting. Open your MacBook and you’re instantly greeted by glorious full screen brightness. The brilliant, ultrathin LED-backlit display provides instant full screen brightness and enhances any media viewing experience. Power your way through the 3D environments of Quake, Call of Duty, and Spore. NVIDIA delivers discrete-level graphics with up to five times the performance, so you can immerse yourself in faster, smoother, more lifelike 3D gameplay. Click anywhere on the all-new glass Multi-Touch trackpad—the spacious, smooth surface doubles as the button. Multi-Touch gestures now come to the MacBook, so you can use your fingers to swipe through photos, rotate an image, and pinch to Zoom in and out. With the new four-finger swipe gesture, access Exposé modes and toggle between open applications. Inside the new MacBook is a powerful Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 2.0GHz with an increased 1066MHz frontside Bus and next-generation 1066MHz RAM. That faster Memory lets you quickly and easily manipulate large, complex files and keep more applications open at once. All of this with a full-size Keyboard at just 0.95" thin and 2 kg, MacBook is truly the next generation of notebooks.

RTF thread...
5990 gives you the brand new ALU MacBook 13.3",
NOT THE MBPro...

[SandyBear]

Ok, last chance. Not sure why this is not working out, I thought this would be the right forum with knowledgeable and informed MAC users...
BUT.....
Now selling the Brand New MacBook ALU 13.3" at cost price of
5700 AED
.....or I will have to bring it back to the Apple store.
Last chance ends today, Friday, Oct. 24th.

PM if interested...

All of us are of course MAC users but we're also Mac users Seriously though, I don't know why people aren't more interested. I would be interested myself but I have one on the way already.

It might be a good idea to think about how you write your posts. "RTF" and "I thought this would be the right forum..." are not exactly complementary to the rest of us

The retail on one of these is 1300 plus tax, right? so 1400? (Assuming San Fran tax) so around 5,150 AED. That is cost.

Sandy bear, the fact that this is the Mac forum means that most of us already have an up to date mac or 2 (or 4 in some cases) IMy iMac is what, 6 month's old, not in the market for a new computer for at least another year.

And I agree 100% with what Magnus said above.

I think you need to be a little patient.
Keep in mind that many people may have already placed orders for one.
Others prefer to buy directly from ABM.
Some people need to wait for the Arabic keyboard.
Also for some people, they can get a better price (before your latest price) through EMUG and student discounts.

Another thing is in a scope of 2 days you dropped the price significantly.
This leads to two notions:
1) What is wrong with this?
2) Maybe if I hold out he will drop the price further.

I know you said its brand new.

Also try posting on Souq.com

Edit:
Also many people here prefer to get the full spec'ed machine.
