Prices are pretty cheap right now. I think most people are pretty satisfied with prices with this latest round of new iBooks. I picked up a refurbished 700 Combo 14" for $1349 at smalldog.com the same day that the latest iBooks were announced. I consider that a great value. Sure, I would have loved to have picked it up for less. Of course, faster and cheaper stuff is around the corner, but if you wait you certainly won't have a machine in your lap. Just more money in the bank. Patrick Lowell Neudeck wrote: > I am new to the list and I have the following question. I am planning to buy > an iBook.
