I got my first laptop this summer - a 700 iBook 128/CD from Small Dog for $749 (new) - with free shipping. Still feeling good about finding this deal. After adding an Airport card and upgraded memory to 640, my laptop is a capable machine. I'm now looking for the best deal on extended Applecare warranty. It really pays to shop around.
