"Apple is the smuggest most overrated company I have ever seen. Apple needs to go out of business.

Happy New Year"

Great. Another satisfied customer.

You don't like their products? Then do what any other adult would do: move on, instead of crying like a baby.

Apple should go out of business because they make you throw a tantrum? How about you just go away, and let all the people who earn a living based on Apple's success continue to do so?

Some of the models you list are previous-generation MacBook Airs, introduced in January 2008. They are the ones discounted to $1149. The newer, October 2008 models are the ones discounted by only $60 to $1739. You can find even more deals at sites like Mac Prices.

There is a big problem with your arguement here. Apple hasn't discounted the new ones at all, only the old refurbished ones. While the discount is a bit steep, its for a refurb old one, which pretty much is worthless considering how much better the new one is. Also, Amazon is notorious for discounting things, and the MacMall discount is nothing new. MacMall has always met their customers in the middle between the retail and student discount prices for a product that apple sells. Again, this is nothing new. Please do some research before you speculate.

The new top of the line mac air is a jewel – i got one and the speed of the new vid card helps a ton – it doesn't really get that hot at all (I think some people block the vents without realizing it) and the lightness of it makes it simple to use anywhere in the house or whereever – you might thikn other laptops aren't heavy these days but once you get used to something that is like a cmipboard you never want to go back

great product

In addition to missing that the sale is on MacBook Airs that were discontinued in October, you misread the end time of the sale, which is 11:59PM the night before Shiller's Keynote. You also got the start time of his keynote wrong, it's 9AM PDT.

Given that you got all the facts upon which you base your speculation wrong, I wouldn't place much stock in it.

ex ped: Off by nine hours. Fixed. Thanks for the catch.

You should point out that it is the models sold prior to the graphics, RAM and storage upgrades a couple of months ago that are seeing the steep discounts. The newer models have relatively modest $50 and $100 rebates.

ex ped: Noted. Thanks.
