The price of admission has dropped for students to join the mobile Macintosh community. The entry level MacBook is normally $999 for we non-.edu plebeians, but runs $949 for those with access to Apple's Store for Education. However, Apple has dropped another $50 post-Christmas and the model can now be had for just $899.
For that, you get a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and an Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics chip, all wrapped in a shiny white polycarbonate unibody enclosure. The MacBook is still listed as $949 on the gateway education pricing page on the Apple Store as of this writing, but click through to the purchase page and you’ll get the new, lower price.
