Now is the best time yet to go get a used Macbook for much, much less than any other time.
That’s because Apple is poised to mention the iPad 2 in March, therefore many retailers will be busy trying to move old stock out to make room for what’s anticipated to be another bum-rush for the latest and greatest.
Consequently getting a used Macbook will probably be a value proposition like no other, because in their relative desperation many a vendor is sure to lower prices even more, just to get rid of the thing!
As a buyer, this is a great circumstance to be in.
Apple is generally regarded as being a high-end company offering upscale products, but the anticipated frenzy for the iPad 2 really should make even an otherwise top-of-the-line used Macbook an easy bargain a lot more similar to what’s available on the “Wintel” side of things.
Needless to say, speaking of Windows and Intel machines, these should still be the best bang-for-the-buck deals going on anywhere, online or off, Mac liquidation sales or no.
Apple evangelists notwithstanding, there is truly no persuasive reason to get anything the business offers, unless one is an insatiable technophile and really enjoys being an early adopter.
Otherwise, knock-offs show up in time, with pretty good enough prices and capabilities to match.
The only other “reason,” so-called, is aesthetics.
For some reason, likely relating to CEO Steve Jobs own origins as a designer prior to he became quite the businessman, Apple has always had a knack for being attractive.
Hey, there’s hardly any arguing with a trophy wife.
It’s the sizzle, not the steak.
Luckily, throughout the buying public, there’s enough meat left over to go around – and around.
But politically incorrect combined metaphors aside, used Macbooks will probably be priced to move very soon, so get ready to pursue them!
