Now you can get one for $1600. Not worth it thought considering that you can get a MacBook for $1100

they basically upgraded the GHz to 2.0 instead of the regular 1.83GHz and added a glossy screen, so since they did that you can get a refurbished one for $1600. Check the Apple Store refurbished website.

i have heard the same thing.. i dont know if its true.. but that many ppl are talking about it...

only way to find out is to go to the apple store.. pick one up and feel under it..
dont tell any of the store reps what you're doing.. just test it for yourself.

lyangsuan & thelox714, this article may be the answer to your question. Take a look. Not sure though.
