Fancy the latest Intel Core Duo powered MacBook Pro (which I mentioned on my blog)? The cheapest I can find in Australia (except maybe eBay) is from Getmac (formally AppleCart which I reviewed here).
They sell the base model (1.67Ghz Intel Core Duo 15.4″ 512Mb/80Gb) for AUD$3007.06, plus standard delivery of $7.50. Quite a bit of saving from other resellers and Apple Store, who sells at RRP of $3199 (+ delivery for some). Not sure about the EDU price — can someone confirm whether it’s still a good deal?
Here’s are its detailed specification for the base model:

|---|---|
| Memory | 512Mb 667Mhz DDR2 |
| Display | 15.4″ LCD at 1440×900 |
