UK stores sweeten MacBooks
Following the launch of its new Core 2 Duo-based consumer-oriented MacBook laptops, Apple UK retail stores have begun selling stock of the original MacBook Core Duo systems at reduced prices. The base white 1.83GHz model is reduced from £749 to £719, while the 2.0GHz white MacBook has dropped from £899 to £789. The black 2.0GHz MacBook with an 80GB hard drive and 1GB of memory has sunk to £929. All models are only available in stores where stock is available, and the deals are unavailable via the Apple Store UK online. The company also lowered prices on its refurbished Core Duo MacBooks in the U.S. earlier this week alongside the launch of the revised systems, offering reconditioned first-generation MacBooks for as little as $899 with free shipping and a one-year warranty.
