arstechnica.com — Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer's talk of "future product transitions" during the recent earnings call has opened the way for a lot of speculation. MacBooks under $1,000 for back-to-school seems like a pretty good bet.

A Mac Pro is an $8000 computer...and you want it for under $1k with a monitor? Do you have any idea what's under the hood of that computer? The two quad-core processors are probably $1500 of the price tag...

Amen. You know what Maximum PC referred to the mac book pro's heating/warping problem as a feature(obviously sarcastically? I wouldn't take a mac if it were offered to me for free.

I do not believe you do anything that requires it, you just think you do.

Just buy a refurb, you get a year of AppleCare free and it works just as well, using one right now.

I'll agree with the second part, "Vista has a horrible consumer satisfaction rating.". Hell, it's true, i'm not going to be the one to deny it.However, 100,000 viruses out for windows and 0 for apple.... Has someone forgot the fact there have been SEVERAL Trojans that run rampant with macs now with it's increasing popularity(Popularity that Windows has long enjoyed). Plus, I'd like to add that in a very public contest, the mac air got hacked in 2 minutes and the windows box got hacked later, but only because of software installed on it. Where as Mac's flaw was with the OS its self. Don't act like Mac is impervious because people are becoming very aware that it is not.
