[QUOTE="86Apex, post: 1019962, member: 21413"] Oh I see. Well once the new models come out the prior ones generally aren't available through Apple unless you get a refurbished model, so really the only other alternative is to go to an electronics dealer like Best Buy. They tend to not update those models as fast to get rid of the stock they already have, so you may be able to find a deal there. You can also talk them down in price sometimes, just takes a little haggling skills. ;) Also, you mentioned playing some video games on the machine once you get it. Although the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M that comes standard in the cheaper models is pretty good at handling most games, if you're going to be running some really graphic intensive ones (which tend to be the newer ones that everyone plays) you should look at a model with a 9600 GT card.
