The Christmas season is upon us! Perhaps you or a loved one has had their eye on a Macbook this Holiday but don't want to spend full retail on a new one.
Buying a used Macbook may just be the solution you are looking for. You can find some great deals year round and especially around the Holidays as people buy new Macbooks and are wanting to sell their Macbook for cheap.
One of the best places to pick up a used Macbook is on eBay. You can find cheap Macbooks on sale all the time and purchase with confidence.
Looking for a cheap Aluminum 13" Macbook pro? How about a cheap Macbook Pro? Perhaps you want the portability of a Macbook Air or go all out and get a cheap 17" Macbook? Below are just a sample of the great deals you can find on eBay for cheap used Macbooks this Holiday season.
Last Fall Apple released the Aluminum Unibody Macbook and left the low end white cheap Macbook wanting. This year Apple decided to revamp the entry level laptop by redesigning the shell using the same technology that made the Aluminum Unibody Macbooks a success.
Included with the new unibody construction is the following:
the thinner, lighter, more rigid construction
a new built-in battery that lasts much longer
the removal of all flaps and levers and covers (it now takes a screwdriver to open the back panel)
a new multitouch glass trackpad
new Mini DisplayPort video output (rather than mini-DVI)
combined audio input and output ports (rather than separate audio in and out jacks)
Although we had hoped for a lower price point it seems Apple is content with the $999 price-tag.
Apple has announced that it's long awaited operating system "Snow Leopard" will be available on August 28th 2009. This is just a few days before it's expected September release but we will take it.
When Apple introduced the new 13" Aluminum Unibody Macbook Pro many people decided that their 13" aluminum Macbook just wasn't good enough anymore.
Fortunately for the budget conscience this left a flood of cheap Macbooks on the market.
Whenever Apple introduces a new line up it is the perfect opportunity for those looking to purchase a computer without paying full retail to capitalize. Sometimes you can even find a brand new previous version Macbook at your local electronics store at a discounted price but you have to act quick as they go quickly.
A good play to find previous version cheap Macbooks is on eBay. Those people selling their previous versions Macbook are anxious and willing to sell quickly and at a much discounted price.

The back to school promotion is back again at Apple! The promo runs from May 27, 2009 to Sept 8, 2009. College students, faculty or staff members who qualify will receive a free iPod Touch with the purchase of a new Mac.
Apple Back to School Promotion
Every year college students interested in getting a cheap Macbook wait in anticipation for the back to school promotion. Besides the college education discount that can be used all year long they can also expect some sort of gift from Apple. Typically this has been an iPod but some rumor sites where predicting a free iPhone. The latter was highly unlikely seeing how the iPhone would require a commitment from the student to have that monthly bill. The iPod touch really does make more sense.
