Not a bad deal, but I’ve seen this exact model on clearance for $1699 and below at a few places recently.

with ssd hdd ?

basically, it uses less power and gives a longer battery life with less noise.

Yup, the deals I saw were for a MB940X/A with 128GB SSD. One place has since sold out, and Comp Now, who had it on clearance for $1699 for the past few weeks, have now raised the price to $1799 on their clearance list (still listed at $1699 in Google’s cache, though, if you want proof :P).

What a beauty. Gonna have a black Friday at apple this week. Let’s see what we will get.
