Amazon must be aware of new devices coming soon so they are trying to clear out. I would buy this, but I just can't adopt a new Mac right now. I have too many devices as it is. And I am only gonna use it to comment on Macrumors!

At two years old, with those weak specs it doesn’t even feel like a deal. It’s offensive that its normally 1599
