Apple Store Still Has Dual Processor PowerMac & Pismo PowerBook For US$1999

Apple Store Still Has Dual Processor PowerMac & Pismo PowerBook For US$1999

by , 7:00 AM EST, January 18th, 2001

The Apple Store is still directly selling some of "last year's" models, including a dual-processor PowerMac G4 450 and a 400 MHz Pismo PowerBook for US$1999 each. A single processor 400 MHz G4 starts at US$1299. Specifically:

Power Mac G4

  • Power Mac G4 400/64/20GB/Rage128/DVD-ROM/56K Modem Add $1,299.00
  • Power Mac G4 450DP/128/30GB/DVD-ROM/56K Modem Add $1,999.00

PowerBook G3

  • PowerBook 400MHz/64/10GB/DVD/8SD/E/56K Add $1,999.00

Macintosh Server G4 (AppleShare IP 6.3 Server)

  • Macintosh Server G4 450/128/30GB/DVD/ASHR Add $2,449.00

You can find these deals on a special page at The Apple Store. If that particular link expires, or does not work for you, look for a link on the right hand side of the main Apple Store Web page saying "Save."

The Mac Observer Spin:

The new PowerMac G4 models introduced at last week's MACWORLD have more than just faster processors. They have a substantially faster system bus, a CD-RW drive, and some have the much nicer nVIDIA GeForce2 MX video card. However, if you think you might be doing a lot of Photoshop work or will be relying on Mac OS X, then US$1999 is a good price to get a nice dual processor box. The entry level Mac is also a great entry price for people wanting expandibility on a budget.

The PowerBook is a no-brainer. The Pismo is a great laptop, though not as good as the PowerBook G4, but at US$1999, it's hard to beat the price.
