>I was *disappointed* in the prereleased pricing info on upcoming models that none were below $2K.<

I'm curious. Are you disappointed as a potential *consumer* that wanted a cheap G3 or are you disappointed as a *shareholder* who wants AAPL to offer a low-cost laptop.

If the latter, then 1400C/133/16/CDs are selling at J&R here in New York for $1699.

These are entirely adequate machines for most users. Also, they're G3 upgradeable.

IMO, until AAPL puts out a legitimate $500 appliance, it considers its discontinued inventory to be its low-end strategy.

X: What's the current price of the current G3 laptop? If it's not under $2K it will be sometime after the new ones are released, don't you think?

I understand that to entice PC users we need great pricing as well as great machines. They appreciate the lower PC price and don't realize they're getting a far inferior machine.
