Thinking about getting a new MacBook. Best deal out there?

[rgG]

If you don't get charged tax by Amazon, they usually have the best deal, after rebate, at least for me. The best time to buy is right after an update when you can snag a previous generation at a good discount. That might not be possible right now, but I would still think a rebate deal from Amazon would be a good one. Looks like $1,004.99 A/R for the lowest priced MacBook from Amazon.

MacConnection has some previous generation MBP for $1599 and $1799, but that would still be a lot more than the least expensive MacBook. Here are the MacConnection and Amazon links.
