Apple MacBook Pro 17-Inch Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz Laptop (newest model MC226LL/A)

That's $260 less than the Apple Store charges for the 17-inch MacBook Pro.

The 17-inch MacBook Pro is the largest laptop that Apple makes. It's great for web designers, graphic artists, and anyone who wants a large screen for easy viewing multiple windows at the same time -- maybe your email and a web browser or a spreadsheet, as well as an instant messenger client. Although netbooks and smart phones have been all the rage recently, the 17-inch MacBook Pro can be a great mobile computing solution if you need just a little portability that a desktop PC can't offer but you won't have to move your computer several times a day.
