Upgraded — Get a new MacBook every two years. From $36.06/month with AppleCare+ included.
Two interesting things about this: (1) the Intel-based Macs support all the main startup key combinations as PowerPC Macs, including FireWire Target Disk mode (which is yet another reason why I don’t expect to see FireWire dropped in any Macs any time soon); (2) this is the first time I’ve seen Apple use the term “Intel-based Macs”, which is the term I’ve been using for a while. Needless to say, we won’t be abbreviating it to a TLA.
