Were you waiting for that Apple announcement of the $800 laptop that didn’t happen?  They retained 1 white Macbook for $999, and added new aluminum Macbooks and Macbook Pros and a display that look great, but where is that $800 laptop? Well, we are going to make your day! Here is the Apple MacBook 2.1 GHz, 1GB, Core 2 Duo, 120HD for $869 with free shipping! There is a $75 rebate to get you to this price which requires this purchase by October 27, so don’t delay.  Of course, you can always purchase the same laptop at Apple for $999. 

The IDEA® (International Design Excellence Awards) program is the premier international competition honoring design excellence in products, ecodesign, interaction design, packaging, strategy, research and concepts.  Happy to see that Apple got 5 awards (iMac, iPhone, keyboard, Macbook, Macbook AIr).  Also, several other items that we have written about on the blog won an award including the Zeppelin iPod Speaker Dock, the Curve, and the Flip video camera.
