MacBooks just showed up on Apple's online store in the refurbished section. About $1350 for the cheap one, the warranty, and a RAM upgrade from Newegg. So tempting...

EDIT: Mac owners, how necessary is the AppleCare warranty?

I'm going to agree with the others, definitely get the warranty. I worked as a mac tech in a university computer store for a couple of years, and you wouldn't believe the number of computers that people had to just give up on because it was past the 1-year included warranty. Applecare bumps it out to 3, and for any computer (laptops especially) there's a good chance that it'll need warranty repair within three years.
