As you may recall, we weren't exactly overflowing with praise for Apple's new polycarbonate unibody MacBook in our review (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/unibody-macbook-late-2009-review/) a couple of months back. It's not that it's a bad laptop (though it does certainly have some shortcomings), it's just that it didn't quite feel like $999 of laptop. But $728? Now that's a bit more like it. While it's unfortunately not a permanent price drop, or even a sale that's available to everyone, that is the price that at least some students and educators can now snag the entry-level MacBook for. It's not clear how long that price will last though, as the regular educational pricing for the laptop is now apparently $899.
