Save $89.00 off the MacBook Pro 15 inch 2.2Ghz Laptop

I like to save money on Apple stuff. In fact, that’s the reason I started ramseeker over a decade ago, as RAM was –  and still is overpriced when you buy direct from Apple, but this also holds true on Apple notebook computers too, and here’s a perfect example: If you buy this 2.2 Ghz MacBook Pro with a 15 inch display from Apple directly you’ll pay full pop – the $1799.99 MSRP. But if you buy the exact same notebook from Amazon you save $89.00. I don’t know about you but $89.00 is savings worth paying attention to. 89 bucks buys you a nice notebook case, or a dinner out, or maybe you just want to save money on Apple Macbook Pro’s.

 

 

Amazon offers the Apple MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz for just $1709.99, for an $89.00 savings off the full list price for this fast notebook. This professional notebook computer from Apple features a fast Intel Core i7 processor running at 2.2Ghz, 4GB of DDR3 RAM (you’ll need more, I’ll get to that in a minute) a 500Gb hard drive and Mac OSX Lion with a seven hour battery life all as standard  equipment.

There’s  cheaper notebooks on sale from Apple, but if you’re wanting a fast Apple MacBook Pro that is truly still a portable notebook, a $100 savings (ok, close) is a good deal on a 2011 Apple MacBook Pro.

Apple MacBook Pro 15 inch 2.2 Ghz Memory Upgrades. 

Even with the fast processor, this Apple Macbook Pro can accept more RAM and if  you want to max out the ram on the Apple MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz 15 inch all the way to 16GB you will need to buy two 8GB DDR3 sodimms. The ram prices for 16GB MacBook Pro are dropping, but at the time of writing can be a bit pricey still when compared to the 8GB memory upgrade kit that will still allow you to double the RAM on your 15 inch MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz and have money left over. If you opt to buy the 8GB RAM kit for MacBook Pro  you will be able to double the RAM for less than the $89.00 savings, so even when adding more memory to the Macbook Pro 2.2 Ghz, you still come out ahead than if you were to buy the MacBook Pro direct from Apple.
