We’ve mentioned the $150 rebate on the iMacs and MacBook Pros but we have good news:

Apple announced upgrades to their processors and Amazon just sent a few of us the following in an email:

Hello from Amazon.com.

You recently placed an order for a new Apple MacBook Pro from Amazon.com. Apple Computer Inc. has decided not to manufacture this particular computer model. Instead, Apple is manufacturing an upgraded model with a faster processor to fulfill outstanding orders.

The good news is that we will automatically ship the upgraded model at no additional charge to you when we fulfill your order. The new computer is also eligible for the $150 rebate offered by Amazon.com. You can view your order status by visiting “Your Account� on Amazon.com.

Here is information on your order:

CANCELLED ITEM:
Item # B000BNHMIY
Apple MacBook Pro 15.4″ Notebook MA091LL/A
(1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB RAM, 100 GB Hard Drive, SuperDrive)

Item # B0006PK94Q
Apple MacBook Pro 15.4″ Notebook MA464LL/A
(2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB RAM, 100 GB Hard Drive, SuperDrive)

You can find more information about the new product specifications and the Amazon.com rebate on our website here:

If you don’t want to receive the upgraded product as a substitute, you still have the option to cancel your order before the Estimated Ship Date that appears on the order in “Your Account.�

We hope you enjoy your new computer.

That means the $150 rebate still applies and you get a faster processor for the same price!  That makes this deal even more appealing.  Here is the link to the 2.0 GHz MacBook Pro (rebate) and the dual 1.83 GHz is not currently available (also, the old listings are listed as “not available”).
