I am not at all certain that moving prices down in the Mac laptop lineup is a great idea. It depends a lot on what one will get for a lower price.
Right now, there is a brisk market for high end G4 Mac laptops that lands right in the range proposed for a low end Intel model. For that price, however, you get lots of ports and high end optical drives as well as a large screen in a used laptop. I've found few bad ones, too, which makes that market very attractive to students and folks who just want a laptop for travel and/or convenience in websurfing and e-mail.
I'd be interested in seeing what a low range MacBook might do to that used market.
