Did you read the article? These guys are leasing MBPs, not Dell Inspirons. Your MBP depreciation numbers ($2000->$500 in 5 years) are also wrong.

You're right. Macbook Pros depreciate down to $400, (if you have $100 office tacked on). I guess its closer to $2000->$300 in 5 years.

Without Office... it looks like the Macbook Pro depreciates to $175.

Not looking good for a laptop that 5-years ago costed $2000.

Realistically, I'm seeing $500 on certain EBay deals, but really its anywhere between $175 to $500.
