The Apple Online Store is selling numerous "refurbished" February 2011 MacBook Pro models that came pre-installed with Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.6), under which your partner can still use Microsoft Office 2004. <http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook_pro> Does this qualify as a "sweet spot in the middle"?
