Not really a sale when Apple sells them for the same price.

You can get them $50 off through educational pricing which doesnt require validation and EVERYONE does.

ok debbie downer.. not everyone goes through the apple store and some apple stores do indeed check for school id's

MBA i5 13" 256GB is $1499 at Best Buy, but you must order it since they don't have them in stock.

Be careful ordering from bestbuy online. I placed my order 2 hours ago and it's already backordered.

Yet you did agree to their terms and such that you do go to school and that they can charge your credit card for the extra amount if you don't give proof when they ask.

i'm planning on going to the actual store.. i believe some NYC stores have gotten shipment already. i'm calling a few now to double check before i head over. hopefully i can get the $100 promo also

MacMall also has some decent discounts through their AppleInsider ad. I don't think they have all the models in yet, though.

 

[Apple Expert]

Hopefully amazon matches them. They generally do if enough people notify them of them price difference.

 

[bobr1952]

I am probably going to go with Amazon to take advantage of the sales tax advantage--and get 2-day prime shipping once they get them in stock.

You can also get apple employee discount for a discount of either 25%, 15% or 10%. Why would you buy any other way? "EVERYONE does"

Scroll down to the bottom on the page and click on the link to tell them of a lower price.

Amazon does read these and often reacts.

 

[dibara2003]

Better question is, can you buy online (for CB purposes), pick up and request the $100 gc to match Apple's b2s promotion. That would be perfect

I've done that. FYI Amazon now has them in stock. The 13" i5 256gb.

 

[radiohead14]

to NYC people: Best Buy Chelsea, Union Square, and 45th St have them in limited stock. I got my 11" 4GB 128SSD at the Chelsea one and they had 2 left. got mine with the $60 off and the $100 gift card. happy as a clam right now

Does best buy require proof? I don't have my education email yet as im attending this fall.

Depends on who you ask at the store.

^this

but since you're a legit student, i believe they will accept any proof.. like a letter of acceptance.

Alright, dumb questions:

1. Best buy has a student discount program?
2. Is there a $100 gift card for buying a i5 macbook air?
3. The i5 macbook air is $1234 on sale already.

So are we looking at $1234- $100 - student discount?

If so, that is a very great deal.

1. No. They match apple's price.
2. Yes.
3. No. You will get it for $1234 + $100 GC

OK, so the price is $1234 + tax. Then they give you a $100 best buy gift card.
Now what is the return policy--I refuse to accept one with a dead pixel. Before I have had problems returning to Best buy for that reason. Are there restocking fees on apple laptops?

I'm sure it says on their website.

Since I'm not close to a best buy, is it possible to receive the $100 GC online?
