I'm ready to pull the trigger on the entry level M1 MBA, but was wondering if anyone thinks there will be any last minute-before-the holidays sales this weekend? I saw the B&H and Costco had some Black Friday deals ($100 off or so).

Using my corporate EPP discount, I can save 6%, making it $939.

I doubt it. $100 off a brand new apple product is pretty good IMHO.

right should i wait and see if those $100 discounts come back or just roll with the EPP discount? i guess i can wait a few more days.

Also look to see if you qualify for the EDU store, that's $100 off the top, plus discounted upgrades and Applecare+.

I have an EDU email address but don’t technically qualify. I do however have kids at home who are hybrid learning. Does they count? Anyway they actually audit?

Check Best Buy for open box deals. Sometimes you can get them for about $100 off and they look brand new.

Order from a site with no state online sales tax (if you're in the U.S)

My sales tax in Corpus Christi TX is alittle on the higher side

I paid ~$120 less with no tax on expercom for my M1 16/512 mac mini because they don't charge sales tax.

Plus they have a discount code worth $20 if you search the web (i'm not sure if stated code is allowed on MR.)

So it was like a $120 discount.
