Price Increase on MacBook Pro???

[NoShoreGuy]

Anyone notice the price for a new 13" Macbook Pro WTB went up $100??? Yesterday they were $1699 for the 256GB, 8GB ram. Today they are $1799..... anyone else notice, wonder why they did this?

They are preparing the holiday discount to "gift" you the $100 back...

They did it to increase their profit margin.

As far as I know it's always been $1799 at the Apple Store at least... Are you maybe getting the education price confused with the non education price?

They did it because so many people on here were complaining that they couldn't properly differentiate between the models so Apple made it easier.


Thanks MacRumors whiners.

You cannot possibly be suggesting that Apple is a profit driven organization. When did that happens?

The price from Apple has been $1799 since they were released.

I have the 13pro MacBook, are you still looking for it.

It has been 4 years since the topic post - I am sure that the person is still desperate and looking to acquire a MBP 13.
