There have been some super deals out there, ’specially the last release of the MacBook, BUT, disgressionary restraints lead us to resist the temptation to buy now unless “absolutely” necessary.

Macs are still a rip off…. once we can build our own i will probably own one (most likely never). Or if the price drops by like half…

The education discounts are better so if you know someone in higher education just get them to buy it for you.

I just checked bestbuy’s website. There’s no discount. It’s straight full retail price.

The Macs have been on sale at Best Buy since yesterday. I walked out with a 2.4 ghz new Macbook for $1449 +tax.

For me, the discount was all I needed. I bought mine online and went to pick it up.

Idiot. The student discount is available ON TOP of any Black Friday discount. I bought my Black MacBook two years ago for $1300 (-$200 off retail).

Lines at Apple Stores aren’t generally that long, in my experience, especially if you’re grabbing a big ticket item instead of an iPod Nano. Just grab a sales rep with the remote machine and lay down the plastic.

I know I’d be upgrading to a new LED-backlit aluminum MacBook if the economy wasn’t so far into the toilet.

The discounts look ok… They aren’t all that though. But they are definitely better than usual sales from Apple. I’m still waiting to buy my Mac though…
