Thought this was a great deal for any student looking for the latest generation NEW MacBook Air! BestBuy currently has the 13" MacBook Air on sale this week for $999 ($100 off regular price) but college students also get an additional $100 off by signing up for the BestBuy back to school promo... after discounts this deal comes to $200 off the Apple regular price!

MacBook Air - $999
BestBuy - $100 College Student Coupon

I hope this deal can help someone!

That's the deal I used when I bought my Macbook Air this past Sunday. Ended up being $962 with tax.

Absolutely did not need a new macbook right now... I am have an Early 2011 Macbook 15" i7 that I love........... but for $899, I couldn't resist picking up a 13" MBA. It was a close call though, as I almost got the 11" for $849. After playing with both 11 and 13 inch models, I decided the extra 2-4 hours of battery life would be worth the $50.

Just wanted to say thank you very much dpace32 :)

I'm a college student and the time you took to post this deal helped me out immensely. I am very very grateful. Thank you :)

I already placed the order and I can't wait to pick mine up from Best Buy tomorrow :D

Good deal, but think I'll pass on the 2013 Air, given the WiFi and blank screen issues. Not looking like a good build year.

August 20

Where did you see August 20th? I would think the last day is the 10th?

i did the same exact deal, couldn't pass it up.

Any idea if Best Buy carries a MBA 13" with 8GB ram?

they do not. i know, i said to myself that i will buy the 8GB ram since i need it, but since bestbuy deal was way too good to pass up i went with a base model.

----------

Yikes... thats a high tax rate!

mine only taxed at 54$ costing me 954

The $100 coupon is valid until 8/17. Would suck if BBY stopped discounting the Air on the 10th...well it would suck for me.

Yes, you are correct. The Student discount is valid till august 17, but the sale for everyone at bestbuy for another 100$ off ended yesterday.

So if you have a student discount code you can now get it for 999

If they had the 8 GB models, that would be great, but it's still a great deal never-the-less.

Does anyone know if they have the 256 GB models, at least, or is it just the base 128 GB?

Just bought one from BB - 4GB/256GB 13" for $1134. Yeah 8GB model would have been good to have but since this is my bedside laptop with occasional moderate work that's not an issue. (With Win8 btw, with OS X 4GB are not enough for my use case.)

It's too bad the sale ended yesterday. I should have picked on up while it was on sale. At least its still lower than Apple right now. 1049.99
